I had to sever ties with my toxic family and I don't hardly get out at all. Once a week is what I can manage. I blog routinely to face what bothers me and that helps, but there are needs I have that I struggle to get. I will not give up on getting those met but in the meanwhile, I overeat.

Who else does this?
Yes, I can relate. I self medicate with food. to compensate for lack of self love. So for me it's about meeting my own needs of self love and acceptance. But I do better with food when I do not leave my home. I succumb to temptations out there in the world.
