What Would You Give Up to Heal Binge Eating?

If you had to lose your family, your religion, your job or your partner in order to fully heal food addiction and come home to yourself, would you be willing to love yourself that much?

Food addiction is a symptom. Symptoms only truly heal when the root causes are addressed and healed.

Healing overeating can involve many processes, such as:

-Discovering more truth about your childhood and present life

-Facing and feeling long-repressed emotions

-Remembering memories you had forgotten/blocked out

-Discovering and pursuing your true passions versus what you think you "should" do with your life

-Setting healthy boundaries

-Speaking the truth to people you've been afraid to

As a part of the processes that naturally arise out of healing food addiction on a soul level, it is often that areas of our lives end up needing to change.

These areas may include:

-Your job and career

-Your friends

-Your current partner

-Your religion or spiritual beliefs

-Your family members

My question to you is, if your self-love required you to change or give up one or multiple of these things, would you do it?

If in order to heal yourself from using food as an emotional crutch and numbing agent, you had to lose some things, would you be up for it?

The thing is, there is so much good on the other side of losing these things.

Whatever changes in the process of loving yourself more and healing overeating at its root causes, will ultimately bring more joy and happiness for you in the long-term.

It could mean you no longer struggle with overeating at all, it could mean the clearing of any health issues related to overeating. It can mean coming home to yourself for the first time. Things may fall apart before you see they are in fact falling together in a healthier way now, and a new life is actually emerging.
