Compulsive Overeating
From my perspective, compulsive overeating is often linked to a significant amount of self-pity and an internal misalignment between energy-informational systems, or subpersonalities, within the person. These parts haven’t yet been resolved or integrated. One part says, "I want to eat," while another says, "I want to maintain a good figure, I want to eat healthy, I won’t eat anything." So, what can we do?
⠀
First, let me ask: have you ever fasted? A three-day water fast is manageable for anyone. It’s a great practice for self-awareness and personal experience. If you can’t do it, that means something inside is stronger than you, and you’ll give in to weakness and start eating, even though you committed to fasting for three days.
⠀
I can tell you this—it's self-pity, indulging in weaknesses, and a lack of clarity about who’s in charge. In other words, you’re not in control of yourself. A subpersonality, hidden in the subconscious, is stronger than the part of you that currently "sits on the throne" and says, "I"—that’s the part we need to address.
⠀
So, what can we do? First, we must acknowledge the situation as it truly is—you are not in charge; the one on the throne is just an illusion. The real decision-maker is hidden inside. We need to reconcile these subpersonalities. What’s hidden needs to be expressed, and in this case, it manifests as uncontrollable eating.
⠀
If you haven't addressed your relationship with food, it’s time to start. Everything begins with a person giving in to weakness. The part of you that knows you don’t keep your own commitments starts to grow.
⠀
When you make a decision and stick to it out of respect for yourself and as part of your inner practice, you develop willpower. You set a goal, and you accomplish it. These tasks won’t solve themselves—you need to find the strength within to do what you’ve decided.
⠀
In psychology, uncontrollable eating is often seen as "stress eating." If you recognize you have this issue, acknowledging it is fine. But acceptance is just the first step. By accepting that you’re not in control, you can go deeper and start the internal work. First, you need to remove the barriers you’ve created for yourself, the ones that keep that subpersonality trapped, which then emerges and starts overeating.
⠀
From childhood, we’ve faced many restrictions, making it hard to express ourselves as we wish. When self-expression is impossible, and we’ve been taught to behave in certain ways, internal conflict arises. Over time, this dysfunction builds up until it overflows in the form of overeating or other behaviors.
⠀
In my opinion, the easiest way to address this is through Osho meditation—to express what’s inside through movement, through interaction with the world beyond food. Put on some music and dance, move, express yourself, and observe your thoughts—why you think what you think. Let go, sweat it out, don’t worry about anyone watching.
⠀
The point is, if you realize that you are not in charge of your body, you need to find that "owner" and make peace with them. Achieve this inner integration, stop lying to yourself, and allow yourself to express who you truly are without shame. Accept yourself as you are.
⠀
This is the first step in solving the issue.
Once you accept that overeating sometimes happens, you need to be super aware when it’s triggered. Because when it kicks in, it’s the second part of you, the part that isn’t really "you," taking control when you’ve told yourself you won’t eat. Sit, watch your breath, and resist the urge to eat. Feel hungry? Tell yourself, "I’ll eat soon," but don’t follow through—keep observing. When you master this, you’re in charge. You’ve redirected the impulse, tricked yourself, and achieved the results you need.
Light and Love🙏💖
