Emotional Eating Details....
We eat when we're happy and
celebrating; we eat when we're lonely; we eat when we're bored. And,
above all, we eat when we're upset. When our whole world seems to spin
out of control, food remains the only object that can seem to keep us
anchored and stable. We reach to it for comfort, for re-assurance, for
love. And we remain blind to the fact that our affection for it allows
it to exert control over us. Over the next few months, as
reorganization plans are implemented and the winds of change sweep
through the offices of management and the cubicles of worker bees, we
will reach out, over and over, for the comfort of eating to steady our
stomachs and soothe our nerves.
Corporate downsizing - just
another weapon to make us fat!
Does the pressure never stop?
Perhaps when we're dead, there is no longer any compulsion to eat - or
maybe we are destined to go into our graves as a starving corpse who
tries desperately to communicate with the living about the overwhelming
urge to eat.
