"I'm lucky I live near Whole Foods... so if I'm hungry, I can walk in there and grab something yummy...." — Karen Salmansohn

I feared vulnerability more than my actual emotional pain itself!

All my life, my immediate response to emotional pain has been to make jokes. Lots of jokes.

Chances are you're using overeating as a way to escape yourself. It's an attempt not to feel or think about what you really need to feel and face.

The more you stay with and/or complain about a toxic person, the more you're merely delaying doing the important inner work you need to do - to heal your wounds, expand your limiting beliefs, and show yourself far more love and respect.
