Binge Eating ep. 2 - Why do I binge eat?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Please Read~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some of the reasons why we binge eat are obvious and we are fully aware of them. But sometimes there are deeper reasons. You have to look deep within yourself and be honest with yourself... ask yourself, "What does binge eating and/or being fat do for me in my life?".

We often acknowledge that we overeat due to stress or negative emotions. But I know I personally overlooked a big part of it all... that being FAT itself has certain advantages in life. Maybe you feel hidden in your fat. Maybe you feel like people won't notice you. Maybe you don't want to be noticed. Maybe your fat makes you feel bigger or stronger somehow. Maybe it makes you feel like no one will ever be attracted to you and so you have no chance of getting hurt. Maybe the thought of being slim actually scares you.

So in this video I suggest some common deeper reasons for binge eating and emotional eating, you might relate to some... but ultimately you have to look into your personal situation and find out exactly why YOU binge eat.

I've noticed some of these things to be true for myself that I didn't really think about before. Although part of me wants to lose weight and be healthy, I'm actually afraid of it and that holds me back.

@087allen I do cook healthy. Thats fat prejudice assuming I must eat unhealthy or junk food because I'm not thin. I eat portions that are too big, its not the TYPE of food I eat. And my husband thinks i'm more than "decent looking" so I dont need any comments by some random person

[ByeByeBelly]

@FemaleFatAdmirer Well I've never EVER had someone say I was attractive in real life while being overweight, it's only ever happened on youtube from fat fetish people. But this isn't about being attractive although I would feel better getting rid of my pregnant looking abdomen. It's about stopping an unhealthy habit... I have PCOS, high cholesterol and all my fat is concentrated on the abdomen so I think accepting or liking that would be unhealthy

you missed a few ways that eating can be derived from childhood. These two things are mental abuse and negect. As a child, my mother had a lot of mental issues. She thought she was taking care of me and my siblings by buying us a bunch of stuff. But all day she was gone, along with my father who had to work. Trust me, it wasn't a good feeling.

@ChowMeinChowdown (continued) the more difficult it is to escape

[buntgestraifft]

@ChowMeinChowdown Ok...yeah well it's not easy to stop binging ONE single day if you're really "involved". That's the difficulty. It's kinda like anorexia - it would be so easy to live without it but your head, your brain tells you not to stop. Lets say half of your brain says "stop it, stop it" and the other part says "come on you're too weak.I am stronger than you" and sadly this part is the stronger part and you have to chance to escape anymore.The longer you live with the disorder(continued)

[ChowMeinChowdown]

@buntgestraifft You might be getting me wrong. I refer not to the quantity of the binge but the frequency. Once a week or every fortnight might probably be beneficial to the recovering binge eater if it allows him to stay on his otherwise healthy diet. Going cold turkey can often be impossible in the long run.

@ChowMeinChowdown Your comment is as senseful as global warming.

[ChowMeinChowdown]

@buntgestraifft Continue binging! It's fun! Just don't overdo it.

I kinda don't know what to think of a fat person who advocates "healthy stuff" like juicing. Good luck anyways to you in your weight loss endeavour.
