Settling

[Guest guest]

I just watched " Life is the Doorway " by Geneen Roth on You Tube and was really

struck by the concept that our food may be a direct replacement for something we

have given up in life: a career, having children, a relationship. While I

understood that we may eat to fill " holes " , I always thought of this concept in

a general way-- that we were eating out of dissatisfaction, boredom or

loneliness. It's very interesting to me to think of the things I have given up

for someone else or to consider the ways I give of myself to others without

doing for myself. This is a real " aha " moment for me!

Thanks for being here- you're all such a help! Eden
