People (women) with food issues and eating issues tend to put on the face, a facade that makes everyone around them comfortable. After a while of being a chameleon, the facade begins to stiffen, like a shell, and we can’t even access our own emotions.

I encourage you to check in simply by asking yourself, “what am i feeling” if you don’t know, decipher from this group of feeling words: happiness, sadness, excitement, anticipation, anxiety, joy, fear, anger, shame, surprise, grief, rage…

If none of these words fit, check in with your body. Is there any tightness, tenseness, are you holding anything in your body? Sit with that pain and breathe into it. What comes up for you? Are you sad? Are you happy? Do you feel like laughing? Crying? raging? Allow the energy to move through you, try to accept the emotion, whatever it is without judgement. You deserve it, you deserve to have your feelings.

For that fact, I cannot even begin to talk about my fears. I do write in a journal but I seem to questions the sincerity of my writings or entries.
I know for a fact, I am genuinely scared and tired of this entire situation. I have done the letting go practice. I am just genuinely afraid and I can hear my ice cream yogurt calling me.
