This is really fascinating. I’ve been thinking a lot about my eating (maybe even go as far to say binge eating) when I’m struggling emotionally (depressed, low, sad, hopeless). Wondering if this approach can be applied to this? Thanks for the inspiration ❤️
Thank you for taking a moment to comment. I do think this can be applied to your experience as it sounds like a habit / action / pattern that you have experienced to manage or dim out difficult emotions. With this first awareness, the question is whether you'd be better off without this behavior? Next week I'll dive deep into the notion of choice, a meaningful step in empowering ourselves as our own governors, decision-makers, action takers. I'll be curious to hear how this all lands with you. Wishing you well as you navigate. ❤️
I feel similarly. I eat emotionally in the evenings. I have only recently become interested in this behavior. This is a new perspective for me. Prior to this I wanted to go to war with myself and get rid of his behavior, with the end goal of losing weight. Sometimes I even want to lose weight without knowing why I want to lose weight or what losing weight will do for me. it’s going to be helpful in this series of awarenesses to become more acquainted with my emotional life.
I am glad you are seeing a potential thread of support here. I also appreciate that you are wanting to stop the "go to war with myself" approach. I've never seen that work for long. We need compassion, kindness, empowerment, and a motivation to experience freedom from our healthy habits.
It warms my heart to know this is resonant for you, Megan. I had to craft a way that worked for me because I couldn't find anything out there to meet my particular experience and needs. I have been very busy with a book on this approach and look forward to sharing in more depth soon! Thank you for taking a moment to comment.

Living Clear. Wow. This resonates with me in a way nothing has before on my love-hate relationship journey with alcohol.
