I feel like every time I post I start it by acknowledging that it's a stupid question...definitely unworthy ha argh!
Anyway - So, I was just wondering, do others think gorging on sweets until you feel sick, really sick, is self-harm? I believe it's definitely a self-soothing behavior, but one that goes really wrong :(. I went as far as kicking ALL sweets for 6 weeks, and I felt good, even lost some weight (I'm probably 10- 20 lbs over weight, not bad, but could be better with a bad knee and ankle).
Anyway, it starts with I eat something sweet, say when I'm stressed, and then it quickly gets out of control and I feel like I can't stop until I literally feel sick or that I'm going to be sick.
Does that make sense to anyone?
