Disgusting greedy fuck ups...? Well, to be sure that's an aspect of humanity, but there's much more to it than that. Bulimia is a disorder, not a moral deficiency. I fuck up a lot, that doesn't make me a fuck up intrinsically.

I think you're taking that too personally. And you're also taking it as a comment against bulimics, which it isn't. Its a thrashing out at dependency on food...something I'm guessing is common here & something which I hate battling with.

Personally? Well, I am a human being, last time I looked, haha.
I often wish we didn't need food to live, that one innocuous pill would do the trick so I wouldn't be presented with the dilemma every time I felt hungry. It would be a lot easier.

I don't see dependency on food as a bad thing. It's necessary to stay alive.

Dependecy on throwing food up is a different matter.

i think bulimia is a lot more than the casualty of an inability to say no....

but i do question the obsession our society has with food as a celebration.

*sigh* I was just having a rant, not dissecting this crappy disorder that's got such a hold on me.

But I'm glad you got the point about the obsession...I can't think of any mass celebration we have these days that doesn't have food at its core. They're times of stress for me, not celebration!

Me too. I hate the fact that I allow food to have so much control over me all the time.


I'm bingeing on chocolate and leftovers. i feel you, it sucks. And yet I also refuse to stop.

I can't get chocolate up, either. It must dissolve...or cling to the sides of your stomach with desperation.

Except Oreos. Those usually make a return appearance.

I think its something to do with it sticking. This is TMI, but my boyfriend used the toilet after I'd managed to purge some chocolate the other week, & thought someone had used it with really bad stomach problems as the chocolate had left what looked like terrible skid marks in the pan. From what I managed to get up today, it did the same (though thankfully I noticed before someone else saw this time!).

I love how it says "and friends" on the box.
As if the evil chocolate monster brought along some buddies.

Celebrations revolve around food because food is meant to be seen as something good, nourishing and enjoyable. I'm trying really hard to see it as enjoyable nourishment instead of a tool for self-destruction.
