Numbing emotions with food...was Bored with raw

[Guest guest]

And you did take it one step farther. I've been realizing this more

and more. Since coming back from the weekend of dying relatives, I

haven't been eating so well. I'm acutely aware that I'm covering up

some feelings and numbing my emotions, as it were. I think tomorrow

will be a better day.

 

Thanks, Elchanan!

I'd take this even one step farther ... the word " want " originally

means " lack " , as " We want for nothing. " So want = crave (only at a

lower level of intensity that what we typically call a " craving " ) ==>

there is some unmet need ... and it is not for food!!!

[Raw Food] Re: Bored with raw It seems there needs to be a distinction

between " need " and " want " . I don't need to use any recipes. I get

through many days quite fine without them. Occasionally, I want to

use a recipe. For instance, there's a recipe for wrapping a banana in

mixed dates and wrapping it in a lettuce leaf. Or, I use a recipe to

figure out the ratio of mango to red pepper blended in a VitaMix for a

salad dressing. I love using my VitaMix, want to use my VitaMix, but

don't need to use it.
