By the time a person gets to my site and joins they have consciously made the decision that they want to make changes in their lives and PERHAPS stop binge eating. I say perhaps because there are still some people who join that are still not quite ready to give up something, even though it’s harmful, that has been a part of their lives for a very long time. It’s the same with smokers. They desperately want to quit but there is a war going on in their head that wants to keep smoking even though they know it is bad for them. They try the patch, gum, and pills but they fail. Why?
They are resisting. Resisting for what reason though? The mind is tricky enough to start to analyzing why we do the things we do but the fact is we resist things that we feel we aren’t ready for.
So my question is then, when is it time to stop compulsive overeating? I guess when you can decide that it is really YOU that wants to stop, not just because you know it is unhealthy, but because you want to be happier and feel better. You want peace.
