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.
I recently read that hunger pangs can be relieved by drinking water. I’ve been hydrating when i get late night cravings before bed and I guess it’s helped a little.
Hope you feel better soon though, doesn’t sound fun.
