I am bridging the gap between known and unknown parts of myself. As I struggle with compulsive eating patterns, I gradually uncover the reasons behind this behavior. I release the known patterns around food as am willing to explore the depth of my feelings. Taking the focus away from food and my body size allows me to feel the feelings which have been covered up by my preoccupation with something outside myself. I encourage myself to become the risk-taker. Many times I chose safety when I chose to focus on diets, body size or exercise. I feel safer within myself now as I am willing to focus on my feelings and my memories. I erplore my personal potential as I plumb the depths of my spirit.
