Mum's the word

ret·i·cent [ret-uh-suhnt]
adj.
1. disposed to be silent or not to speak freely; reserved.

This struggle to achieve balance in my life amongst eating, emotions and fullfillment is a deeply personal one. No one else knows exactly what it's like, though nearly everyone can relate. While the advice of others can be unbiased and eye-opening at times, I believe that those opinions can misdirect me as well.

A touch of reticence is never a bad thing - thinking before I speak, not lying but not divulging every minute thought about eating I might have. Perhaps that way I can form my own opinions and not rely entirely on others' experience to shape my future.
