Thanks for sharing, Beth. I read the whole thing and I totally get it - I can be a binge eater too - especially with sweets (I'm an addict through and through - 20 years sober from alcohol, but still struggle with sugar). The thing I've been trying to figure out is, "what do I think eating junk/sugar will give me that NOT eating it will deprive me of?". I mean, seriously, what kind of LIE is it that I tell myself to turn the healthiest choice into "deprivation" and the least healthy choice into "treating myself" or "celebrating" or "rewarding myself". So backwards! It seems if I can answer this I'll have a great tool to beat back the binger lady that takes me over.
