Guest guest Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Eating in evening times has long been a point of concern with me. I am not as plagued with it now as I was bothered by it when I began, but it has continued to pester at me, especially when I know that I am NOT hungry. Yet it seems that I can't sit down and enjoy our evening entertainment without 'enhancing' that pleasure with a 'treat'. I've often asked myself " What is it you really want? " (instead of the food I am eating). I've danced around the edges of this issue with realizations such as 1) past associations - TV time was always snack time in my family and 2) food = pleasure etc. All true, but none really satisfying for an answer This morning a thought popped into my head that rings true for me - eating in the evening is an 'indulgence',and a reminder that I merit good things for me. As long as I fight that meriting, I am also fighting my deep need to be appreciated, even/especially by myself.
