I understand the connection between food and the emotions! My entire 90lbs overweight came from emotional eating, problem is whole family is like that! Stop while you’re ahead.

It makes sense. I never put two and two together, but I do the same. Sad or happy, I like to indulge in food. Interesting…

Definitely food for thought (ha! excuse the pun)

We’ve talked a lot about the connection between food and emotions and I’m only just now really getting it. I mean, REALLY getting it. It’s crazy, right? Everything about our food effects how we react to things but how we react to things effects what we eat.

If you can get in the good spin cycle, you’ll go for a long ride. The good one. Keep up the good work!

Haley, This is good and big and important stuff. Excellent.

I’ve been thinking/writing along these lines, realizing lately that I resist EXCITEMENT and often mistake it for anxiety. (Because as Ravi Singh says, Anxiety is Excitement WITHOUT THE BREATH.)

I’ve been thinking, also, about how the whole yoga/spirituality community puts such a price on CALM and PEACE that I fear many of us are repressing our BIG EMOTIONS — yes, even the good ones — because they aren’t perceived as “spiritual.” Does that make sense?

Geez, girlfriend, that’s awesome. Congrats on the epiphany! So happy for you.

Love this post — it made me understand why I felt generally dissatisfied after my caramel macchiato the other day. I’m usually happy afterward when I “wanted” to get one — the other day, I “needed” to get one and obviously it didn’t satisfy the need.
I’m going through a cleanse too, and man, it’s rough.
