Honor your feelings with love not food

It's all about quality of life and loving ourselves.

I saw a show recently where they said something that resonated so clearly to me. If we allow food to control us - and we can tell that we are letting food control us if we are obese (30 lbs over prime bmi) - there are some emotions we are covering up by stuffing our face with unhealthy choices. It made me think that whenever we get the urge to eat those chips or sweets we should stop and ask ourselves what feelings we are trying to avoid. Stick with it because sometimes it takes awhile for us to be able to get in touch with those feelings. Once we recognize the feeling/s we should then try and just feel them. In fact hold them in our arms as if they were a baby and just rock those feelings. We don't have to judge the feelings, analyze the feelings, we need to just acknowledge them and honor them.

We DESERVE to give our feet, ankles, calves, knees, thighs, hips, lower back, heart, kidneys, etc. all the love and support that we give our family and friends. Our bodies have been there for us and we need to show our gratitude and love by caring for it as the fine gem that it is.
