I'd have to agree I'd call that severe emotional problems, or low self

esteem and the desire to fail

Binging on the Halloween candy that you bought for your students led

you to crave more sweets, so you ate the ice cream, too. You are right

that it's the same as if someone had too much to drink at a Christmas

party. Or someone who ate too much at Thanksgiving or at Christmas. Or

someone who cheated a lot on vacation. Halloween, Thanksgiving,

Christmas, Easter and vacation time are the notorious times for

messing up diets. You're doing the right thing to just start over.

That's what Dr. A. says to do in these situations. If he didn't expect

these situations to occur, he wouldn't have addressed it in the book.

think my ice-cream and candy binge is no different than someone who

had too much to drink at a Christmas party.
