What's ruffled you?


I'm one of those "emotional" eaters.  I'm also a seasoned professional in the art of "denial."  So you can guess that when I find myself eating all the things I know I should not... all the things that I think will bring me "comfort."  Then I know it is really that something has me ruffled.  How about you, are you similar to me in this. 

It may take me a day or two, but I always have to come to the point where I sit down and face myself with enough personal integrity to ask the question .. what has me feeling the compulsion to comfort myself.  WHAT is the feeling I want to end up with .. because the truth of the matter is .. food is NEVER going to get me that emotion at a lasting level.  And then the final question ..what can I do to get myself to that emotion and have it last beyond the moment when I swallow.

So how about you .. what will get you to that emotion you are seeking?
