Someone Inside Me Always Wants To Eat. Causes Of Unconscious Overeating

Friends, I once wrote a series of articles on the topic of overeating, with the physiological and psychological reasons for overeating in mind. Impulsive, compulsive overeating, and so on

Now I will talk about the reasons that lie in the area of our unconscious. In the area of the shadow, if we take the personality structure according to K. G. Jung. What is the difference? It seems to me that the "well-known", classified reasons for excess weight, such as "maintaining virginity", "the desire not to be attractive to men", "seizing problems" and others, belong to the field of the collective unconscious, or do not fully explain the situation … Describe the symptoms, but leave the root cause behind the scenes. Maybe that's why, even realizing your style of overeating (say, compulsive), it is quite difficult to get rid of this "bad" habit

The general "rules" for weight loss are well known. More precisely, one rule. You need to spend more calories than you consume. Elementary. The problem is like about two pipes in a pool. One, and a big "BUT". How hard it is to reduce the volume and calorie content of food! Only dieters are aware of the gnawing pangs of hunger and withdrawal due to changes in hormonal levels. No harmony is needed anymore, let me devour and fuck off! Is that so?

It is equally well known that sharp weight loss is achieved through dehydration and wasting muscle tissue. But the ghost of a chiseled slender figure is so attractive that the girl thinks that it will be easier to keep the weight than to lose it. Here, to gain harmony, and there at least the grass does not grow!

By losing the muscles that burn calories, it will become very difficult to lose weight in the future. Once you remove the fat burning machine, how do you process it later? Exaggerated, having received "fat on bones", how do you "burn" it? Yet execution speed wins. It is justified by a burning desire to get rid of the problem, and quickly.

When everything returns to the usual frames of clothes of large sizes, the girls look with envy at slender one-year-olds, complaining that their pasta probably lies lengthwise in the stomach, while the poor thing's - across. And the bone is wide. And genes.

Considering the "genes" not only in the physiological plane of the information encoded in them, but bearing in mind that this information can also be psychological, one can make a number of discoveries of the reasons for one's own completeness.

C. G. Jung speaks of an ancestral complex, implying that the genetic memory of the genus is present in each of us. Now such evidence is being obtained by genetics who have just approached the threshold of the mystery of the human genope. After all, most of the secret is kept by the "sleeping", "silent" genes. It is not a fact that they will "speak" to us personally

However, I will refer to R. Bach: "Do you really think that someone outside your body will show you how to live?"

Making a conscious dive into the realm of your unconscious requires a certain amount of courage. The prize for this may be an understanding of the structure of the ancestral complex about personal relationships with food. Even a simple understanding and knowledge of a kind of history can shed light on the reasons for completeness.

Quite a common reason is the desire to stay in a full body, so as not to provoke men to make acquaintances, not to "seduce" them. Personally, this reason seems far-fetched to me, since the standards of beauty are changing, and Twiggy girls became popular only a hundred years ago. Before that, curvaceous forms were held in high esteem. Let us recall Rubens with his puffy matrons, Spanish women who put pillows under their dresses to look pregnant, Russian sundresses that allow the body to fill the entire volume of a fluffy skirt starting from the armpits.

Full figures were considered beautiful. They were perceived as evidence of wealth and health. Yes, and in our time, I know several burly laughter, who are not embarrassed by their weight, they are successfully married, and have such elegance and self-confidence that they will be envied by their eternally losing weight aunts. “Better to swing on the waves than to beat on the rocks” - this is their slogan, shared by their husbands. Their completeness is not annoying. They live in harmony with themselves and the world. But what if completeness is "not to your face"?

Perhaps everything annoys you at all. You are pissed off by unceremonious people who claim your time, your care, and so on. You are so tired, spinning, you feel like a cash cow or a sow, which everyone pulls on all the nipples. “If you are pulled, then there is something for that,” - said the Cow in the words of one humorist. The only outlet is that in the evening to have a tea with a candy…. and do not notice how she crumpled half of the refrigerator with a bite.

It's time to think about your own personality boundaries. Psychologically, you can't hold it, so the body will help you. It becomes more and more, it is the body that surrounds you with an impenetrable shield. The more everyone "gets" you, the wider the waist. Protection. Here's how to lose weight? He is needed! Until the psychological boundaries are "locked". First, you should learn to say "no" not to candy, but to those who pull and invade your life without your permission.

Here are some sketches from the personal unconscious of people who ventured on this journey. Someone in a dream, and someone in reality. Their experience can be useful for someone. I described one such experience in the article “Fat. Inside view. " It says that in the human body, every insult is "overgrown" with fat, as if conserved. And as soon as the process of burning this fat began, the grievances were "unpacked", and the emotional background went into such a deep minus that it was easier to leave everything as it is. And here are other stories for your attention.

A girl on a strict diet dreamed of wolves. With burning eyes. Bared teeth and growling. The girl did not feel any spiritual connection with the wolves, she fled. But, not "with wolves", as the author of the famous book. She was terrified to the last degree. I woke up from my own scream.

Dream animals usually embody the instinctive realm of the personality. It is worth "listening" to what they "say" or give you in a dream. However, the girl ran away all the time, with animal fear. Her deliberate conclusions were: wolf hunger. She always experiences a wolfish hunger. And he can only think about food, even in a dream.

And in reality later, she recalled that her great-great-great … rather old relative, who died in her childhood, was not telling her a fairy tale, but a story. About hunger. About several periods of hunger that she went through. About how on a sleigh from town to village, through the forest, they carried "good" to exchange for food. And like wolves were chasing them through the winter forest on the way back. With burning eyes. With fangs. How scary it was.

The girl remembered how her great-great-grandmother felt about food. With what trepidation, considering it the main treasure, recaptured from the wolves. I remembered myself as a student, when "hungry students" without looking back bought ink and lipstick, denying themselves delicacies, being content with bread and jam. Traced that now she does not act like that, on the contrary, that “quivering” feeling appeared to the food, just like ….. well, you know. It is easier to work with a problem brought to the level of understanding. Factor of. Do you agree?

Another plot. A man who has "lost" his roots. This is how it happens, he does not know a single family grave. All relatives are either alive, and those who are not, the graves are unknown. In his immersion, he sees fragments of the ritual. Finds out on the Internet what it looks like. It seems to him that he found the answer, since in India to this day there is a ritual of "feeding the ancestors." He's going to go there. In February. He began to lose weight already in January.

The girl eats a lot, for future use, and only when no one sees her. When she's alone. She cannot eat at the festive table, she says that “a piece does not go down my throat, I don’t want to”. And does not experience the pangs of hunger. He has fun, treats guests, but when they see them off…. this is where gluttony begins.

When the husband is at home or the children, she feeds them. But he can only sit with them and eat later. Itself. One. So that no one can see. There were no dreams or immersion here. A possible cause, if looked at in genetic memory, may sound trite. The food cult of our ancestors, who consider eating the most intimate affair. No one should see a person eating. Especially how the leader of the tribe is. Sacred action.

The girl's overeating is possible because she does not know exactly when she will be alone. Most often, loneliness occurs at night when the household is asleep. Therefore, it "comes off" in full at night. Which, of course, is harmful to the body.

As you can see, there are several paths to your unconscious. The method of active imagination is not shown to everyone, and moral confrontation with characters is often overlooked when immersed. Therefore, advice for those who want to get closer to solving their own relationship with food, as well as with the body, draw them. Go sculpt. Well, or "listen" to your dreams.
