Whenever I mention this, I find that others will say, "Me, too."<br /><br />In my case, i would say not bingeing but enjoying with great abandon for the sugary and fatty foods. I never ate so much that I made myself sick. I just ate a lot and enjoyed it!<br /><br />Chocolate is a favorite of mine, too, and I am keeping that in my food repertoire - a piece of dark chocolate is a nice treat!Karen Ashley Greenstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656249405767308865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8351254448680893221.post-28047401721934015462010-06-19T19:05:39.277-07:002010-06-19T19:05:39.277-07:00My mother was also an alcoholic, starting with a t...My mother was also an alcoholic, starting with a traumatic childhood experience. Later, she switched to prescription pain killers. I realized a few years ago that I was an adult child of an alcoholic and how that impacted my life. <br />As far as sweets and sugary foods...did you just enjoy them with great abandon or was it bingeing? <br />Sometimes I catch myself in emotional eating, but try to contain it. My weakness is chocolate, of course. My mother and I used to talk about addictions, but I am not sure that I am actually addicted to carbs...but maybe.Deborah Samshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224016179452566207noreply@blogger.com
