Dear comrades, recently I have been stuck in interpersonal conflict in my political life. This has made one of my main avenues for empowerment and dealing with the weight of the world less effective. As a consequence, I have had recurring urges to overeat. It has negatively impacted my health and energy beyond the general lethargy of mild depression.

Does anyone have any strategies or advice for compassionately handling these impulses? My wallet and body will surely thank you.

This is the main thing. I don't have AC and the US heat wave has been a struggle. I have stocked up on frozen fruit which helps a lot at home & now I just have to resist the siren song while out of the house.

I mean if it's soda calories there's always seltzers. I guess it would be easier if I knew what was typically calling to you when you had to urge to eat bad stuff or whatever.
