Explain to me the bingeing thing?

[Anonymous]

I don't get eating all of something even though you know it will either make you fat or make you ill. Someone explain it? Then again, I don't understand getting drunk or high either?

Why? What's the point?

Are you for real?

Yeah. I have my own self-destructive habits, trust me, but I've never done the above. I don't understand the point.

Since you do, enlighten me.

Explain to me the trolling thing?

I don't get posting rudely about a sensitive subject even though you know it will either upset people or make them angry. Someone explain it? Then again, I don't understand being rude in public or making deliberately provocative statements with friends either?

Why? What's the point?

You feel something better than your actual feelings for a little while. Not a binger, but I imagine that the taste of the food...feeling the sensations of it, smells, tastes, feeling of fullness...are a distraction from the emotions the person is feeling.

There are certain foods I really like, so I will eat too much of them, often too fast to notice how full I am until its too late. When I was younger, I used to throw up afterward. Now I try to limit the binging.

Getting drunk was fun in college but now I have no interest, though a light buzz is nice.

I have no other self-destructive habits.

What is the point of your self-destructive habits? That might help shed some light.

I binge eat. It makes me fat. But dieting to not be fat will take years. The enjoyment of eating good food is now. It's hard to put off pleasure now for pleasure in a few years.

I'm not saying that this is healthy or good, it's just the reality of my bad habits.

To feel good/relaxed/full/sated, even if temporarily. Duh.

Can anyone understand someone else's vice? Do I understand why someone wants to climb Everest? Why someone gambles away $30,000 in one sitting? Why someone shoots heroin? No, I don't. I don't understand jogging, for Christ's sake.

I wouldn't call jogging or climbing Everest a vice.

I can't think of anything more pointless than climbing Everest.

That third glass of wine, however, keeps me sane.

Food makes me happy. Food = Love in my house growing up. When I'm stressed or upset, I go for something that tastes good and I eat as much of it as I want because I want those good emotions that I get from food.

Climbing mountains probably keeps some people sane. Have you ever read Into Thin Air? That shit is real, yo.
