My friend Peter is a binge eater as well. He can't just eat a plateful or such. He keeps going back until it's gone. He doesn't have leftovers because he will make himself sick eating everything in one sitting. He's getting better by regimenting himself, but when people go out to lunch with him they often forget...and he keeps eyeing whatever they have left on their plate because "it shouldn't be wasted."
I've never had such a thing happen to me, though. I have had a LOT of women that I've dated who have been in the binge boat. Luckily many of them overcame it, but like alcoholism, they have to work every day to deal with it. It's not something that's like "bing. gone."
Anyway, much love to you and Tim. Merry Christmas. (great change of topic, eh?)
Im the opposite...kawaiinochanDecember 24 2002, 22:53:37 UTC
I dont eat, hate food, and my metabolism -- as well as the rest of me -- shuts down.
This last month or so was particularly bad. There were days I barely ate enough to keep my body going, which is probably why my sleep pattern is screwed up and Im tired and bitchy all the time.
And yet, the first thing people think when the look at me is "she must overeat."
I dont understand what you face specifically, but I *do* understand the abnormal relationship with food. I guess Im on the other end of the spectrum.
Anyway, I guess what Im trying to say is that I know its hard, but you do have your victories, and I have mine as well. And even though I dont know the street where you live, Im in the neighborhood, so you can always come over and talk. I hope you know that, hon.
