It’s a Catch-22 All the Way Around.
When Lexi was younger, she freely stated that she had a pattern of eating items that were not good for her. She said that her family was relatively poor when she was a child and that neither of her parents ever prepared a meal for the family. They consumed a lot of processed food since it was easier for them to acquire than items that were higher in nutrition.
When she was going through a difficult period, for some inexplicable reason, she would always go to extremes with the amount of food that she consumed. As a direct consequence of this, “I have always been an emotional eater, and food has always been there for me.” She continued to engage in the harmful behaviour even after she and Danny had been together for some time.
