Balance Indicator
Posted by Kym under Inside my head
When I feel out of balance in my life, I used to resort to food to soothe me. The indicators now that flash warning when my life is out of balance is that I feel either “deprived or indulged”. And if I am stressed, I will often put myself into one of these states as not to feel whatever anxiety I might be feeling. So I might shop till I drop and buy things. Or I might stuff myself. Or I might deprive myself of anything just so I can feel “in control” of something.
Not sure what I am supposed to do with that Ah-ha information… but I count it as growth that I am both more aware of my feelings and more mindful then I was in the past.

ME TOO. That is a big discovery. I have long thought it was such an odd thing, but I definitely feel the need to either eat a ton when I’m stressed or lock down and refuse to eat at all. Weird coping strategies, but good to know what is happening, eh?
