There's some wisdom in every specific thing we do to cope. I notice that some of the time that I overeat, it's because I'm actually tired and trying to energize myself. It would be better if I took a nap rather than tried to power through whatever I think I have to do. I have also noticed that if someone mentions something about my body, even as innocuous as "you look strong, like you've been working out" or I think that someone is looking, just a glance, at my body, I have a strong desire to go eat my way through the refrigerator. As a cover up for my feelings about others looking at me.

So what is the cutting helping you with? Where's the wisdom in the cutting? Can you appreciate the wisdom in the cutting, because that might help you figure a way out?
