Yes, I can relate. The idea of self destruction is fascinating. On the surface, it makes no sense. But I have learned that, for example, if we don't have anything, then there is nothing to lose and no way to be hurt. If I have experienced pain in the past, from for example a loss, then part of me is compelled to avoid loss because of the painful experience. Subconsciously we will avoid those things that we fear losing. Make any sense? I hope this helps with your eating. It helps me to try to articulate the issue. So I might suggest that it is not self hatred, but fear that keeps you from being vibrant. You may be afraid of being attacked for being vibrant, or afraid of the resistence that vibrancy will encounter out in the world. Your eating is a safe, known place to go to avoid the excitement (insert fear here) of being vibrant. There is an aspect of courage at work here. Courage to be vibrant and experience fully the resistance and the pain of criticism and yet to still remain vibrant. This experience of walking through the resistance and fear can acutally feed your confidence and help you remain grounded in yourself despite the swirling seas around you.
