Telling yourself that your parents did the best they could have will prevent you from healing compulsive eating. The true causes of our relationship with food originate in our childhood experience.
How I Unfroze Emotionally and Healed Binge Eating
When I began researching compulsive eating and first discovered the idea that the way to heal is to feel suppressed emotions, I was very shut down.
Your Children Aren’t Causing Your Overeating
If you’re a parent, your children are not the cause of your compulsive eating. Your own childhood is. Whatever is being triggered by your children is far older than their existence.
