hi.

i didn't notice you were back (yay, welcome back!)

as for your question, i don't see my food eating as a coping method- i do it because i'm just really bad at binging, and most of the time i don't even know how much i've eaten- i'll say to myself i'll eat a couple cookies for example, then before i know it i've eaten 5 boxex

not sure about it helping me cope
