Posted by Lyndia on 1/12/2007, 7:42 am, in reply to "Re: breaking destructive habits" I have vowed to try to have a "Beginner's Mind" about it all. I will probably always have compulsion around food, the comfort of it, the power it has to cover feelings.....Every day the idea is start with the focus on ...what am I feeling? What am I feeling before I eat, after I eat etc. The ideal it to more and more get to an awareness of the core feelings, however negative, and use the meditation and clearing techniques.

Yes, I definately CAN relate, especially to the part about having it go on for years, despite years of good, positive intentions. Also, despite even doing quite a bit of work with John Ruskan's techniques. I think there needs to be a real commitment to working on things and not getting too shameful if they haven't 'completely healed. Food addictions are very subtle, and in my mind even hard to tackle than healing from drugs or alcohol addictions.
