"Boxed in and trapped. The dilemma of the binge eater. The obese woman is the big box trying to show the world that see is the small box.

"En Treat puts me in touch with my personal struggle. I am hungry for food
and affection but if I eat or if I reach out to someone for love, I will be
overwhelmed by feeling full and fat. I have to control my need to eat and
love or I will devour everything. I struggle to make my body attractive and
inviting, but feel hungry and rejected if I am not perfect. The tension
makes me angry and I push others away. It is vicious circle, I can't escape
and people don't believe how desperate I am."
