• 0:05
  people use food to control you. If you're new here, my name is

  Lee Hammock. I'm a clinically diagnosed
• 0:12
  narcissist and welcome to another episode of The
• 0:14
  Narcissist Code. Welcome back, welcome back,

• 0:35
  Food. Glorious food.
• 0:38
  Hot ketchup and mustard. Where do they come from?
• 0:40
  Where is it food, glorious food. I'm going to figure out where
• 0:43
  they came from. But yes, this is a topic not a
• 0:46
  lot of people talk about. Food, food abuse, nutritional
• 0:50
  abuse, and things of that nature.
• 0:53
  So before we hop deep into today's topic, y'all make sure
• 0:55
  you check out my courses in my support group as well.
• 0:58
  You can find those at courses.mentalillness.net.
• 1:03
  And yes, currently as of right now, my Facebook page is still
• 1:06
  hacked. Don't buy anything from her, but
• 1:13
  yes y'all, this is how we go right here food yes, like I
• 1:18
  said, narcissistic people, they use money to control you.
• 1:22
  They use power to control you. They use their SO religion to
• 1:27
  control you. They use a lot of different
• 1:29
  things to try and control you, right?
• 1:31
  But not a lot of people talk about how narcissist and toxic
• 1:34
  people could possibly use food to control you, to manipulate
• 1:39
  you with and things of that nature.
• 1:40
  And typically you have to be living with this narcissistic
• 1:44
  person for them to use food to control you.
• 1:47
  Like if you were the child of a narcissist, right?
• 1:51
  And you have a narcissistic or toxic parent that is extremely
• 1:55
  self-conscious, which is about their look.
• 1:57
  So how you, how you look and things like that.
• 2:00
  They could absolutely starve you.
• 2:02
  You hear that? You hear about the toxic,
• 2:04
  abusive, narcissistic parents to put locks on the fridge that
• 2:07
  chained the refrigerator up and so nobody can get inside of it
• 2:11
  and get food or anything like that.
• 2:12
  That happens. That's food abuse.
• 2:15
  They will abuse you with food. They're like, oh, you get into
• 2:17
  my key. I don't want my kids overweight.
• 2:18
  I don't want my wife or my husband overweight.
• 2:20
  I don't want anybody in my house overweight and they'll lock the
• 2:23
  refrigerator up. There were few if they if they
• 2:25
  are the financial provider of the house, they will not only
• 2:29
  lock the refrigerator up, they'll like they'll does not
• 2:34
  buy any food in the house. You can only eat what they allow
• 2:38
  you to eat when they allow you to eat.
• 2:40
  It's horrible, y'all? It's horrible.
• 2:43
  If you don't follow the rules of the house, you get to be like,
• 2:46
  you don't get to eat you. Like that's how they control
• 2:49
  you. They want a lot of narcissists
• 2:51
  and toxic people are so hyper focused about how they look
• 2:55
  right and how they are presented towards the world.
• 2:57
  They're so image focused that they will absolutely try to
• 3:00
  control what you eat and how you eat and things like that because
• 3:03
  it gives them power. You know, when they run out, run
• 3:06
  out of other ways to try to control you, they will
• 3:08
  absolutely use food, right? They they will, and I know it
• 3:12
  might maybe not a lot of people have experienced this.
• 3:14
  Maybe this is such a specific video.
• 3:15
  It might not reach a right reach a a big audience, but it's true.
• 3:20
  It is absolutely true that how a lot of narcissistic people can
• 3:24
  use their food and ability to provide food for you to
• 3:28
  manipulate you into doing things that you normally might not do
• 3:32
  to manipulate you into behaving and act in a way that you might
• 3:35
  know not normally behave in, right.
• 3:37
  This is a tactic. It's a very, very abusive tactic
• 3:41
  that happens a lot and people don't, a lot of people don't
• 3:45
  realize it's going on behind the scenes, like because being at
• 3:47
  school is so much different than being at home and not being able
• 3:50
  to eat at school. A lot of times you get to choose
• 3:52
  like especially like high school, middle school, whatever.
• 3:54
  You can kind of get to choose what you want to eat a lot of
• 3:56
  the time. But at home it's different.
• 4:00
  At home they might not, like I said, you might not be able to
• 4:03
  eat what you want to eat because this parent is so controlling.
• 4:07
  You know, this parent is so controlling and so hyper focus
• 4:09
  about making sure you're skinny and you don't embarrass them
• 4:12
  with how you look and things like that.
• 4:14
  They could don't let you eat a whole bunch.
• 4:16
  They put you on a certain like they do put it to put the whole
• 4:20
  family on a fad diet. They're so self-image, so self,
• 4:23
  so image obsessed that they put the entire family on a fad diet,
• 4:29
  which is crazy as hell to do right.
