When you eat too much,
what hole are you trying to fill?
How else could you fill it?

i know the answer to this one for me. it is the hole right under my nose! no, really. i think whenever i overeat, it is because stress leaves me feeling nervous, and flighty. i unconsciously crave to quell that feeling in the pit of my stomach, and being overly full then gives my mind and body something else to concentrate on besides what i am stressing about. that or it is magic cookie bars on the stove and i just want to eat them because they're really good.
Today I ate too much. And I really had to think about why it was that I did it. I came in to work with a full tummy, feeling sleepy, wanting to just lay in the sun and sleep. But suddenly in front of me were 2 huge boxes of donuts. So I ate one. It wasn't very good, so I ate another one, presumeably to compensate for the not very good first one. It wasn't very good either and then I had a stomach ache. I wondered why did I do that?
And I think that the answer was that I wanted to be a "part of" the group. I wanted to feel connected with the other people who were eating the donuts... so I think that hole I was filling was a feeling of not being part of the whole. And I would have done better eating the "hole" in the center of the donuts rather than the donuts themselves.
Most of the time, the hole I am filling is the unfillable hole inside me that says I am not enough, or I don't have enough... of what - varies from day to day - hour to hour. Certainly today I didn't think I had enough sweetness and companionship.. enough comraderie... I'm not at all sure why I thought that I had to EAT the donuts in order to feel part of and connected with the group of people eating them...
Interesting....
Im actually wanting to lose a lot of weight for the beaches so my plan is to stock up with bananas, grapes and other fruits when I get the munchies..actually good food is great for that depressed hypoglycemic feeling!
