When Will I Be Ready To Give Up My Eating Problems...if Ever?

Morning all (be it wet!)

My CPN has been challenging me to think about why I restrict and binge/purge and why having a baby and husband isn't enough to make me change and eat again.

I don't know...I don't know...I don't know...

Why do I do it? I think...

*I want to show the world how bad I feel on the inside by looking bad on the outside.

*I want to feel successful and lose all my body fat.

*I've forgotten how to eat and it's not normal to me anymore.

*I'm scared to death of weight gain-it means failure.

*I'm SELFISH

*iT GIVES me focus and drive.

*I feel like I'm winning and in control and nobody can take this away from me.

What do others think? x

Hi Rufusmoo, it could be that all the points are valid and there may be some that are deep down and you don't even know about, but I'd say that when I had difficulties and fears around eating it was because of the latter point- because it gave me control.
