Triumphant
Journey:
A Cyberguide To Stop Overeating and
Recover from Eating Disorders
If you overeat or binge, you may in your past have
experienced something you could not bear to feel or know. Overeating puts a
great, numbing shield between you and your awareness of yourself. It is part of
an effective system many people develop in order to not fully know their
history.
That history may involve events that happened to you,
events you witnessed, events you heard about. That history may involve
bewildering and powerful emotional experiences you had in the past but did not
have the strength or maturity to understand or tolerate. Overeating protects
you from knowledge about yourself.
No one can end an effective protective system unless they
know they do not need that protection any longer. If the threatening sense of
danger you have is a secret from yourself, you have no way to evaluate your
safety. Without knowledge of your inner life, you can't know when you are out
of danger so you will continue to use your protective system, overeating.
Once you know your secrets, you begin to learn that you
are able to live with the knowledge. You can strengthen yourself through
practice and understanding to live your life with more appreciation for the
experiences you have survived. Then you will have no need for the methods which
keep you numb and oblivious. There lies triumph and freedom.
