What’s scary? Going to extremes

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live - Dorothy Thompson

I fear that if I get too good at losing weight, I will convert my binge eating disorder into anorexia.

Yikes. I couldn’t lose weight when I had binge eating disorder. I’m losing it 1-2 pounds a week, now. I don’t let myself cut back on eating too much, or go too low-fat, and I exercise my ass off (for emotional maybe more than physical reasons), and I try to be nicer to myself so that I don’t comfort myself with food.

I suppose I have other ways to soothe myself that maybe aren’t so appropriate, but they’re not fattening, and probably not too unhealthy.
