Unidentified Feelings


It’s been 5 weeks since I starting my eating protocol, and I am down 10 lbs! I’m very happy with my progress. I’ve completely cut out flour and sugar, and also have not had any alcohol. It’s been so interesting watching (and feeling!) my feelings without any food or alcohol buffers. For the past few days, I’ve been feeling sort of… flat. I was so motivated to a lot of cleaning out and reorganizing of my apartment over the weekend, and thought I would feel so good afterwards. I was glad that I did it, but I didn’t feel as good as I thought I would. I just bought pants a size smaller, and thought it would feel great, and it just felt neutral. I’m carrying this feeling in my chest like I want to cry. But I can’t link it to any specific thought. I know I can add pain upon pain by feeling bad about not being “happier”, and I’m trying not to do that. I want this feeling to be allowed and pass through already, or be linked to a thought I can work with. Can you recommend a model or tool I can use? I’m still new to this work. Thank you so much.
