#BingeEater on Twitter

For kicks, checked to see if Twitter had a topic on binge eating. Yup--#BingeEater, and Oh dear, there are a lot of binge eaters. However, perusing the topic on Twitter, I´m again questioning my self-proclaimed diagnosis because

  • I never feel guilty. Sometimes stupid but never ashamed or guilty.
  • I never hide food to eat later. (Well, maybe I didn´t hide it, but when I live with others I had my eye on it already...)
  • I never binge on food other than sweets.
But I just don´t see how eating two half gallons of ice cream in two days--instead of food (cause I get too full) isn´t binging.

Nevertheless, if I make it to January 1, I can say I really only binged once this entire year. Well, maybe I only binged for one month this entire year ćause there was also that mistake of making orange marmalade and eating all but one jar (gave that one away) in a couple days and that box of crackers (what was it I said about only binging on sweets?) and that bag of almonds (sweets?) an that jar of peanut butter (sweets?) and God forbid I buy any Freetos ćause they´d be gone in a minute. Oh well. And, uh oh, I just baked a loaf of sourdough, and sadly, how many times does the loaf disappear in a flash ´cause I love bread. No, that is substituting (for a meal) not binging. Oh well.
