Wow! Food is a powerful controller. All it takes is to face something I don't like and I run to food to avoid dealing with it. I heard a truthful assessment about myself and although I thought I was dealing with it, all I needed was to be left alone with food and it was right there to distract me. I use food to avoid dealing with the truth that lies in front of me.
Okay, so I'm aware of this behavior now. What am I supposed to do now? I know I will repeat this pattern in the future. I will continue to avoid the issues at hand, I will continue to abuse food for this purpose, no change will occur, failure and defeat overcome me. And the cycle continues...
Stop! Write an alternative response:
I will face that issue at hand and find a method (other than food) to work through it. This will provide a change in behavior, that I did myself. I can then claim it as an achievement and this will cycle will continue and happiness will develop.
YEAH RIGHT!!!
