My emotional eating is not, as I have learned through the years, about lack of willpower. I tend to eat the things that are not good for my body when I'm lonely, sad, bored angry, grieving, frustrated, or frightened. I eat because I don't want to feel these feelings. Food is everywhere as is the message that it will fix what ever is wrong. Being happy is not an emotion I want to avoid. However being to happy can also be a frighting thing, you don't want those feelings to go away, the fear comes from loss or grieving the lose of happiness. It's kind of a double edge sword.

Wow. It's like reading my own words. My neurologist has been trying to talk me into surgery, and I tell her that food isn't the problem, my head is. It's emotional. First thing I turn to is food. I'm trying not to have anxiety attacks because I threw away all the salty snacky stuff in the house. I'm on my 3rd week. This is a good place. We all know how hard it is and cheer other on. Cathy |
