[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't understand people who binge like this. And I particularly don't understand how they do it with no thought to anyone else in their household who might like some of whatever it is that they just polished off. No snark, is this mental illness?[/quote]

It might be. My husband and I grew up in large poorer families. You had to scarf anything that was good or a treat down right away, otherwise you didn't get to have any. These habits are hard to shake. I can self regulate just fine if I know no one else can eat it, so I hide things I want to eat slowly (sweets or nuts usually). [/quote]

Thank you for this. My father squirreled away nuts and candy, and things we didn’t have any interest in. He grew up poor and under great stress/neglect. This helped provide context.

I don’t think this is always why people hide things, but it was helpful to read. We tuck more appealing treats behind healthier options so kids don’t plow through them. Especially during lunchbox packing season. [/quote]
