Hi all, I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone has learned through abstinence.
I'll start!
I already knew I was a comfort eater, but I've figured out WHY. It's because everything I "feel" - sadness, anger etc - I feel in the pit of my stomach, and when it's a negative feeling, I think I can smother it by feeling full. Of course, it doesn't work, but I try!
The other thing I've discovered is that I eat when I'm not even hungry. I kinda knew I did that too, but it was all made clearer when I was having some personal problems last week. I just wanted to eat and eat, and it wasn't because I was hungry, it was because I just felt like I should be eating because of all the stress. Once I figured that out, I was able to stop myself eating
Just wondered what everyone else has learned
