So is the demon out of sight when you're happy with your food, or are you fighting it off all the time?
I've pondered this post. And you know. I don't really have an answer for this question.
I have started to recognize certain triggers such as stress, boredom, etc..
But then there are certain times it seems to happen at random.
I guess it makes sense that I would be less likely to binge when I am in control of my eating, per se, because
I'm in control... I guess it 's not really less of an erge, but more of a avoided situation, if that makes any sense.
Like I said. I've had my eating under control for past several days now, yet I relasped tonight.
There was no reasonable explaination for this in my mind, however I do understand that my binging is a learned behavior that has become habit..
Just like eating incorrectly becomes habit, after so long of consistancy I know in time eating correctly will become habit as well.
My demon seems to make appearances both when I am happy and unhappy, in control, and outta control.
I think it may have something to do with the fact that I associate food with happiness, which would make it more clear why I tend to do it at such random.
I eat when I'm sad and I eat when I'm happy. Food has become a comfort thing with me.
When I was a kid (prolly 5 or 6) I had to spend a lot of time with a very emotionally abusive and draining family member...
This is where my problems with binging first started. I ate while I was over there because food was all I had to comfort me.
I would go through like a pack of hotdogs a day some weeks, or it felt like it atleast.
So I dunno. That's why I feel like Imma always struggle with it, because it's gone on for so long. I've literally struggled with it my entire life. It's rooted so deep within me. I just wish I could pry it out by it's core and throw it away.
Sorry for such a long response. I'm not even sure how much of it made sense, but made me feel better. Lol.
