I just saw on the View (my favorite talk show) that 'binging' is on the rise across America. This isn't anorexia - where you don't eat all, or bulimia, where you eat and then barf... binging is where you stuff your face for up to hours - nonstop.
I did this today because a nice Polish bakery sent us Potzky's - a hugh donut with cream or jelly in the middle. There were boxes of them for every show at the station, including the Tom Leykes Show which is funny since they are based in Los Angeles. I avoided them all day, during breaks I even went into the kitchen to get water and AVOIDED them. Finally after a small lunch I caught myself walking down the hall, hoping Tom, the office grouch, would stop me. But he didn't. I even announced to Thelma that I was going down there (pointing to the kitchen) and she said "Oh well I already had one!" but I knew I wasn't going to stop at one, and guess what? I didn't. I simply decided to cut some in half and then eat them all.
Very quickly. Terry caught me back in my office afterwards and I tried to explain it to him, but he's given up sugar because he has "the sugar" so he wasn't sympathetic and he left laughing at me. I left work shortly afterwards and went boot shopping. I figure no matter how much I ate my feet would still fit in boots..
I binge therefore I am.
