Possible Buried Beliefs

  • “I need protection.”
  • “My body is safer when it is larger.”
  • “Food is the only thing that comforts me.”
  • “If I lose weight, I will be seen.”
  • “If I am seen, I may be judged, desired, harmed, or rejected.”
  • “If I change, I may lose my identity.”

Healing Notes

Shame loosens in the presence of being seen and not rejected. Naming it out loud is often the first crack of light.
