Why might I be in a vicious cycle of eating issues?

Of all the actions you pursue, one of the few things you totally control is eating. You have the freedom to chow down what you want, where you want, how you want, and whether or not you want to do it with or without clothes on. Because of that freedom, eating makes you feel good.

Funny thing, though. Food is like the paint you use to cover over cracks formed in the foundation of your house. Two coats of robin's-egg blue may hide the flaws temporarily, but it's never going to fix the real root of the problem.

If this is you, your cover-up is what starts that tornado-like cycle that keeps you from ever feeling satisfied physically or emotionally. Ask yourself: Could this be part of a cycle? You long for something deeper.

And when you can't find it, you eat to feel better. But you feel lousy because you gain weight. Then you tell yourself you don't deserve to be thin because you can't keep weight off.

Then your self-esteem drops further because you haven't overcome obstacles or accomplished what you want. You self-medicate with food. And then you medicate yourself with food when you can't find something that gives you what I term soul-level satisfaction (or "The It").

And the cycle continues.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
