DAY TWENTY-ONE

Key Theme: DISCIPLINE

EMOTIONAL EATING AND HABIT

There is some comfort in eating, but there is no comfort in being fat. Don’t forget that. There are comforts in other activities as well, and I urge you to investigate them for your personal use. Comforting activities can be directed toward others or toward ourselves— talking with a friend, helping someone out, going for a walk, sending a card, reading a good book. Remind yourself today that so-called emotionally inspired eating is intimately related to the Feast or Famine Cycle. Getting off the Cycle should curtail the “refrigerator response” significantly, but habit may also play a role. So, if you find yourself in the kitchen asking yourself what you’re hungry for and the answer is love, that what you should have. It’s up to you to get or give some.

“Great battles are really won before they are actually fought. To control our passions we must govern our habits, and keep watch over ourselves in the small details of everyday life.” Sir John Lubbock

Food for Thought: The first step in breaking a habit is to think about it.
