On pages 18-22 there are quite a few stories of a few ladies and how their past experiences had shaped their current view of themselves and their views of food and overeating. In the margin of my TA book I wrote down each experience of these ladies and what caused them to turn to food.
Here they are as I see them with a few others of my own that I have added. All of these are reasons that I, too, have turned to food for comfort.
Lack of Control of a situation
Didn't meet expectations of others
Didn't feel accepted
Didn't feel worthy in the eyes of others
Felt rejected by others
Anger
Belittled
Guilt of past sin
Guilt of present sin
Sorrow
Frustration
Pain
Shame
Not able to express my feelings
Feeling flawed
Habit- after a while, familliarity and habit kicks in and no 'reason' is really needed.
