30 Bananas a Day!

I have been having troubles thinking of what to write for a blog on here. Well, after what had just went through today, I feel like I know what to write now.

I grew up eating regular meals, which for me was vegetables, potatoes (mashed, or scallop) and meat as the main part of the dish. I had lived this way for a long time. As a teenager I started snacking a lot. Which turned into emotional eating. Although I never connected the two. After high school, I had moved out on my own. Eating anything I could afford was my goal. I still never knew I was an emotional eater. After living on my own for a couple of years and eating whatever I could, I moved back home. Still not eating on a proper healthy diet, I ended up eating more snacks. I was eating more junk food than healthy food.

It took some time, but I started thinking something wasn't right. I had talked to my doctor and he sent me to a dietitian. My dietitian has told me that I have Binge Eating Disorder (a.k.a. Compulsive Overeating Disorder). I have only been to see my dietitian twice, I only go once a month. I don't know how much it is helping though. I've really only noticed more of my emotional eating. Especially today, after eating lunch, I ended up feeling so guilty that I crawled back into bed and cried. I had lost all motivation to do anything. The only thing that got me to stop crying and out of bed was talking to a friend.

I have also come to a conclusion that the thing I fear most now is food. It is taking over my life. I'm getting to the point where I am afraid to eat.

If anyone has any tips on how to help me, that would be great.

You need food, and enough to live well and happy. Forget about anything else. Fruit is the healthiest food there is. Eat fruit, and don't despair. Relax. Have fun with friends, and invite them too to eat fruit.

There is no junk food, there is food and there is junk. Clear distinction.
