FOOD TO FREEDOM

Dieting and bingeing hold hands... for ever and ever

I recently blogged it is crucial to stop dieting to get out of compulsive overeating. I know how sensitive this issue is for many of you; therefore I will regularly come back to it. When I look at magazines, the number of diets that promise success in controlling weight appalls me. As a compulsive overeater, you can find yourself trying anything out of despair because you don’t know where to turn to, because dieting gives you a feeling of "control", because you absolutely MUST do something to lose weight.

Dieting and bingeing are one. They go hand in hand along the path of madness. It is a love and hate relationship that cannot stop unless dieting is abandoned forever.

Are you on a diet?

To stop bingeing, stop dieting!

Stop dreaming that with a diet, you’ll stop bingeing. I am talking about the diet you just started because spring or autumn is here and/or you look with envy at all these skinny women in the mags. Or is it because you are going to your brother’s or cousin’s wedding next month and you need to loose a few pounds to look your best?
