“I just want people to hear me and my story”
As an evolving Noom nerd, I’m in the weeds of unpacking my emotion driven food habits. My past attempts in making dietary changes has been to ignore the impulses my inner elephant; cloister that annoying mammoth. My steely motivation only went so far. The fact is that my inner elephant, just like Glenn Close, will not be ignored. Cue Madame Butterfly……This impetuous little tusker will always part of me and I am gradually beginning to make friends with my them…..
My elephant’s story includes not wanting to feel powerless, excluded, or anxious. Mindlessly shoveling tortilla chips however tasty has helped to numb out these unpleasant emotions.
It hasn’t been easy to isolate these challenging feelings. And they aren’t going anywhere. But as Noom guides me to expose myself to these unpleasant feelings, it is becoming less overwhelming when I inevitably face emotional triggers.
