Ep. #229: What Are You Really Craving?

What are you really craving?

I used food to comfort myself, to soothe myself, and as a filler.

It was just a cheap substitute.

Maybe you’re craving love and acceptance.

You may seek this from others, but you need this from yourself.

What are you really craving?

Ask yourself this question, but don’t be afraid of the answer.

Once you know the answer, then you can decide what to do.

If you’re not sure and not sure what to do about it, listen to today’s episode of the podcast.

≫[7:18] If you don’t have acceptance and love and forgiveness and trust and respect for yourself, how can you expect anyone else to give it to you?
