Contemplative JennI should change my tagline to "Jenn is grazing again"
This has not been a good couple of weeks for control of this compulsion. The irony is that the stress has not been mine directly, but the stress of others that I have taken on myself (one problem with my empathic personality type). I need to create my own emotional space, guard my own well-being. I also need to establish healthy alternatives to my current behavior, and internalize those alternatives so that they become as automatic as the unhealthy one. An exercise compulsion, for example, would be a nice change, and might undo a bit of the damage! ;) Obviously, though, the real problem is not the behavior at all, but the compulsive nature of it. 5 years ago
