So, there's something called comfort-eating. That's what my mother used to struggle with, comfort-eating, then purging afterward.
With comfort-eating, you combat the emotions with food. When you're upset or sad... like a coping mechanism.
I do something similar. Except, when I'm upset, I eat less than I normally do. Or rather, I eat nothing.
I'm scared to weigh in tomorrow. I skipped it last Sunday, so it's been two weeks since I had been five pounds over my starting weight. I'm scared that I might be still at the same weight, or under. This week has been a bit difficult. I've been eating, but I haven't been eating the amount of calories I'm told to eat. And I'm back into this comfort-starving.
