I've been reading up on how important it is to be aware of emotions and bodily sensations. Just observing them helps when you're wanting to eat to soothe yourself:
1. What emotions are you feeling? 2. What do you feel in your body? Here's how I am doing: I feel scared. I'm afraid I'll be in pain all day. Physically, I feel tension in my neck. I feel really thirsty. I'm neglecting self-care. __________________ ‘Live for now,’ ‘This too shall pass,’ ‘Everything is happening for my good.’ |

I've been learning about mindfulness. So I'm hoping that by paying more attention to how I feel helps me. And I try to eat mindfully. It's not always easy. __________________ ‘Live for now,’ ‘This too shall pass,’ ‘Everything is happening for my good.’ |

I have read not only in the Emotional Eating book but also in CBT that it's important to get into a habit of identifying emotions. It's a starting point. Mindfulness is important. Sometimes we don't know why we feel a certain way. Observing the emotion and giving space to it opens the doors to healing. I may not know why I want to hang on to excess body weight, but my recovery is happening in the hear and now.

Yes, identifying our emotions was the start for me but I took it one step farther in my therapy & said this is why I am feeling those emotions & at that point I went back to emotions from the past & that shined a light on the crap I dealt with all my life. Yes, some issues aren't as easy as that but it does all tie together __________________ Leo's favorite place was in the passenger seat of my truck. We went everywhere together like this.

Today I've felt anxious most of the day. It's just been a busy day. Physically, I have tension in my neck and shoulders. I also have a headache. The middle of my back is bothering me too. I think it's just stress. I feel sad and lonely as well. Now is about the time I want creamy grits or chicken noodle soup. But I'm not hungry. I just want comfort food. Maybe I can try a decaf chai tea. I hear teas are good for when you're stressed.

I started Klonopin so I've been less anxious. I have a more relaxed frame. I'm glad. I feel calm at the moment. My upper back hurts though, but I've been doing work. I feel a little sad because of some relationship issues. I hope they work out soon. Yesterday was difficult. I had a stress test and felt ill most of the day. I order McDonald's. That's my go-to comfort food.

My “ED” is in relation to my gender dysphoria disorder. There’s a connection between the 2. Things got worse after my top surgery and I’ve heard it’s common for trans men to develop eating disorders after their surgery when their biggest source of dysphoria was their chest. But Sometimes I’m just too frigging drained of energy physically and mentally to eat. Then I also get into weird food patterns because of my autism. So I can only eat like 3 or 4 kinds of food at one time. I’ve been obsessed with eating eggs, with eating yogurt, bananas, oatmeal, etc before. Currently it’s Goldfish crackers, ramen, Sonics plain ice cream, and every once in awhile pizza. Also regular soda suddenly tastes bad to me now so I’m only drinking zero and diet.