• 4:31
  It's insane to do that, but this happens all the time.
• 4:34
  Like you get the narcissist right as a parent that's
• 4:37
  obsessed with how they do and things like that was says to how
• 4:40
  they look. They put the whole family on it.
• 4:42
  The spouse, it has to eat this, the kids have to eat this Keto,
• 4:47
  like keto. What's the others like Atkins,
• 4:50
  carnivore, vegan, vegetarian, whatever they want to try.
• 4:53
  The whole house has to try. And if you don't try, they
• 4:55
  belittle you, they invalidate you to make you feel like you're
• 4:58
  worth the less because of things like that.
• 5:01
  They make you feel like you're worth less because you look at
• 5:04
  certain type where you, you're not into the diet that they're
• 5:06
  in that they into, you're not eating right, you're not healthy
• 5:10
  enough, right? They'll, they'll pick on you.
• 5:12
  They absolutely will. But that's just one way in a, in
• 5:16
  a household with a narcissist or tax person, how they do it, like
• 5:19
  they will keep food from you and control what you eat and how you
• 5:22
  eat and whatnot, because they are so controlling.
• 5:24
  It is it is very, extremely tough and very, extremely
• 5:27
  difficult to live with this type of personality because they will
• 5:30
  mess with you. Y'all They, they absolutely
• 5:32
  will. They'll pick on things that you
• 5:34
  eat like, even if they're not controlling the things that you
• 5:38
  eat, they will pick on you and make you feel a certain type of
• 5:41
  way about eating things like that.
• 5:42
  You know what I mean? They'll make you so, so they'll
• 5:45
  have you feeling insecure about how you look.
• 5:47
  Even though you might look great, they'll have you feeling
• 5:49
  insecure about how you look. Oh, ice cream again.
• 5:53
  You sure you want that extra slice of pizza?
• 5:56
  You sure you going to ate the extra bite of steak?
• 5:59
  You sure you're going to drink that soda?
• 6:01
  How much sugar is in that soda? The dress look a little tighter
• 6:06
  now that fitted soup isn't so fitted anymore, is it Hub hubby?
• 6:11
  You see, they dig deep into you and they absolutely mess with
• 6:15
  you in ways like that. That's something that they will
• 6:18
  absolutely do and continue to do to try to get inside of your
• 6:23
  head. So this happens a lot.
• 6:25
  This is one of those things that happens, y'all, if you're living
• 6:27
  with a nurses or Tyson person, they will use that food to mess
• 6:30
  with you. They'll use their food to
• 6:32
  control you. They will absolutely do it
• 6:34
  because they it empowers them, right?
• 6:36
  They feel empowered because they do it.
• 6:37
  They feel like they're in top of the world because they do it.
• 6:39
  They feel like they're in control and in charge because
• 6:41
  they they make you feel less than.
• 6:43
  So a lot of times once they started build those food
• 6:45
  insecurities up in you, right? They started to build an
• 6:48
  insecurity up in you. They don't have to do anything.
• 6:50
  Once they plant enough seeds, their work is done.
• 6:54
  Once they plant enough seeds, they no longer have to do
• 6:56
  anything. They don't have to do anything
• 6:58
  else anymore because the seed has been planted.
• 7:00
  Right now you are feeling in a certain type of way about the
• 7:04
  situation. So the seed has been planted.
• 7:06
  They don't have to do anything else.
• 7:09
  You see, they don't have to say anything because now you're
• 7:12
  feeling you might start feeling insecure about eating that ice
• 7:14
  cream that actually they're actually helping.
• 7:16
  The spaghetti, the extra slice of bread or whatever it is
• 7:18
  y'all, the extra scoop of peanut butter, whatever it is.
• 7:22
  They make you feel so insecure about the food that they don't.
• 7:24
  They no longer have to say anything.
• 7:25
  You just stop doing it because you don't want to hear it
• 7:27
  anymore, right? I've heard I've talked to people
• 7:32
  in very toxic, abusive relationships with some
• 7:35
  narcissists, right? I know I've spoken a part about
• 7:38
  how some narcissists control what you eat and don't let you
• 7:40
  eat too much. There's some narcissists that
• 7:43
  like to try to fatten you up to, to increase the insecurities
• 7:46
  within yourself. I spoke to this one woman.
• 7:49
  She was the older woman and she was just saying, yeah, my
• 7:51
  husband, he's in charge of all the money and going doing the
• 7:53
  grocery shopping and stuff, and he only buys fatty stuff and he
• 7:57
  doesn't eat it. He's on like this strict diet
• 8:01
  because I guess he had a heart attack or something.
