Re: interesting reaction to Geneen Roth's workshop

May 27, 2010

Do you think binges are a normal reaction to facing the food issues???

Sort of like tears and crying are normal symptoms of depression. Would we beat

ourselves up over tears while fighting depression?

I wonder. I have been reading Geenen's book and eating healthy and what I want.

But today I was having a really bad emotional midlife day and binged. I think

binges will happen as they are a symptom of what we are dealing with.
