Hi all, I saw your other post regarding emotional eating. Make a conscience decision today to treat your emotions like you would a loved ones. If you child or spouse came to you broken hearted would you just give them a donut or cookie or bag of chips without consoling them, asking them about the painful situation they are in? No, you would gently and patiently work with them and help them find a solution to the pain. Do that with yourself.

I have been practicing this for a while, I have a yellow pad full of pain!! I have come to realize that I have a lot of pain from childhood and into adulthood that has not been dealt with, so when I feel sad, frustrated, angry etc, I write and write and write, I really don't even read it anymore, but the clarity comes and the need for a cupcake rescinds.

Hope this helps someone
