sorry forgot to add my demons... was soooo engrossed in yours lol!

umm... well i tend to make excuses about why i eat... not really proper demons just pathetic justifications for being greedy/ stuffing my face/ bingeing til i feel sick, etc.

because im sad, 'happy' (strange i know), tired, bored etc... they are NOT reasons to binge and lose control. i must think more of myself and not reward/punish myself with food whenever things are good/bad.

i have had counselling before and i was told that i eat as a way to compensate extreme emotions... maybe i need to learn to shout about them and not eat to dull them! happy or sad... let out my emotions and be proud of them!!! after all our 'emotions' make us human...

wow that was a big demon right there hun and your fighting it.. xxx
