My "thing" is eating out of boredom...to push down anger... to celebrate (and moderate) excitement...

I "discovered" eating to push down feelings while watching a Harrison Ford movie, The Witness, I think it was called... the one with the little kid? We were watching the movie on the VCR, and it was getting very intense. I grabbed the remote, paused the movie and ran into the kitchen... Mr. Big was wondering just WHERE the heck I was going! I could NOT watch another second without... popcorn.

While it was popping, I realized, the popcorn was to push down the feeling in the pit of my stomach... first time I was able to identify that.

But I still do it. Awarenes, I guess is the first step, eh? Still workig on "acceptance".
