a: bad feelings ~
b: bad weather

What:

"Ideally, you can get to a point where bad feelings are like bad weather - you know they'll pass. Just like when you know it's going to rain and you bring your umbrella, you'll know how to predict your feelings and what you'll need to get through them. If you haven't yet arrived at this place of acceptance, where even bad feelings are a part of you to include rather than to banish, then food will remain your preferred method of medicating yourself."
