Why are my triggers happening?
I thought about each question for sometime and came up with answers that all pointed to my emotions. I recently failed once again with eating healthy, this is beginning to become somewhat like clockwork. As always, I blamed my binging on the holidays, but why? Because its an excuse and a simple finger pointer.
Unfortunately my problems run deeper than just going on binge eating sprees. I am beginning to understand that my problems began from a very young age and there is a psychological link between my eating habits and my past. Because I am unable to effectively process emotions, I have created a vice of running to food to help me cope with the stress within my life. Being a single mother has brought on a boat load of new emotions that I haven't felt in a very long time. Because of these emotional times I have found myself coping more and more with junk food as my go to. I feel like my only moment of happiness is when I'm enjoying a savory or sweet snack.
I am writing a blog as a replacement behavior rather than eating my emotions.
