I’m not ‘unhappy’, ‘sad’ or ‘friendless’ all the time. But I can feel that I am some of those things, some of the time.
It’s my ability to allow myself to ‘be’ those things, to ‘feel them, and know that it’s ok.
But also to have the opportunity to look deeper into the cause of the ‘negative’ behaviours, those that have negative consequences.
When one’s health is at risk, it’s time to work it out....
Dr D and I discuss that we are going to treat my ‘binge’ eating as an addiction.
We then also decide to call it “comfort eating”.....
When do I do it?
What kind of food is it?
What texture?
How does it feel? (the food)
What do I feel like?
Is it satisfying?
When does it happen?
So most importantly is the discovery that comfort eating occurs on the weekend. It’s the time I want to be alone! I want to curl up on my couch and hide in my “safe” space. I watch movies and series, and eat “nice” satisfying food.....
I know it’s a behavioural response to a physiological function I am, or am not, performing.
And so, yet another journey beginnings!
