Trigger warning * writing about binge eating *
The 20 Mcnuggets, spicy burger, large fries, hot pie, Mcflurry all for Aimee PLUS the box of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts she bought yesterday PLUS all the high sugar snack food she bought from M*S for her home alone weekend that's not home alone anymore, all say to me Aimee is a Binge Eater. Plus there is absolutely no guarantee she has showed us all the binge food she has purchased or the full McDonald's order in fact. A binge eater on one has to really have a large stash of binge food ready for the next binge.
Having been in a therapy room some yrs ago with both over eating binge eaters and undereaters, each person issues are exactly the same it's just different for each person how they either overeat, binge, or eat then make themselves sick. I've sat in many therapy sessions where I met many many Aimees. Each time I see Aimee and her food hauls I am reminded of the many binge eaters I've met along the way. One who was not dissimilar to Aimee in many ways except she was a PE teacher who was also in charge of the teachers break room tuck shop. Looking at her you'd have never ever guessed she was a binge eater. Aimees adhoc shopping style which she ridiculously blames on not knowing what she wants for tea is another tell tale sign of a binge eater. They need to regularly top up their binge food. Aimee could easily do larger shops and freeze their. Favourite foods, but. That wouldn't enable the purchasing of more binge food.
People always so ohhh but you don't look like a binge eater. It's crazy just how "normal" many binge eaters look. It's their actions that give it away.
Aimees recent snacks for the weekend haul and her large junk food tea reminds me of so many binge eaters that I've met. So many! Aimee is trying to normalise very abnormal eating. She buys food for at leaat a family of four when there is only one.adult.and and and one small child.
We never see her binging on the masses of high sugar, high carb food she buys several times a week but she repeatedly tells us her cupboards are empty. It's not rocket science.
Aimee has cunningly turned food, one of her emotional crutches, into a source of income online and daily tries to normalise the amount of crap she buys to binge on. I wonder if her family see the reality of what she's doing to herself.
Goodness knows what serious damage she is doing to her 9 yr old daughter who will be seeing alot of her mothers excessive relationship with food and thinking it's normal.
Here a great place to help Aimee
