@nataliecarterthrives: Overeating can feel really good and for a short term solution it helps .. If you’re using food to cope, to feel safe, or to escape you can’t just rip that away and expect everything to be fine. You have to understand what it’s been giving you… and find other ways to meet those needs. If it’s comfort → wrap yourself in a blanket, put on calming music, do a guided meditation, call a good friend. If it’s stress relief → step outside, do breathwork, sing really loud, shake out your body, journal for 5 minutes. If it’s connection → send a voice note, join a group chat, call someone you love. If it’s numbing out → change your environment, listen to a podcast, watch a light TV episode. Play a game on your phone.. The goal isn’t to never eat for comfort again it’s to have other tools so food isn’t your only one. That’s when you start feeling in control… for the long term. #nataliecarterthrives #itsneveraboutfood #emotionaleating
