Re: Damn it. I binged. I freaking binged.

Two thoughts: (1) in my opinion, there is something psychologically

wrong with you if you can live ONLY on chicken breast and broccoli,

and (2) the women you view as " elite " are as " weak " as the rest of us

when it comes to food but use extreme and highly risky methods to

achieve their on-season look. As I said in a previous post, I was

aghast to see PRO fitness competitors in the off-season who were

about 20 pounds overweight and looked so far from their magazine

image that I was unable to recognize them at first glance. Sad to

say, but this gave me a great deal of reassurance as I realized that

we are ALL prone to binging and disordered eating when subject to the

extreme deprivation that any diet imposes. There is no " elite " when

it comes to food deprivation - we're all human.
