Why Binge?

Published by justjessi under bulimia, food Edit This

I haven’t felt the desire to want to purge in a long time.  Binging is another story all together.  I tend to turn to food as a comfort, so when I feel the slightest bit out of sorts my first thought is to turn to chocolate or potato chips.

I’ve been doing pretty well so far, I don’t know if its the medicine I’m on or what but I’m starting to recognize the difference between actually being hungry and just wanting to stuff so I don’t have to feel or think anymore.  When I feel like I want to binge I try to distract myself with playing with O, writing, or listening to music (thanks for the tip mom).  So far its working for me.

I’m still trying to figure out why I turn to food.  Its probably an answer I will never have but I search for it anyway.
