Once I was sure I was calm enough I looked to the other nurse who had been watching me in awe. I said plainly, what medications were changed today?
My point is: it is useless to do anything but that which will benefit the moment. I treat my hunger attacks (read emotional binge attacks) the same. Where ever I am when it hits, I stop and feel my body. Is my stomach actually rumbling or is my throat tight? Is it real hunger or emotion? When it is emotion I can say to that inner voice screaming at me: Stop. I refuse to fight with the unreasonable and throwing food at will not solve the problem (though I would have loved to have thrown a pie in that woman's face)!!!
