Yesterday while reading I ran across a statement that has had me deep in thought analyzing my compulsions. It was this:
"I feel that eating binges are displaced temper tantrums or rage reactions."
I think this may be true of emotional eaters in general. Food has become a coping strategy to numb the emotions being felt. I know this is true for me.
Does anyone else care to discuss their thoughts on this topic or how they feel it is for them?
