i don't think i'd ever be able to "come out" to my husband. or anyone else really. i mean, saying it out loud makes it real and who needs that? *LOL* not to joke, this isn't funny... but I am so not ready for that. It is inspiring though to see other people who have lived through it.
The night I got a caramel apple empanada from Taco Bell & a Frosty from Wendy's & dipped the empanada in the Frosty, I told someone. It tasted sooo goood. I said, "Don't tell Rob I cheated on him with pie" But that is what it felt like. It's nice to know I am not the only one.
Now the thought of even doing this nauseates me a little.

Reason: posting from work, had to make it short first time
These posts make me think. Fortunately, I guess, Howie and I both struggle with this issue, so coming out isn't an issue for us. We tell each other when we've "been stupid" and there is no condemnation because we know how hard it is.
Here's a question for you. Do you really think people don't know you binge? Really? I suspect people know, but dance around the subject, trying to be kind. I think most know, if we want to be brutally honest. People don't become or stay morbidly obese by eating small portions of healthy food. I'm beginning to wonder if the only people we're fooling is ourselves sometimes, ya know?
You know, I've been reading this thread for awhile now and thinking I am not one of the bingers, but then I realized that I used to keep all kinds of stuff in my desk at work. It wasn't enough to just get a little bit once and a while, I would get bags of chocolate and then try to eat it all to get rid of the evidence.
Wow, it's amazing how delusional I can be! This has been an eye opener.
Good for you for coming clean. I think people know we eat a lot I don't think they would ever understand why. It is like a drug though. I can remember hitting three different fast food places one right after the other and just stuffing myself. I would binge in front of people too though so there was never really a secret why I was fat.
But that is what it felt like. It's nice to know I am not the only one.
