Why Am I So Angry? Helen Gerondis

I have written this memoir in order to find out why I am so angry and in the hope that by doing so I would be able to overcome my food addiction which started after my sister was born when I was three years old. I discovered that leaving my Grandmother behind, losing the company of my father who returned to his business activities, moving from a house I liked to a house I did not like and moving from a school I liked to one I didn't like as well as other unexpected stresses also affected how I felt. Having written, "Why am I so Angry" has changed my perspective and caused me to be more understanding and accepting of myself and other people. Connecting with my anger has been very personally cathartic and beneficial. Now I feel that because of my inner journey and what I have learned along the way including information from the internet about eating disorders, I will become a normal eater. Having overcome my problem with food, I trust I will achieve my lifetime goal of being within the normal BMI range or closer to it, thus increasing my confidence and my self respect. I also trust by telling people, there is more than one creation story, there will be change in what children are taught so that no little girl will be traumatised in the future by being told the Adam and Eve story is literally true and she, being female has to share Eve's guilt and is equally responsible for death and all the suffering in the world.
