Dear Harriette: I think a friend of mine can have a food addiction.
Over the years, I have noticed that it has an unhealthy bond with food. If we are at a dinner, your dish is stacked, or you are hiding a dish to go or eating multiple portion through an event.
I have tried to encourage it to have some self -control, such as having other friends and loved ones, but it doesn’t work.
The other day he continued that he complained about needing food before going to dinner, and I couldn’t take it. I told him to drink some water and stop asking about the food.
That was not fine. She told me she was rude.
I am worried about your eating habits, but I don’t know how to communicate with it.
– Overeater
Dear Overeater: Keep with your friend. Tell him that he did not intend to hurt his feelings when he talked to her about the food, but he must share some comments with her. Get to listen to before processing.
If she can listen to him, explain that she has noticed that Shee seems to have an unhealthy relationship with food, and is worried about her. What you described seems to eat like a safety blanket.
A psychologist can be or help it. Talking to a professional who understands human behavior, especially around food, can provide the support you need to talk about what is happening with it and address any problem you may have.
Know that you can make this recommendation, but she has to believe that she is important and take action herself. If you do not, do your best not to judge it.
Dear Harriette: I am leaving the prison zoon and I am worried about what is coming later.
When I left home, things were a bit difficult with my family. Some people have remained in contact, and others created distance, but I wonder if there is room for reconciliation.
I really regret any difficulty that has caused my family. How can my family and I heal and advance?
– Return home
Dear Coming Home: Take things one day at the same time.
Prepare for success, making sure you have a place to live. If you have a probation officer or other representative of the law with which you need to connect, order that immediately.
Next, contact family members who support the legs. Thank you for being there for you and tell them to appreciate it if you continually support. You know it will be a challenge to return to life, and you don’t want to feel alone.
For the other family members, communicate with each one and tell them that you intend to change your life. He promises to show them for your actions that may be proud of you. So do it.
The reconstruction of trust takes time. You can do it if you put your mind.
