I have been going through a pretty stressful time lately, my best friend has been going through some pretty awful medical issues, we are still waiting to hear the final results but have been told to 'expect' the diagnosis to be cancer. I'm still hanging onto the hope it is something else still, but it's still very scary.
I've found the situation has been bringing back a few old disordered eating habits. I am bingeing, albeit small scale and sometimes feel like purging and restricting heavily. I'm doing pretty well with ignoring most of these feelings but I seem to have developed a new bizarre way of handling them.
It occurred to me when I buy my binge/purge food most of the time, by the time I've gone and bought it I don't really feel like eating it-But I do cause what else am I gonna do with it? It occurred to me a while ago to chuck it all on top of the kitchen cabinets where I can't see/reach it. I forgot it was even up there... So I've taken to essentially buying binge food and chucking it up there. I thought I'd just about covered all the dysfunctional eating habits but I've never done this before now!
Does anyone else do this? I guess it is better than eating a tonne of chocolate and candy but I'm not sure what to do with it long term (aka when I run out of space
). I can't decide if this is weird or actually quite a good idea.
