Now that is something you don’t hear a Binge Eating Disorder Specialist say every day huh?
But I mean it.
Why don’t you just stop stuffing your face full of garbage and act like a regular human being?
People who don’t binge eat can’t possibly imagine why you would want to eat so piggy that you make yourself sick? I mean really, where is your self control?
So what’s the big problem and why don’t you just stop binge eating and eat healthy? Why the heck can’t you get to the gym and work some of the fat off your body?
Do you think you have more problems than the rest of us? Do you want more attention than the rest of us? Do you think you get special treatment by binging? Do you really think no one understands you and no one loves you?
Okay, I know you are fuming right now.
Now let me ask you this:
Do you think these questions are insane and completely unjustified?
Do you think society sees overweight people as stupid and lazy beings who should just stop stuffing their faces and go on a diet?
Then that is EXACTLY why we must get the word out to the world about the truth about binge eating disorder. We must educate society the same way cancer survivors educate others who suddenly find themselves in a world they thought they understood but clearly never did until being diagnosed. We learn from others who have been through it and who talk about it openly with others. And society appreciates them doing so because it helps us fulfill our need to know…our quest for the truth.
A wrong belief gets formed when there is judgment and a lack of facts. It is a misconception that society has about compulsive overeating and it needs to be cleared up.
Binge Eating Disorder is such a “private and silent” disorder because people are simply afraid to talk about it for fear of being judged.
What do you think? Are you ready to speak out?
