I am fasting today because I ate everything that wasn't nailed down yesterday. (Actually, there were some nailed-down things I wanted to eat, too. I thought that maybe I could claim the nails add a little iron to my diet.)
You know what the hell of it is? The real hell of it is that we rob ourselves of pleasure, even in the midst of binging. The feeling of guilt, of panic, overwhelms the taste of the food, dulls our senses to it. We chew so quickly, stuffing the food down, working frantically to make the evidence of our sin disappear.
Sometimes it's just easier to starve.

I know what yo mean about binging, I've been working so hard not to, and the only thing that does it is forcing myself to eat at least a few small meals, or drink a lot of hot beverages/soups. Chicken broth actually staves off a lot of it for me, because it's so savory, and I can add spices to it. Anyways, good luck!

Hi, I'm Emma. :)
ReplyDeleteI binged today, so reading this post is very inspiring.
Also, I love what you said about juice fasting. I will definitely be doing that very soon!
I was thinking the exact same thing today. Stay strong.
