Binge eating. We've all participated in it, some more frequently than others, but why? I know for everyone it's different; for some shoving oreos down their throats is the only way to squelch their anxiety. Word to the hungry: Do not attempt to suppress feelings with food and here's why.
1.) First and most importantly, it will not work. You may finish off that entire row of fig newtons and you will still feel just as empty as you did pre-newton coma.
2.) You will feel worse after than you did before. Think about it-- you're feeling insecure, you're unhappy, and all of a sudden you realize you've just ingested a few hundred unwanted calories. You start thinking about how many hours you'll have to run at the gym, how many cycling classes you'll have to suffer through and realize that even after all that, you'll only be able to drink water and a glass of milk for the next three weeks. All of a sudden you've got thighs on the mind. Thighs that aren't even welcomed in your "fat jeans". . . how exactly is that making you feel any better about yourself?
3.) It will become a habit and that habit will result in a lifestyle change. Ever heard of that little problem I like to call obesity? DON'T DO IT! PUT DOWN THOSE COOKIES! THAT ICE CREAM! THOSE MARSHMALLOWS! IF THEY'RE IN YOUR MOUTH RIGHT NOW, SPIT 'EM OUT! You're not making anything better, you're only making it worse. What if all of a sudden every little bump in the road turns into an excuse to polish of some Häagen-Dazs?! THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR BINGE EATING (except birthdays and major holidays because that isn't I-Hate-Myself binge eating... that's happy gluten.)
At the end of the day I'm not a nutritionist, I'm not suggesting that you never indulge or that you count calories religiously, nor do I actually care what you ingest because it's your body not mine. But I would like for that fat Americans reputation to dissipate (honestly, I think a lot of Europeans are just as bad. Just because you're fat from delicious food doesn't mean that your fat is any better than our fat... oh wait, yes it does.) Deal with your anxiety another way because I'm sick and tired of hearing about how so-and-so "just ate a jar of peanut butter lol."
