Being a successful adult is hard in our society, so I don't come down TOO hard on my inner child when she asserts her will. Instead, I try to give her a non-food-related indulgence to chew on, so to speak.

That actually really resonates with me. I just spend so much of my time making sure things are getting done, budgeting, cleaning, doing school work, doing work-work, etc. I can't drink a bottle of wine to relax/indulge anymore (I'm trying to be sober), so I turn to food to go wild and de-stress.
