When morning arrives, it will bring with it the day I am moving into an apartment, on my own, apart from my husband. This marks the first concrete step of uncoupling, although one might argue that we are already uncoupled. The emotions involved in this are overwhelming, and my eating continues to be excessive, emotional, binge-y, and shame-provoking. However, my hope is that my new start will help quiet some of the "chatter" so I can find myself under all this garbage.
I have been doing some reading about the role of certain neurotransmitters in binge eating behaviors and how their deficiency can cause cravings for sweet and carb-y or salty and fatty foods. I am also reading about ways we can help alleviate those deficiencies through the consumption of healthy foods and the practice of healthy behaviors. It's an intriguing principle that makes sense on paper. I will have to see how it translates to real life.
