You’re talking about eating too many calories, I’m talking about overeating and binging. They are related, but not the same. It is absolutely binging to eat broccoli to the point where you feel sick and can’t sleep and contemplate making yourself vomit (speaking from experience here), even if calorie-wise it’s less than a donut.
- cudgy 6y agoTrue in some cases, but most people are not willing to eat to the point of suffering and will adjust to avoid this. I remember eating a 16” pizza once as a kid and lying in the car afterwards feeling sick, but I never did it again to that extent. Leaving ned a valuable lesson ... still love pizza though ... gluten-free pizza that is. Food has a different purpose in your state than enjoyment and taste. Did you have siblings that stole your food as a kid? Any ideas why the compulsion to fill your stomach to that point?
- slothtrop 6y agoBroccoli is not a "trigger food". That's usually simple carbs, sugar, fat. These facilitate binge-eating in every way. I don't think binge-eating is defined specifically as eating to the point of it being painful, it's overeating to the extent it's habitual and difficult to stop.
