Fantastic, you’ve got a way with words. I think there is an overlap here with the wailing woman talk worth highlighting: I’ve never engaged in this behavior when there’s a strong masculine energy in my life. In fact, such an ‘environmental control’ will almost guarantee that my overeating episodes are contained. Anything else would feel disrespectful to him. Maybe this isn’t such an easy fix (though I’m taking applications for strong men!) but it speaks to the evolutionary mismatch of living so much of life alone as an independent woman. It also ties into why eating disorder treatments involve eating with people.
