It isn't easy to take a step back and feel like you're doing "nothing," especially when you're struggling in your relationship with food. But the truth is, doing nothing doesn't mean you're not trying—it simply means you're not spending your energy on things you can't control.
The best thing you can do when your thoughts overwhelm you and you feel like you're in the midst of a storm is to drop an anchor. Hold that space. Practice acknowledging the storm without interacting with it. Take care of yourself and allow the storm to pass.
