I have enjoyed reading your posts and can relate to so many of your feelings and thoughts. Thank you for sharing! Sometimes I think it's crazy that food has to be this complicated. I think you are right on with your thinking of wanting to make the f…
Meg, seriously. I ESPECIALLY need a dinner meal. And usually it has to be hot - even in the summertime. And breakfast is funny: it's such a hot-button issue for so many people, but I'm not usually hungry in the morning, either. My problem is that if…
Suzyn, I know what you mean about learning to feel safe through structure. Right now I'm working on eating MORE during the day, because I have a tendency to "save" my calories and then wind up bingeing at night. The first couple of days I had a REAL…
I love that you are doing all this soul searching... it's so good for you. If 3 regular meals is what works for you then there's nothing wrong with that at all! It is definitely true that our society and family is focused around meals... which seems…
I'm back to basics myself this week - and trying really hard to STICK to basics, LOL. I often complicate things so much that I make them unmanageable, so I'm really trying to avoid that this time around. :)
Yeah, I agree with Emily and Valerie. I always weigh more (sometimes a LOT more) at the end of the day, just because of food and beverage intake. Don't worry about it. Just stick to once a day, at the same time every day.
I feel like you took the thoughts right out of my head with this post... I kept reading and just saying "yes...yes...oh yes... thats me for sure... oh yeah I can totally relate!" I am a single girl in her 20's that lives alone, and I have my pantry…
I related to your post so much! Food is very much about safety for me. I remember times of my life when the money hasn't been there, and the stress of that would lead me to binge on whatever food I COULD afford. I learned to take care of the pantry…
I've been thinking a lot lately about the idea of food as security. We are a food-oriented (obssessed?) society. We associate certain foods with childhood, with holidays, with family. I know that for me, bingeing is an unconscious effort to recreate…
Wow, I just scrolled through some of your old posts, and your recent pictures are AMAZING! Congratulations!
Based on the comments above, I gather you're at Mayo for your husband? Here's hoping everything is ok.
Yeah, I'm right there with you. I actually started losing weight this time as a way to manage the Crazy in my head, because that voice was getting out of control. I knew if I didn't *manage* it, I'd succumb to it, if that makes sense. It's an intere…
Thanks for being so candid in your story.. it was really neat to read. You seem so aware of yourself and what you're doing, and I think that's such a huge step. I love your attitude and you will love it here!! Blogging is such a helpful tool in figu…
Yep. After years of alternately starving/overexercising/bingeing and combinations of those states, I finally sought therapy about 18 months ago from a woman who specializes in eating disorders. I don't see her much now, but I am actively "in recover…

Food, Family and Safety
I've been thinking a lot lately about the idea of food as security. We are a food-oriented (obssessed?) society. We associate certain foods with childhood, with holidays, with family. I know that for me, bingeing is an unconscious effort to recreate the feelings of safety I felt as a child. (And I can't help but wonder if my intermittent efforts to starve myself are on some level a rejection of other family things.)

In the Beginning . . .
I was a normal kid, with a normal body weight.
Well, let me amend that: I was always heavier than I looked, but multiple doctors have looked at me, looked at my chart, looked at me again and pronounced, "Well, I was going to tell you to lose weight, but you're not fat!" So clearly, my body weight wasn't really an issue. (I have always, ALWAYS carried a lot more muscle than the average person. I'm a classic mesomorph.) (Does anyone still use the somatotypes? I don't even know.)
