Thoughts on Caving
Another thing to work out is why you are binge eating. When I was binge eating it was rarely about being hungry. I was feeling bad about a lot of things, and tasty food seemed to be an easy way out.. a quick fix to feeling a bit of
happinesstemporary pleasure (I would often be angry or hating myself even as I put another slice of pizza in my mouth).
I have been thinking about this a lot today. I know when I am eating for emotional reasons, but last night (and most of the time) it wasn’t like that.
So, I have been thinking… why is it that I eat this junk? Food that I know makes me nauseated or gives me heartburn. Food that I know is making me unhealthy and gain weight.
Yes, I LOVE food. (It feels strange to say that.) I LOVE LOVE LOVE junk food.
But is my love (and addiction) for junk foods really the main reason why I eat unhealthy foods? Why can’t I just eat it in moderation?
Or is the reason that I do this to myself that I just don’t respect or love myself…? If I had to feed someone else, I wouldn’t feed them the foods that I crave.
But how do I start to respect myself? How do I change my hate into love? Do I have to prove to myself that I am worthy of respect?
