Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Just wanted to share a realization I had while washing dishes this morning. I was one of those that when I first read WF & G, was unable to grasp much of what she was saying because I felt that she was telling me that I must have some big hidden issue from childhood to work find and work with. I've rebelled against that thought and had trouble embracing the idea of emotional eating as it felt outlined there, although I would acknowledge I am an emotional eater. Anyway, this morning, as I was thinking about the cake I made last night (totally eating for the comfort and allowing myself a food as self-care evening.) I realized that it doesn't have to be that deep. Fact is, I learned that food is comfort when growing up. Doesn't need to be any more than that. I eat for comfort and for the good memories and chemical release to the brain and that's enough. Wow. I finally feel ready to try the other G. Roth book I have sitting in my to read pile.
