Guess its different for everyone, & good for pointing out binge eaters aren't always 3 feet wide, neither am I.
I'm way too lazy to do all that $#%^ but I realised binge eating is a form of self harm/self destruction, except I dont self harm to harm myself, I self harm to harm others. Its not that I want to prevent myself from succeeding, its that I believe to succeed I need to destroy the people who are trying to control me, and what better way than to destroy what they created. I actually believe that eventually, by destroying myself I will destroy them, and by destroying them I win, and I will be free to succeed. So I think to succeed, I need to destroy myself. Hmmmmm.... doh.
