It is a casually destructive thing. While it doesn't have the immediate destructive effects that anorexia and bulimia have, down the line it can cause heart disease, obesity, diabetes, ect. It's so mentally tiring too. I hope one day she gets the strength to control her relationship with food. It's perhaps one of the hardest things in the world, because it stems from so many other factors.
I can't lie, I still sometimes overeat to the point that I get physically sick. I hate doing it to myself, but sometimes it's just so hard to get yourself in control. I am very envious of you to be able to resist falling into the same cycle as your family. I grew up watching my father binge eat and my mother constantly fat talk, and it's worn thin on me. I love my family completely, but it's really hard to be in this house sometimes.
And Pete's gif sadly goes along with almost every post I make... It was not intentional!
I guess what I'm trying to say is when it comes to breakfast time, I eat. I have a snack if I'm hungry. Then when lunchtime comes around I eat whatever is for lunch. Same for dinner.
I never just pointlessly go to the fridge or cupboard to look inside and see what's in there. If I go to look for food I grab food. Otherwise if I go there and grab nothing I'm only going to look again five seconds later and think I'm even more hungry. It's only my mind playing tricks on me, making me think I'm hungrier than I really am.
