"I imagined my body expanding like a balloon. I drew a huge, deformed version of my own naked body and wrote beside it: “What if I loved even the deepest, dirtiest, ugliest version of me?” I know that is the key. I want to love every version of me, unconditionally."
Good luck my friend! I too struggle with loving myself unconditionally.
I can relate to overeating as well. I used to feel out of the control in the past. I don't really anymore. I'm not totally sure what has changed, perhaps i'm in a healthier state of mind even though i'm going through tough times. Perhaps regular exercise has helped. It's basically one of the best decisions i've ever made so i assume it's affected lots of aspects of my life. But not to mention, sometimes we are too hard on ourselves or miss physical, literal things. Like perhaps you are not getting enough protein or something so you get so hungry and just want to gorge yourself. It could be anything really. I mean i know it's emotional for sure, but there's other factors as well.

Unconditional love is harder than it seems eh? I get glimmers of it when I feel self-less but most of the time my ego is there picking away at me...
But, LOVE heals everything! And it's nice to know that we're made of love.
