The problem of emotional overeating, explored in the Heal Overeating: Untangled support program, often comes down to whether we’re really willing to look at and sit with our pain. I have an audio blog to share about this and how it’s manifested in my life this year:
As things fall apart, I realized how many of my behaviors towards my body were really intertwined with a lot of anxiety and control. What happens when you stop running from pain, and really sit with it…

Thanks for that, touched my heart in some places – yes I do need to face my feelings and not run from them like I have been doing, thinking they shouldn’t be there or that if I ignore them they will just go away….
Been struggling with food cravings, stomach pains/cramps, nausea, abdominal discomfort and genual anxiety over food for years…I try to eat only healthy foods but then feel compelled to eat other stuff cos I feel empty or bored or needy inside…
its an ongoing journey, and one I hope that I can heal sooner or later. hopefully this website will be a part of that healing…
thanks a lot, will write more soon, feels good to know theres other like me…
many blessings

Thank you for your beautifully inspiring words. The freedom that comes from hearing (and quietly saying to myself), that in this moment I am enough and nothing -not my food issues or body image concerns- needs fixing in order for me to experience unconditional love, is worth the pain I’ve been feeling of late. Thank you and please know that your work is a blessing to so many.
Karly, once again you found the right words to describe my / our pains and experiences with pain. I have been trying to sit with my pains too for a few months now, what a change in my life ! what a change in my behavior and thoughts, no matter how painful it is, it’s really worth the practice ! And I say “practice” because it changes all the time, sometimes it’s good sometimes it’s bad, but it’s okay ! Please go on !
Karly, It is so great to hear your soothing voice. I am so grateful for your authenticity! It helps so many people to evolve because of your bravery to share the Truth. I have been doing the same with a breath work teacher. It is a beautiful thing to remember we are All not alone. Many Blessings.