• 8:04
  But he's trying to fatten her up and only lets her eat like the
• 8:06
  fattiest cut of beef. The fattiest cut of this, you
• 8:10
  know, is always ice cream and snacks and things of that nature
• 8:13
  in the house. And she's feel, she feels super
• 8:15
  insecure in any situation because like, she's like, damn,
• 8:18
  I, I don't have a really a choice but to do this.
• 8:21
  I don't have a choice but to do that.
• 8:22
  I don't have a, I don't have a choice, you know, but to eat
• 8:25
  what he puts into the house or I'll starve, you know, and
• 8:29
  things of that nature. But like I said, everybody's
• 8:30
  different. Everybody's reasoning is going
• 8:32
  to be different in the situation.
• 8:33
  But she said, well, yeah, if she, he's like, I've gained 100
• 8:36
  lbs in the last couple of years because of the the choices that
• 8:39
  the, the food choices that he's bought into the house.
• 8:42
  And when I've gained weight, he picks on me.
• 8:45
  Oh, look how fat you are now. Wow, you gain a ton of weight.
• 8:48
  Look how skinny I am. And look how fat you are.
• 8:51
  How how am I the one? How am I the one who had a heart
• 8:54
  attack? You walk around eating this type
• 8:56
  of stuff and he does the grocery shopping.
• 8:59
  You know, he's in control of the money.
• 9:01
  She's I think she's a stay at home mom for decades and she
• 9:04
  doesn't have like a source of income other than him.
• 9:06
  And it sucks that she can only, you know, she can only eat.
• 9:09
  I think she made a plan. I've talked to her in a while.
• 9:10
  I think she ended up making a plan to get out of there for her
• 9:13
  own health because like her author is getting clogged and
• 9:16
  she feel like she might be she's getting sick.
• 9:18
  You know, some narcissists will try to fatten you up to make you
• 9:22
  less attractive to make because they feel like you'll be less
• 9:24
  attractive to the people on the outside.
• 9:25
  So if I fatten you up less people will want you and you'll
• 9:29
  be less likely to leave me because you don't have enough.
• 9:31
  You don't have a lot of options. So that can happen as well where
• 9:35
  they try to make sure that you are gaining weight and you look
• 9:38
  a certain type of way, you present a certain type of way so
• 9:41
  they can feel like they can feel safe in the relationship.
• 9:44
  So they're like, well, you too, Nobody's going to want you.
• 9:46
  You can't leave me because nobody's going to want you
• 9:49
  because look how big you are, blah, blah, blah, Boo Boo, Boo,
• 9:51
  Boo, BB. You know, this is the mindset,
• 9:53
  the dark, dark mindset that some narcissists have right here,
• 9:57
  y'all? It can get super dark inside the
• 9:59
  mind of a narcissist. So if you're in a toxic
• 10:01
  relationship, if you're dealing with a narcissistic person and
• 10:03
  they're doing things like this, you absolutely have to be
• 10:06
  careful about this type of stuff because they will absolutely
• 10:10
  mess with you. It's one of those things that
• 10:12
  they will continuously do because it works.
• 10:15
  Why don't they just leave us alone?
• 10:16
  Why do they keep messing with us?
• 10:17
  Because it works. The stuff that they do works.
• 10:20
  It works for them. So they're going to keep doing
• 10:22
  it over and over again in life. You don't like it, like it.
• 10:25
  It's I know I'm not trying to make it seem like it's an easy
• 10:28
  thing to do, but if you don't, especially if it's, it's damn
• 10:31
  near impossible to do when you're a kid and this, your
• 10:34
  parent is like this. But when you become an adult,
• 10:37
  it's possible to start making a plan, right, to escape or plan
• 10:42
  to eat healthy or a plan to eat enough to get out of.
• 10:46
  So they they can't use the food to control you.
• 10:48
  They can't use the food dynamic to abuse you.
• 10:51
  And I know this is a very covert way that people will get get
• 10:54
  abused, but it happens, y'all A lot of people, they grow up with
• 10:57
  these food. They they grow up in these
• 10:59
  households with these food insecurities, end up having, you
• 11:01
  know, eating disorders, you know, bulimic bulimia, anorexia.
• 11:08
  You might eat too much, you might get overweight because of
• 11:10
  it. You know, you might overindulge
• 11:12
  in things because it was you were so restricted from it as a
• 11:15
  youth. When you get into your
• 11:16
  adulthood, you just overindulge in it.
• 11:18
  You see, there's a tell. It could be a telltale sign and
• 11:22
  whatnot. Yeah.
• 11:23
  But I hope this video, I know the video might trigger a few
• 11:26
  people, might, might make a lot of people remember things from
• 11:29
  their childhood that they might have tried to forget.
• 11:31
