List Of Binge Foods

I have a nice long post for you today. (You who? No one has stumbled across this yet. I'm still ranting to myself, voiceless echoes in an empty canyon.) I thought I would write a little bit about bingeing. How do I binge? On what do I binge? What do I get out of a binge?

Binge foods are things that I rarely eat in moderation. If I have them around, I will eat them until they are gone. Rarely are they anything with significant nutritional value. I seek out sugar, salt, and fat. Anything of the golden-brown variety is especially enticing.

For me, the experience of binge eating is very much like how I've seen people describe cutting. Sometimes I don't like what I'm feeling, so I create this very intense experience with the food. I choose strongly flavored things and eat them to the point of physical pain. My stomach becomes so distended that all I can do is lay down. I cannot breath properly because my lungs are compressed. The food is both comfort and punishment. I give myself a "treat" to show myself love, to feel something pleasurable, and make myself ugly at the same time. If I am ugly, if I am in pain, no one can expect me to deal with life's little unpleasantries. I will be too busy dealing with the horrible bloat in my gut to do anything else.
