If you are using food to soothe yourself right now, please put down the shame. Emotional eating isn’t a lack of willpower, and it isn't about hunger. It is a survival mechanism. It is what happens when the weight of what you are carrying becomes too heavy for your mind, so your body tries to anchor you. We turn to the kitchen when we don’t know where else to put our grief, our anxiety, or our loneliness. Today, give yourself some grace. You aren't greedy; you are just trying to feel safe.
