Why do I overeat? That is the question that led to me discovery the idea of hedonistic eating. I used to eat to cope with life. Years ago, I binged and purged. Then I joined a 12-step program for Overeaters and through it and counseling, I learned better ways to handle life's emotional ups and downs. I still eat more than the average person though. I sometimes eat when I am bored. I eat out of habit at bedtime and when watching videos. Mostly, I eat because so many foods are so yummy! I do not keep food on hand because if something yummy is in my house, I will eat it. I am not good at telling myself no to the foods I enjoy. I am amazed at folks who can eat one cookie. I recently bought Toffee Crunch Oreos. My daughter rescued me by taking them home with her... ------ ruwth ~ ~ ~ JESUS is LORD! ~ ~ ~ |
