Thank you so much for all your kind words last week about Baron. You truly touched my heart!
So, now I have my sadness about Baron and I have the extra weight.
Why?
Because I didn’t want to feel the incredible sadness that I felt on a daily basis.
The result of that was that I ate food when I wasn’t hungry and tried to numb the feelings.
So, now I’m stuck with extra weight and the sadness.
What’s a smart woman like me suppose to do??
The only sane thing… continue to FEEL what I’m feeling.
How does that look?
Well, I come into my house after a long day. I walk into my kitchen.
There’s no dog to greet me.
I WAS tired. Now I’m tired and sad.
I see the refrigerator staring me down. I walk over to it and I open its doors. (I must say, it feels like the refrigerator opens up itself and invites me in:))
I look inside and then I stop.
I ask myself a simple question…
Am I hungry?
The answer is no.
I ask myself what do I really need?
My first response… I want my dog.
But he’s gone and I realize my terrible sadness again.
So, I take my tired self and my sad feelings into the bedroom and lie down.
I FEEL my sadness. I cry. It hurts, I’m not gonna lie.
I take a 20 minute meditation.
When my meditation ends, I realize I feel better. I’m not tired any more and the pain has subsided.
I smile, and realize that I just gave myself the gift of my undivided time and attention. I realize what a good friend I’ve been to ME!
Here’s my advice to you… the next time you go wandering around the kitchen looking for food.
Ask yourself if you’re hungry… if you’re not… be gentle and ask yourself…
What do I want?
What do I feel?
Are you willing to sit with that feeling and just feel it instead of eat it??
