This also means that you need to be gently honest with yourself about which foods truly nurture you and which are the comfort foods that keep us from experiencing ourselves.
Look for your triggers. Are you eating because you’re sad, mad, scared, or stressed about something? Personally, I know I need to not get too frustrated or else I’ll find myself by the cupboard looking for something to calm myself down. But I can also choose to stop for a moment, notice what I’m feeling, and ask myself why I’m frustrated right now. What would I like to be different? How can I make it so? Then go and do that, if you can. Reflecting during these moments will allow us to wake up to all the times we eat for the wrong reasons.
So let’s get into a right relationship with ourselves, where our basic nourishment from food supports us. Then we can then be in a right and loving relationships with others that will nourish our entire being.
