Sorry Diva....lots of stuff going on in my mind that I'd like your viewpoint on.
Why binge? Why not just eat a little too much.
I know there is a massive difference between when I just overeat and when I have a binge. Often when I overeat, it’s because I’m really enjoying what I’m eating that I want to try it again…relive the experience It’s more of a conscious choice. I will have a break…chose to eat a bit more of what I’ve enjoyed.
When I binge it feels so different. It’s like another form of hunger. Not the stomach rumbling but an insatiable desire to fulfill a need that I feel I can only get through food. There is no gap. Even when I’m eating, I’m looking for the next thing and I can’t stuff it in quick enough. Why, when I'm feeling 'normal' and I decide to eat something...how come it can set off a binge? I can feel totally in control and happy....have a biscuit, and then not be able to stop. If I didn't feel like I needed to before that one biscuit, why does it suddenly start then?
If I am an emotional eater, then why binge? If I’m bored, why doesn’t the fact that I’m eating be enough to satisfy my boredom? I could just cook a meal to satisfy my boredom, but it’s not enough…I have to eat while I’m doing it.
Just say I decided I was fed up so chose to read a book. I wouldn’t need to read it extra fast….or go out and buy the whole of WH Smith to satisfy the need…so why do we use food like this?
