Hi Christie, I love the direction your blog is taking. I’ve been a reader for a while now, this is where I find lots of useful information but also comfort in the knowledge that I am not alone in this. As for my reasons, I recently was able to pinpoint the most significant one:
I eat to self medicate and to numb myself to the unpredictable fragility of life. More than anything, food makes me feel safe. And as of yet I haven’t quite figured out how to deal with that.
Procrastination. When I’m trying to avoid doing something I really don’t want to do, the urge to eat is almost overwhelming.
My choice to overeat comes into play when i just want to check out
for a while. By checking out i mean, no recording of emotions, “forgetting” to record food and/or not getting up off my butt.
Fortunately I meet with my trainer 1x per week and let him know where i am, mentally. After a good workout with him or just even sitting and talking about emotions i get up off my pity pot and get back on track and always feel better.
Have recently experienced emotions by “just being” and it was okay. No overeating or anything.
