Top 5 Signs Your Feelings Are Making You Fat
- You feel disconnected and disoriented by strong emotions during family encounters, and you turn to food to calm down.
- During stressful times, you can gain weight without eating extra food.
- In your experience, fear and excess food go together.
- When you feel emotionally unsafe, food is temporarily calming and makes you feel grounded and secure, if only for a few seconds.
- You feel powerless when you’re in an emotional eating phase and powerful when you think you’ve got it handled.
Can you relate to
these statements? If you agree with even three out of the five signs
above, your feelings are making you fat. What I mean is your empathy
is probably interfering with your ability to lose weight and keep it
off.
You might be
thinking, Great, now what? Do I just stop caring? Sort of,
but it’s not that harsh. You don’t need to become an Ice Princess
to maintain a healthy weight.
The first and
most important thing you can do for yourself is begin to manage your
porous boundaries. You see, you are taking in stimulation and
agitation from outside of you and absorbing the emotions of others
until you’re on empathy overload—and as a result, you are gaining
weight.
I know from
whence I speak. Food sealed my porous boundaries where other
people’s energy invaded me, and it allowed me to feel present in
myself. I needed that quiet and calm, but I had to find a better way
to achieve it. This revelation ended an exhausting war with food
which was an incredible feat, given how much I have struggled with
all of this over the years. It all began with understanding why I was
feeling too much and why fear and frustration were making me fat.
