When we feel shame we hide

Binge eating causes us to go into hiding from ourselves and others.

I used to binge eat when no one was home.  Or when they’d all gone to bed.  Or when they were all preoccupied with something else.

I ate quickly.  I’d take food to the bathroom and lock the door.  It felt wonderful and terrible.  Wonderful because I was scratching the itch.  Terrible because I knew I’d have to become conscious again at some point where the self-hate and regret would kick in.

The next day I’d pretend everything was fine while silently disapproving of myself and feeling irritable at the world.  I passive aggressively would think, “WTF is wrong with me?”.  I couldn’t face myself beyond my own self hate.

I hid from myself and others because I was so ashamed.

If you struggle with binge eating, I get it.  I understand your pattern of hiding in shame.  I see you with love.  And I want to help you.  Binge eating is common, it’s just that none of us talk about it because we all feel so much shame.

Will you reach out in your shame and let me show you the way out?  Life does not have to be this way.  There is a way out.  My next round of "Stop Binge Eating and Reclaim Your Sanity with Food" coaching program is just around the corner.  Stay tuned.

 

Until next time,
