Reading / watching time: 19 mins I recently received this heart-opening question from a sensitive woman in recovery from binge eating - and I know she’s not alone. She asked… “I want to find love but have been holding myself back because of fear of rejection as my body is larger than I’d like it to be. The way you talk about being a highly sensitive person really resonates and can see how I use food for comfort and also as a buffer to protect me from other people and situations. I’ve also tried so many times to lose weight but I know now it just makes my binge eating worse, and I’m now heavier than ever. I’ve got to the point where I don’t want to wait any longer for love, but I’m scared that I’ll like a guy but he’ll be put off by my body or I’ll have to tell a potential boyfriend about my binge eating and again, that will put him off. Any advice?” So in this video, I explore what it means to open yourself up to love when your relationship with your body feels complicated. Whether you’ve struggled with binge eating, body image, or the fear that you have to “fix yourself” before being loved, I hope this supports you deeply.
