Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’ve been faithfully eating the sauerkraut from the shelf at the grocery store and feeling virtuous about it
- I lock up before I even realize it’s happening
- When I’m hungry and rushed I grab whatever’s easiest, and what’s easiest is always the chips on the counter
- When I’m calm I know exactly what helps me, but the second I’m actually in the grip of it my mind goes blank and I can’t remember a single thing to do or even where my stuff is
- When I think back to that moment I can feel my body wanting to push away or run, like the move it never got to make is still sitting there half-finished and waiting in my arms and legs.
