i used food for self soothing and ended up as a teen overweighed and lateen. Thereis such shame around it that until you heal the shame, it's very hard to cause the shame keeps triggering the behavior. And so it's being deeply loving and forgiving towards the part of you that's driving the eating. You're just in a stupor, usually. But when you canring to really, even if you can't feel compassion, have the intention to feel compassionate towards yourself, begins to soften the constellation that keeps up the addiction i love so much.
