The words right and wrong carry with themselves moral connotations. And it is not uncommon for some people with a binge eating habit to defend it on moral grounds.

The assumption is that if we are not hurting anyone else, then it's OK for us to do whatever we want, including hurting ourselves.

Long standing binge eating habits hurt people. The proof is in the medical offices and morgues. Would it be right or wrong for you to end up with a chronic disease, or worse, as the consequence of binge eating?

If you do not end up with a physical disease, consider the psychological consequences of binge eating.

If you binge eat, then it is likely for you to routinely experience feelings such as regret, guilt and self-loathing

For binge eaters their emotional problems are only masked by pleasant tasting foods. They don't go away and continue to wait for a resolution. Binge eating makes it temporarily unnecessary to  face reality. Yet reality does not go away. And with each dodging manoeuvre it becomes even more difficult to face it the next time. And so binge eating escalates.

Fundamentally reality is impossible to escape. And waiting for the "right" time to begin facing it is an exercise in self deception. The belief that life will get easier if you wait long enough is false.

You have to do something about your unexamined painful feelings.  If you don't, they will do something to you, by taking you in self destructive directions that are even more unpleasant than where you are heading now.

This is a sobering message. But, it should be taken to heart. Begin the process of resolving your painful feelings as soon as possible.
