Re: Overeating so much
In Response To: Overeating so much ()

Good job on step 1 food. What I found was that my sick brain/body was out of control and making a conscious decision to start healing was the best thing I could do for myself. Once the healing started kicking in, the binges starting reducing in frequency and intensity. This is someone who used to eat himself through 3 bags of groceries every night with no problem.

Since I am sick, there was no need to beat myself up for being ill. If I focus on the cure (the steps), then the potency of the illness starts diminishing. Why should I beat myself up for being sick when I can use all that psychic energy for making myself better?
