Feeling like you'll be found out is common ground for people who comfort eat.
Many of us imagine others to be better than us, think others have a perfect life, and feel we are frauds waiting to be discovered. But the reality is that most of us feel inadequate. Most of us think that someone else could do better. It's this feeling that can lead to comfort eating or addiction.
Here, I talk about how this comes from a belief about not being good enough, whether from your past or from society. I encourage you to be realistic about your limitations and strengths, and to let others be impressed by you.
