Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Ok I admit I have issues-that is why I am here, to get help for my issues. I have found the discussions on this list to be very helpful. I don't think it is an attack to point out that we may have underlying emotional problems around food. Of course we do and it does not hurt to look at them. Not all of us are well versed in how to bring this to light in a positive manner but that does not make us bad. Sometimes the truth does not feel good but it is better than a life of denial and victimhood. I am here because I have found that emotionally comforting myself with food is more of a punishment to my body than a comfort and I need to know how to substitute that way of eating with a healthier way of eating. Binging is not healthy whether it is a 24 ounce porter house steak or a gallon of ice cream or a gallon of mashed potatoes (my favorite)-so yes chances are that those of us who may do this binging may need help so lets help each other. I am not here because I look like Uma Thurmond-or insert favorite celebrity here-dot dot dot every one has a right to their observations, some are more expert than others but relevant none the less. So keep talking every one and maybe we will all be the wiser and healthier because of it.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I don't think that anyone has the right to tell anyone else in this group that they have issues. No one here is a certified counselor. I am currently attending school to get my degree in counseling. We need to support one another or people feel attacked. Why attach someone for doing something that is actually completely normal and expected. Its not the end of the world or the end of the diet. It only serves to alienate people from this site to attack someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 So then you think that when someone posts a comment about something that they don't understand or something that they have done wrong, that we, as a group, should respond " Gee, that's too bad for you. Hope you can straighten it around. Good luck. " And leave it at that? In other words we should coddle everyone?
