Compulsive Overeating Diary | Living With Binge Eating Disorder

When faced by food temptation do you go right away to plan Binge? Bitch? or Plan "Be"? Laurie hikes in front of gathering storm clouds and muses about this new idea. It came to her from a comment typo she made on her friend's blog. It's also bravery day! Laurie asks all of you to give her a call or a comment and bravely share a bit of your lives. Shout-out to Jodi and Crystal, who have shared a bit already. Laurie includes all of her main theme, I’m Letting Go, by Josh Woodward from The Simple Life Part 1 at the end of this episode as a bonus.

Laurie struggles up the mountain to her upper Zen place to emotionally pull the plug on her other podcast, Daily Adventure Tales, deal with the internal fall-out, and muse about expectations, disappointments and dealing with the compulsion to cover them with food. Also, she gives a shout-out to the supporters of Compulsive Overeating Diary and remembers painful times from her past.

When Laurie's awesome plan to record during a hike, Zen-like, from the mountain-top, derails due to technical difficulties, she climbs down the mountain and into the comfort of her hammock back home where she muses about exercise bulimia, the nature of binges and how to come back from one.

Today's walk is all about truths we hide from ourselves. What's under the drive to fill our guts with food? Laurie tackles the question by taking a hard look at her people pleasing and the resulting rage, her relationships and why she may have kept on re-gaining weight.

Yay for us pathetic folk! Pathetic is the new cool. Pathetic or not, here I come! At least that's what Laurie tells herself as she struggles with her feelings while huffing and puffing around the local park. She feels proud for releasing this hellishly embarrassing episode, because she didn't weasel out and stop from showing how she truly felt, which was sad, needy, pathetic and out of breath. She also tells about her Skype call with her friend Cheryl. Reaching out is always good when you are feeling pathetic or are otherwise in a bad place. Take that pathetic!

Laurie overcomes an overwhelming compulsion to weasel out of exercise class and ponders what's under her weaseling-out instinct. Then she attempts to visit Trader Joe's while hungry. Will she sabotage herself ? Also, iTunes comes through and her husband surprises her in an emotional way.
