Words to Argue, Noodles to Slurp

April 25, 2011 eating out

I am kind of overwhelmed (in a good way) by all your sincere responses to my last ED post. I always knew bingeing is a problem most people (not just in recovery) struggle with from time to time, but I didn’t realize how strongly it might resonate with someone just by sharing it out loud. [...]

The Past

August 20, 2010 eating disorders
