i realized today that when im upset or really any emotion other than neutral, i eat my way through my kitchen. However, i used to be completely the opposite and wouldn't eat for days and i think because i desperately don't want to go back to EDNOS i'm over compensating the other way. I just don't know how to be in the middle i'm always one way or the other.

Does anyone have any advice on how to not eat until i burst? I'm scared i'm going to go back to EDNOS but take the bulimic side of it rather than the anorexia side.

    Sometimes when we eat how you describe - unaware and mouth hungry, looking for comfort - it's so hard to stop. When I feel like I want to eat everything including the kitchen sink to level myself, I will take a hot shower instead and follow it up with a nice cup of tea. It relaxes me enough to sit and gain my control back.
