Hey all I have been having bad binge days and just some thing that I wanted to share with regards to reasons of feeling guilty for binging!
Other than the fear of weight gain, screwing up my diet, being unhealthy, stuck in a slippery slope etc, I'd also feel guilty as I think of how people living in third world countries/poverty that have to starve and struggle to find morsels of food while I binge... I know the whole 'poverty' thing is an overused rebuttal to when people take things for granted and I am not trying to say that we shouldn't enjoy luxuries and good food for such things are subjective, I'm just hoping that maybe some people who have never thought of this reason might find it as another means to discourage binging? Haha so yeah just take this with a pinch of salt! And I'm just really struggling now with my eating so I'm kinda venting too yeah haha
Hopefully everyone is doing well

I had a somewhat similar thought today, actually! I thought, maybe I should change my thinking about when I grab food and im not hungry (l was planning ahead in my mind how to rect at work today because there is a meeting and usually there is much leftover free food). I thought, well, if I take food that I don't need, that leaves less for others.0
