I am in recovery from binge eating disorder and I know what it feels like to just keep eating. It sucks. Good for you for just moving on and forgiving yourself. That is half the battle sometimes.Christie @ Quit Your Diethttp://www.quityourdiet.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381543043245692093.post-22730167574557297142009-07-07T10:39:04.006-07:002009-07-07T10:39:04.006-07:00MMM sounds like good food!

If so, then it was a good thing. <br /><br />Maybe next time take a second to assess your needs. Do you need to have food because you're hungry? Do you need to emote through the blog? Do you need to take a minute to think about it?Just Eat It!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18063645003673364407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381543043245692093.post-18606172113654106132009-07-06T11:38:53.308-07:002009-07-06T11:38:53.308-07:00As everyone has said, dont feel guilty for having ...As everyone has said, dont feel guilty for having an occasional feast. You've been doing so well in other areas, it almost seems that you look for a reason to beat up on yourself. Don't. <br /><br />Everyone is entitled to treat themselves now and then. The real enjoyment comes when we can finally do it without feelings of guilt. <br /><br />You are doing beautifully. enjoy your life.

I think this is because food ultimately slows me down, makes me lazy, and not want to move (ie eating when not hungry, over eating)<br /><br />Then there are times I think, holy crap, image if I never started blogging?Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17034980786297421545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381543043245692093.post-46247118628265014482009-07-06T03:42:18.243-07:002009-07-06T03:42:18.243-07:00bbq chicken?? hot-dogs, chips & salsa??

Not like you are doing this everyday. You are entitled to pig out now and then - as we all are. <br /><br />I just don't have that stuff in the house. I don't eat it, but my husband and son would quite happily munch away. Too much tempation for them. Mindless munching. Mmmmmm. Icecream just rarely appears in the freezer. <br /><br />Blogging is better.lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05392205573326695683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381543043245692093.post-80274952446967080832009-07-05T20:32:38.666-07:002009-07-05T20:32:38.666-07:00lesson learned.
