  One of the most common reasons for binge eating is an attempt to manage unpleasant emotions such as stress, depression, loneliness, fear, and anxiety. When you have a bad day, it can seem like food is your only friend.👍

  Pretty sure this outright explains obesity in the US. I had a theory that excess body fat is really just stored, unprocessed, or repressed emotional trauma.

  my parents raised my siblings and i on really unhealthy food. a trip to the grocery store meant coming home with donuts, oreos, poptarts, popcorn, ice cream, etc. despite their part in this, we were shamed for our weight and eating habits. there were so many instances my dad would see me grabbing cookies and he&apos;d say, &quot;you might as well glue those to your hips cause that&apos;s where they&apos;re going.&quot; or he&apos;d jiggle my stomach and exclaim, &quot;dang you&apos;re getting chubby!&quot; this lead to me binging and binging and binging at any opportunity when i would be alone. instead of snacking on a couple cookies, i began obsessively eating rows and rows of cookies followed by ice cream with poptarts broken up in it followed by pizza in a short period of time. i&apos;d eat just a little bit when we went out to eat, and then i&apos;d binge the leftovers when no one was looking. <br><br>long story short, i developed an ED as the years went on and dropped to a very low weight and was obsessively working out. this lasted years and my parents PRAISED my weight loss, not realizing how i was obtaining it. whenever i &apos;recovered&apos; from my ED, i would binge. this was a cycle. starving, binging, starving, binging for years and years. there&apos;s no in between for me. i either go to the grocery store and check food ratings and read every label of every item i buy or i go to the store and come home with 6000000 calories of snacks.<br><br>i finally &apos;recovered&apos; for the millionth time and i&apos;ve steadily been a binge eater for the past 5 years. an ED is for life, whether it&apos;s binging or starving. for example, i&apos;m currently on day 3 of a stomach bug and all my brain is thinking is &quot;look how much better you look when you don&apos;t eat. look how skinny you&apos;re getting. even when you feel better, you need to eat way less and get thin again.&quot; it&apos;s a constant battle between my binging brain and my starving brain.

  Dr. Ramani has kind of become my surrogate maternal attachment figure. I’ve never met the woman, but she has helped me access, understand and begin to process my gaping mother wound. She’s so safe, on a deep primitive psyche level, at least as she exists on this platform, my brain perceives her as safe.

  Love this! But I wish the title said it was about eating, not just self Sabotage in general.

  I am literally obsessed with this series. Amazing work. So informative. I would &nbsp;love if you guys did a series on play therapy. I have noticed you guys don’t have that much content when it comes to little kiddos.

  The cheesesteak girl doesn&apos;t want to abandon or be abandoned by her family. Food and being obese is about being accepted and gets linked to survival. That&apos;s why when someone from a poor family graduates high school, their family system can turn against them and then the child who just graduated doesn&apos;t go to college b/c they feel abandoned.
