Buried Belief
- “I must punish myself back into control.”
- “If I restrict hard enough, I can fix myself.”
- “If I fail once, I failed completely.”
- “I am either perfect or out of control.”
- “I cannot trust balance.”
- “I must start over again.”

Next Step
Ask, "Where am I turning food into punishment, reward, rebellion, or proof of worth?"
