I just read something in a myfitnesspal.com forum post and it felt like something just woke up in me. Someone wrote about their food/binge trigger not being about stress but rather about control. She thought that she was bingeing on food because of her high stress levels but her friend pointed out that her biggest issue at the moment was a lack of control due to all the things happening in her life.
Wow. Oh, wow.
I have often joked about being a control freak but I think that I am on to something and that this is something that causes me so much needless pain and conflict! Just identifying this won't solve things for me much it does help because so many things make so much more sense now!
It's time to use that power for good instead of evil and turn inaction into action.
