steps to a better me-dealing with my emotions and compulsive eating…i am worth all the effort and change….and most of all a life…taking back what was once taken being in charge of my life i am worth all of it…
how do i deal with my compulsive emotional eating
i journal the very moment i start feeling overwhelmed….i really don’t know what has
trigged this feeling yet so i need to get to the bottom of it…all i know that food in the
past has made me feel at ease and fills that void.
I write how i am feeling at that moment because it helps me identify why i am feeling
the way i am feeling
at the moment i am writing without stoping i just want to feel relief and only writing in
down helps me to clear my mind and ease the pain that is causing me to wanna stuff
myself. all i know that i want what ever emotion that is causing this pain to stop.
after writing how i feel and why then helps me understand me, what trigged this
emotion and at the end helps me to realize that at that moment that i had control of
the situation….
And that is the begining of CHANGING OLD HABITS
i notice that no longer my emotions are going to be stonger than my desire to
CHANGE
so what i want to say that writing has become my best friend in dealing with my
emotions….feelings and void…..and that i finally can say i can control this feeling not
the feeling control me….because i am worth fighting for……

Write away Yani!!! It’s good to get it out! BTW…love the progress pics
Good for you! It can often be hard for us to realize the things that are holding us back and then to take actions to do something about it! I am trying to be around a little more often as I’ve been a little absent lately…good for you for writing things down and getting them out. I’ll have to email you…it took me years to realize what I hadn’t let go of yet…Glad you are doing this for YOU!
Journaling is very therapeutic. Good for you!
Writing things down is a great way of getting to the bottom of your emotions and figuring out those cravings. I wish you all the best with this, you are doing so well and you will overcome your emotional eating. It is something that so many of us deal with and it is so difficult to understand…if only there was a magic cure!!
But you are definitely taking the right steps to figuring out your triggers. good luck 
Keep writing and I will keep reading! You are amazing!
You’re better than I on that front! I can’t journal. I get bored, or I lie to myself. It’s pitiful. I write to my tribe. Because I can write to them every single day, or at least text them, or talk to them on the phone. You write your blogs, Yani, and I’ll be here to read them and support them!! You are so strong and fabulous!!
You’ve already figured out the most important part: You ARE worth it. Good luck with identifiying your triggers, and keep writing!
Oh Yani,
You are definitely worth it!
I hope this helps you. I used to binge and in a big way. I have noticed that now–with all the writing I do in here at buddyslim…I dont have near the problem. So, there has to be something to that–writing it out.
You can do this girl–love ya
You are doing great Yani! And you are right-YOU ARE WORTH IT! You are making awesome progress!!!
Have a great week!
You are sooo worth it. We all are. You keep on writing girl, and I will too. Love you!
