GETTING TO THE ROOT OF YOUR EMOTIONAL EATING - Some narcissists starve us physically and emotionally. Physical and emotional neglect trigger me to eat emotionally.

PHYSICAL NEGLECT - Growing up my family didn't consistently buy groceries or cook at all. So, when they did get groceries I would try to eat everything I could because I did not know when they would get groceries again.
EMOTIONAL NEGLECT - As a child and teenager I was left alone a lot and I craved a deeper emotional connection with my parents and others. As a result of emotional neglect and isolation I used food to fill the hole in me that human and parental connection should have filled.
SOLUTION- I believe that whatever I feel I need to get from someone else I have the ability to give myself. That being said, If I am triggered by physical or emotional neglect I know I need to give myself more me time and self love. I also need to force myself to connect with others even if it is just reaching out to someone on facebook. I also try to deepen my spiritual practice because when I do this I don't think about eating or cravings as much.
AFFIRMATION - I am filled with love and peace and I confidently connect with others.
