Day 47 – Food replaces love

Day 2From 100 MORE Days of Weight Loss, Day 47

Instead of waiting for someone to show you love, try turning the tables and giving it out.

Remember that you hold the power for your own nurturing and you don’t have to use food to replace love.

Here are my answers to the three questions at the end of the lesson.

1. Identify a holiday, birthday or event where you wait for someone to care about you.

I often wish that people would reach out and care about me on holidays including Mother’s Day as well as Thanksgiving and Christmas. I tend to feel lonely and wish I had more family on those holidays.

2. Plan ways you can show extra love and attention to others during this time.

I can reach out to family members and show that I care about them and their life struggles. I’m thinking especially about nieces and nephews as well as two siblings who don’t have children.

3. Notice how it changes your desire to eat in order to cope. Record your response.

After years of struggles with eating on Mother’s Day, I finally learned how to make it a day of reaching out and caring for others. Along with healing from my grief of losing my babies, I’ve been able to manage the day without overeating.
