The Conundrum of Not Being Able to Stop
Not everyone is in this predicament. Some people overeat a little everyday and have a hard time managing portions. Other people just can't stop eating at all.
I was one of the latter kinds of people. I'd start eating and wouldn't be able to stop until I was so stuffed I hurt really bad. This is abusive behavior.
There is no magic wand, no way to chain you up so you don't keep eating, no way to turn you into a "thin" "beautiful" "perfect" person over night!
But this I know:
There is lots of self-disgust underneath this overeating pattern and to stop at any point would mean to feel that.
Unbearable! Much better to keep eating then to feel it and the cycle continues and it all gets worse and worse and worse until. . .
Someone provides some hope.
One of the keys of BodyWay is, "We have feelings, we're not our feelings."
This is hugely liberating!
Think of it!
You can feel as much shame, self-loathing and disgust as you want and none of it is true.
All you have to do is allow yourself to feel.
Anyone can feel anything when they realize that a feeling is not truth.
Feel on!
So, for you binge-eaters who can't seem to stop until you're suffering so much that you hate yourself even more than you did before, do this simple exercise:
Eat and stop eating anywhere in the cycle BEFORE you would normally stop.
Then feel how horrible you feel.
Feel what you just did to yourself.
Say all the stuff you most hate about yourself out loud.
Say it louder.
Shout it to the sky!
Then celebrate!
None of it's true. Nada!!
Then, forgive yourself for hating yourself.
Forgive yourself for feeling so bad.
Love yourself, like you would a hurting little child.
You're free.
Do that again and again and again.
Do it until you're cleansed of all the bad feelings and begin to really believe that you are loveable.
