Does anyone else note what exactly sets you off on an eating binge. I don't believe that my body is programed to crave salty or sweet things. I believe that my mind has certain things that it believes will keep me from feeling especially anger. If I am sad or upset I usually crave sweet stuff. Anger sets off a salty craving. It would be interesting to me to see if anyone else has this happen to them.

A portion of the #1 highway was closed today due to flooding!!!! Anyway we have been very smug because we have had no water in our basement EVER until this morning. Several inches deep!!! My first response to the discovery. HUNGER!!! How stupid is that. Anything to not feel the anxiety or stress. All I ...
I am here to tell you that forgiveness is harder to do than it would seem. When you have gone off the rails sometimes it just seems like why bother! It always seems easier to forgive someone else than it is to forgive yourself. The thing is that unless and until you forgive yourself- it is really hard to start again. So confess to your "sins" at least to yourself. Or confess to the forum and we will kick your butt ever so kindly. Admit that you did it willingly ...
