When rage and anger goes unexpressed, it turns inward and becomes depression. What&#8217;s important is to learn how to be in touch with your feelings so that you can recognize anger when it occurs. Perhaps someone cut you off when you were driving, or someone at a store said something rude or insensitive, or your boss upset you. Lots of women internalize that and believe that if someone said something mean or rude or insensitive to them, that they probably deserved it. But the truth is, no one should ever treat you with unkindness or disrespect, even if you mess up.\u00a0 If they do, it is a character flaw within them.\u00a0 In my opinion, being kind, being compassionate and holding yourself in integrity will get you far in life. And everyone deserves to be treated with kindness unless proven otherwise. When someone treats your poorly, it&#8217;s their fault, not yours.\u00a0 When a binge eater is mistreated, rather than either standing up for him or herself or processing her anger, she will eat over it. It&#8217;s ironic. Someone hurt you and your response is to hurt yourself. When you begin to choose recovery, you will notice that your feelings are more apparent to you. When someone makes you angry, either talk to them about it (if it&#8217;s safe). If it&#8217;s not safe, write an angry letter and put it in a bottle and send it out to sea. Don&#8217;t let that anger fester inside of you to hurt you. Don&#8217;t stuff it down, get it out. You can talk to a close friend about it, you can punch a pillow, you and put on heavy boots and clomp up a hill.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not easy to recognize when your default has always been to eat as soon as you even begin to feel anger, but if you can stop yourself and ask, &#8220;what am I feeling?&#8221; you might find that you are able to save yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a theory that many people binge on crunchy food, such as cereal or chips when they are trying to process unconscious anger.\u00a0 Anger is a\u00a0 challenging feeling for many women to feel.
