The Link Between Clutter and Weight Continued
Continuing with the theme of excess weight or body clutter… I recently read the book Body Clutter: love your body, love yourself (Fireside 2005) by authors Marla Cilley and Leanne Ely.
Are you cluttering your body with food? Many times we use food to comfort us instead of dealing with the pain or emotion we are experiencing.
All of us have foods that trigger some type of past experience for us. What food can’t you get enough of?
The book suggests that you keep a “Body Clutter Control Journal” where you write answers to questions or assignments they propose. They suggest that you “just write hard and fast”. So here is an assignment to write in your journal:
Write down your first memory of using food to comfort yourself and describe what was happening to you and how you felt at that time.
