I read... a book I need to read:
"...the reasons we don't fully understand, those of us who are compulsive eaters choose food. Not because of its taste. Not because of its texture or its color. We want quantity, volume, bulk. We need it - a lot of it - to go unconscious. To wipe out what's going on. The unconsciousness is what's important, not the food."
Wow. When I hear that I feel so sad that I spend my life wishing for unconsciousness. That is not living.
i feel this way a lot too. not that i do it on purpose, just that i do it. would you please share the title of the book. thanks!!

I can't wait to get it... I need some more food/body books right now. Interesting how they always come when you need them.
