\\u201cDear Annie: Today I was feeling pretty good about myself and what I was accomplishing and suddenly I had a craving. Normally I crave when I\'m trying to avoid or numb a negative emotion, so I was confused. Acknowledging how good I was feeling, and my own goodness and beauty, makes me uncomfortable and I wanted to numb out those good feelings. When I realized it\'s easier to believe the negative things about myself than it is to believe the positive things about myself, I got really sad.\\u201d In today\\u2019s episode, Annie Grace shares her thoughts about how to deal with these cravings and explains why she always says, \\u201cCelebrate the awareness, no matter how painful it is.\\u201d
