Emotional Eating-Can I Tackle It?

A lot of women will be able to relate right away. A couple of men probably as well.

You finally manage to lose your weight, you’re super proud of yourself, happy, able to fit in those great dresses.

And then something changes. You get a new job with a boss who is an ass. Or you start a new relationship which is great but stressful as well because his ex is in the background and he’s worried about his kids and if you’re a high empath like me, you take the vibrations of others onto yourself and you simply can’t help it.

All of the above was the case plus I have a very old programming from my childhood, where I felt trapped but had these rare moments of freedom when my mother was focused on something else or had a couple of good moments because the economy wasn’t so hard and we had just a bit more money and she could afford to get me some furniture for my room.

To this day I keep claiming I want freedom, a freelance job where I would be on the go (not the stupid office job), but I’m still in the office job and have put myself in another ‘cage’, my relationship with my husband and his kids, which are all really amazing, but taking on the financial responsibility for them all put me back into the office job for longer than I wanted and for another 6 years I couldn’t escape it.
