Dear comrades, recently I have been stuck in interpersonal conflict in my political life. This has made one of my main avenues for empowerment and dealing with the weight of the world less effective. As a consequence, I have had recurring urges to overeat. It has negatively impacted my health and energy beyond the general lethargy of mild depression.
Does anyone have any strategies or advice for compassionately handling these impulses? My wallet and body will surely thank you.
Taking a look at hyperpalatable food products this month. 62% of food products in the U.S. meet the criteria for hyperpalatability which is when the food has a high enough concentration of salt, sugar and/or carbs to override the fullness response and reinforce binge eating.
I’ve finished a half assed day 1 of avoiding them and have nothing to report.

I watched a Hank Green video on this recently
Could you share it?
