Name your triggers... Part 1

I decided to do something nice for me and my hangover today and got a body massage right now. Now my skin smells like the delicious coconut oil the masseuse used, and my body feels relaxed and soft, just like my mind.

During the massage, I considered that I most probably have several triggers for my emotional binge eating and drinking. Some of them already plopped up in my mind:

At the moment, I'm facing some serious issues with my mom, which is devastating for me because we are really really close. We never had any disputes like that, and I'm torturing my mind permanently for the reasons. So, I must admit, currently my mom is a big trigger for me. That sounds horrible, huh?! She can nothing for that! But when I am with her, talking to her, I feel a need for food. A BIG need. Just realized that. Good to know. Next time I may be more aware of that...

Boredom is also a big big trigger for me. I'm often bored at work, just want to get hooooome....So I start feeling a need for FOOOOOOOD! Next time I'm at the office feeling like that AND have access to a computer, I will log on here instead. Sounds like a good idea :)

My inner self always feels restless. I always feel that no matter where I am now and what I do now, I want to be somewhere else and do something else. The neeeed for foooood always plops up in these situations.

Well. That's it for now. But maybe even these few named triggers may help me next time.
