I've also gone through those ups and downs! Yes, it IS better to eat regularly. Of course. But it's not easy when you have a poor relationship with food. And it's not something one can even comprehend unless you've experienced some kind of eating disorder - it simply isn't in your frame of reference to understand. I know, Sir G doesn't relate to it at all - he's NEVER had a problem with food or eating ... Anyway, there has to be a way out of the cycle ... I'll keep going till I find it :-) There’s definitely truth to that. I’ve also gone through those ups and downs!

I have exactly the same problem, but I love him too much to say goodbye just yet. I would love to know how to stop overeating, but I think I damaged my body's control and stop functions after years of eating disorders. So I am thinking the cookie monster will be my friend for a while! Uh, I love the cookie monster, please don’t kill him?!
