What Did You Eat And Drink Last?

I've eaten enough food to last me three days over the last two days. The last thing I had today was a 6 in. turkey sub from subway and an oatmeal raisin cookie. All I want are carbs and sugar and fat when I'm feeling very strong difficult feelings. Actual food is probably more grounding. No, it's not probably more grounding it is more grounding. Working on it and trying to remember self-compassion. I do stuff like overeat junk when I'm having a hard time and need to give myself permission to feel and to believe that I will be okay when I feel challenging feelings. I do not need to add excessive self-criticism to the shame, guilt, grief, anger, etc. Move on. Never discourage anyone who makes continual progress, no matter how slow. -Plato

Thought I had a handle on this, not so fast. Jade
