UA: That’s no fun
TH: But, I’m so unhappy
EB: I eat to cover up that unhappiness
SE: I eat to feel in control
UE: But it’s not working like it used to
UN: It never really worked if I’m honest with myself
CH: It’s just a lie I tell myself
CB: Then I hate myself more
UA: It’s just too much to deal with---all these emotions
TH: All these feelings
EB: Don’t take my food away

Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth- ahhhh

When the urge comes back tap on the UE and say: “I honor and acknowledge my feelings and will use them to show me the way out---even if it’s only for 15 minutes this time ----I will build on my successes until I am on the other side.”
