Everyone who knows me well knows I binge. I'm very open about it and will happily binge in front of people. I think bc I'm not overweight people really get a kick out of it. Even though I'm not overweight the binges are real and people don't see the hard work i put in to compensate and not to gain weight. They say things like I wish I had your metabolism. I want to say I wish I ate normally like you.

    My husband knows about it though I rarely do it in front of him. I will tell him everything I ate, sometimes to ease my guilt, sometimes because I know he'll realize some food item is now gone, or see the trash, etc. and you guys, you know all my secrets, lol.

    I've told my boyfriend about it, though I clarified what it meant in my case (excessive consumption of chocolate). I think having another person aware of your struggles adds to the accountability.

    My husband sort of knows. I usually don't binge in front of him, but when he knows I eat the wrong stuff, he says to me " you're not going to lose weight eating all that stuff" or you're eating all the wrong foods" things like that. It does not help.

    Nooo.... Well actually, one person knows. My ex. But I really don't think he knows the extent to which it has caused turmoil in my life. I try and keep it hidden because I am embarrassed about it. It seems sort of bizarre and shows weakness. I also prefer people to not know that I have food issues because I wouldn't want them to end up over-analyzing food themselves.
