Great post Julene, I’ve experienced this in various ways recently. Being with my family reignited quite a few emotional triggers. On the drive home from the airport and even at home after I binged. My family is tricky and maybe I had to move away in order to lose the weight.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Family dynamics can stir up so much more than we expect, especially when old patterns or emotional triggers come back around. It sounds like your body and heart were trying to process a lot all at once, and reaching for food was just one way of coping in the moment.
Even though it hurts, becoming aware of the connection between those emotional moments and the binge is a huge step forward. That kind of insight is powerful. The fact that you noticed what happened and are reflecting on it with honesty means you're already creating more space for healing.
You're not alone in this. So many of us have been there, and it truly takes courage to look at it with compassion instead of shame. You're doing the work, even in moments that feel messy. Keep being gentle with yourself—you’re learning, growing, and healing with each step.
