...See more Emotional eating and being overweight or "obese" is something that I have struggled with all my life. Every time I release any amount of weight, I put it right back on. I have spent thousands of dollars on nutrition courses, books, videos, etc. I know what to eat and how to eat mindfully, but I eat too frequently and too fast! I know it has something to do with my childhood and the trauma. I can't remember when I started using food for other than nutrition - like when I'm stressed, bored, or lonely. I don't want to have surgery. Besides, if your mind ain't right you'll still regain the weight away. I was reading about IFS/Parts therapy. It says there are different parts of you that try to protect you. It's automatic, so you're not aware of what's happening or causing the behavior. I will search for a therapist to try working on this with.

My hello doesn't get a response and people look at me like I'm weird if I say excuse me or thank you. Maybe I am weird... My circle was already small as far as friends and got even smaller during the time I was married. I winded up changing a lot, becoming more introverted. I also started the spiritual journey and that made me more serious because I became aware of other people's suffering and all of the crazy stuff going on in the world. So, I've been teleworking since 2020 and now live alone. It's getting hard for me to leave the house at all. I'm getting depressed and feel tired. I'm always overeating and gaining massive weight, but that's another whole issue. Right now I just need to learn how to break out of my shyness and make some friends off of (FB). Maybe help other people. I don't know...
