Are you harboring a resentment towards someone in your life? Do you feel yourself stewing about something that someone did or failed to do? Is the only way that you can escape your feelings of upset or rage to enter into a food trance? If so, keep reading.

Booker T. Washington said, "You can't hold a man down, without staying down with him." Anger boiling under your surface can be so physically and psychologically uncomfortable that you end up eating just to escape the pain. Forgiveness is a gift you can give yourself because it's just too heavy to walk around with all that extra weight of resentment. If you're struggling to figure out how to forgive someone, you can try this simple technique used in many 12-Step programs. It's the four-column technique. You draw four columns. In the first column you write the name of the person you resent, are upset with or angry at. In the second column you write what they did. In the third column you write what this resentment affects (for example, your sleep, your peace of mind, your sense of self, your weight, your ability to work, mother, etc.). And in the fourth column you write what your part in the dynamic has been (for example, I don't set firm boundaries, I choose unsafe people, I am very sensitive, etc.). You can do this over and over and for any person (or even situation) in your life. It often unlocks something that you couldn't see before. Letting go is sure to make you feel lighter (in heart, mind and body).
