Eating Problems

Eating should be the simplest thing in the world. Feel hunger, eat, feel full, stop. But for you it has long ceased to be that simple. Perhaps you eat without being hungry — mechanically, driven, as though filling a hole that never becomes full. Perhaps you count every calorie, every gram, every bite, as though your body were an enemy you have to keep in check. Perhaps you swing between both poles — between excess and deprivation, between craving and rigidity, without ever arriving at a middle ground.
