The Guilt That Comes After Eating

Purpose: For the hour after a meal when guilt turns up and starts talking.

When to use: Use this soon after eating, while the feeling is still there.

Worksheet prompts

1. What is the guilt saying to you right now?
2. How loud is it?
3. How long does this usually last, and what makes it ease off?
4. What do you usually do with the feeling?
5. What could you do for the next ten minutes instead?
