Every emotion leads to me eating. Happy, sad, angry, excited. It's what I do. It's also the core of every family celebration. I am so scared that I won't be able to "let go" of eating so much. I'm just looking for some support from somebody that has/had similar issues with food. How did yall handle it? |
my sister mourned food too. And, you aren't giving up food, you are just going to be careful about your selection. For emotions, you are gonna have to find another way to handle that....but food, eventually you will be able to eat just about anything again...its in the beginning during the healing process that you have to give some up.
You'll be fine!
Take care!
