This is wonderful. Thank you, Sandarah. I hope I can keep this in

mind -- I think I'll keep this post and read it when I'm feeling

like I'm being overtaken by food and want to resist!

I'm going to sound like a broken record eventually, but I

believe that the only way out is through. Being

"overtaken" by formerly forbidden foods is a journey

through the thinking and emotions that underlie the

obsession.

As long as we're resisting, the food will win. I swear.

That doesn't mean deciding to just binge the rest of one's

life - it does mean going with the binges and learning

they will play out when you stop fighting them and instead

be with the you that is so hungry.

As long as we're in fear, fear will win. Fear of that

inner being who's crazed about food. Who is she? How did

she get that way? How long as she been that way? How do I

treat her? Do I know that it's a part of me - or just the

reality of humans being out of control? Who is the hungery

self inside of me? What does she need?

What's your history with food? When did you first learn

that you were out of control? Who said? When did you first

feel terror about weight gain? What was happening in your

life at that time? There are a million questions that can

help you ferret out the driving forces of your food fear.

Start asking them, rather than how do I stop this which is

a battle cry rather than a surrender into the journey

required in order to heal from this food obsession.

Best wishes, Sandarah

This is about making peace with food - not fighting it. Sandarah
