Why the long face
Posted on | February 22, 2008 | No Comments
Are you an emotional eater?
Do you snack frequently during the day?
Do you eat when you get angry about something or are upset?
If you do any of the above things, ask yourself is there something else that is behind this, like some kind of trauma?
If you suffered some kind of trauma do you think that it has scarred you and therefore you eat to comfort yourself?
Do you feel there is no way out for you?
Do you feel depressed?
Do you dread getting up in the morning?
If you feel any of the above things or experienced anything bad in your life, do you think that maybe it is time that you tried to get over this to be happy again?
Please read my suggestions and tell me if you think that this could help you.
The reason I have asked you all of these questions is because I think if we can all talk about what we are feeling and admit that there is a problem and start to address what is bothering us.
This may not relate to everyone out there but I am sure lot of you including myself have felt this way or have done these things in the past, the present and will do in the future. You know how everyone always tells you to think positive and good things will happy, well they might be on to something here. I started thinking positive and have achieved allot. I created this website and am in the process of writing my novel.
A year ago I would not have dreamed that I would start this site or even write a book, but I have. One wise woman told me to believe in myself and I did – just like that. In the process I focused on all the positive things in my life like my Husband Rob, my gorgeous dog Pebbles, my new site and my book. The only reason I feel positive now is because I took a chance and did these things that have occupied my time. The world is your oyster, so let us all get active and do something useful with our time and have some fun.
I guess what I am trying to pint out is that there must be something you want to sink your teeth into and really give a go, or just do it because you love to do it. Write a list of things you might like to give a try.
My activity is writing and fashion, yours could be cooking, pottery or sport. You just need something to focus on other then your weight and how others make you feel. Just something that is done for you.
I know this will change your life because it has mine. I think more clearly, I have a purpose and have only really now started to appreciate who I am. The questions above are not meant to upset, but rather let you bring out your feelings and allow you to face them. Drop me your story and or comments to Katly@big-girls-dont-cry.com.
