Beating Yourself up Emotionally<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s mainly a distraction.<\/p>\n

It can be healthy for a few minutes to help bring attention to your issue, and to ignite a fire underneath you in order to take action.<\/p>\n

But anymore than that and you are doing it to distract yourself from the problem.<\/p>\n

1- You are overwhelmed<\/strong> (and maybe unaware of ) by the powerful emotions that underlay your emotional eating and so feel helpless.<\/p>\n

2- Resentment<\/strong>; You don’t want to give up your eating.<\/p>\n

3- You don’t want to face the underlying loneliness<\/strong>, anxiety and emotional mess<\/strong> that is underneath. It’s painful.<\/p>\n

So you distract by beating yourself up, by justifying it, by admitting it even (to pretend that admitting it is actually doing something productive).<\/p>\n

It’s all okay though. Everyone does this.<\/p>\n

You simply need to manage and start to taking control of it, which you can do by reading the main page<\/strong><\/a> of this blog.<\/p>\n
