A food plan involves white knuckling just like a diet does. Bingeing is just a way for me to not be mindful or present. But I could just as easily use any substance to do that. Food is just affordable and readily available. I can keep the junk food out of the house, but really I'll binge on whatever is available.
Anyone else have an thoughts or insight on this?

Bingeing is about numbing for me too. Personally I think trying to deal with whatever you are numbing yourself from is the best way to go. For me that means childhood trauma so I'm going to therapy.
