Throwing food away!!!!!!!!!!!
| Fri, 12-26-2003 - 6:57pm |
I grew up somewhat poor. I mean, we always had food and a warm place to sleep, but we never were allowed to waste. I have always had the hardest time throwing food away. I am learning to do that though. If I make something that my family doesn't really end up liking and I know of no one who would want it, I have to throw it away. It is the hardest thing to do for me. But if I dont, I feel this overwhelming urge to eat it all and purge later on. Doesn't that sound crazy? It doesn't even matter if it is that good to me. It is one of my little hang-ups, I have been really working on lately. I find that eliminating my triggers, helps keep me on track. Even if it does seem wasteful.

I hate wasting food, too, but in my opinion our recovery is more important than wasting food. Today I threw something away as well that I had actually made for myself. But I seem to be PMSing and found myself snackign away on it and I knew I had to get rid of it so I did.
I am glad you were able to share that here and that you are taking care of yourself.
