Myth;
"Food is love" Food is a metaphor for love to many people..
Our bodies require love through appropriate touch, our soul through meaningful communication.
When these needs have not been met we often turn to food to fill us.. The root cause of all addictions is the body's need for attention. Food feels good to the body. The body will begin to believe food is love and continually seek it out to get the feeling of sweetness and fullness that the energy of real love gives us when it is open and flowing in our being.

As we become more self-aware, we must reach out for meaningful connection rather than turning to substitutes. Using our words of affirmation, physical affection to show our attachment, practicing good boundaries to take responsibility for our thoughts and feelings.

Re: SELF-CARE TIPS; We each need Attention
I just eat when I am upset or feeling bad about myself, then I feel worse. Are there any books to help?
