Guest guest Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Exactly, Thea! I've also caught myself commenting on a food I used to binge on by saying, "What is all the fuss about?" When I'm allowed to eat what I want when I want, the world changes.

In the spirit of IE, I've been making it and putting it in the freezer, and I ate maybe 3 batches, and I was annoyed because I kept wanting it. One day last week, I said to myself, to hell with it, all I want to eat today is cookie dough and that's all I'm going to eat, and whoever doesn't like it can go talk a walk. > > I ate about a dozen cookie equivalents that day, maybe more, not to the point of nausea but at some point I was just done. I've barely touched it since. I ate one today and thought, what is all the fuss about?> > I think I ate so much before because I really hadn't given myself permission. I was still eating only a couple at a time and feeling bad about it. This was a very important realization for me.> > thea> > > > >> > > > > > Hey there you all,> > > > > > > > I find most of your letters so valuable and so interesting! It's like reading a book!

I didn' t binge, but that feeling of a binge coming my way to save me from everything that is making or MIGHT make my life miserable... I didn't give in, but was left with a need to share this with you.
