So, while I was lying in bed, too sore to sleep (see other post), started thinking about how for the last ten years or so, since I left Weightwatchers and decided to give up dieting, I have really felt 'entitled' to eat whatever I want. Before that I had problems with compulsive eating/crash dieting/obsessiveness about food in general going back to my teens ... Oh yeah, the Atkins Diet - I did that the first time round, early 70s I think, so you won't find me queuing up for that again! Everything to do with food was surrounded with rules and every day was good or bad depending if I had obeyed the rules or not ...
Sorry, rambling, what I meant to say, was that I wonder how many of us have a history of eating disorders of any kind? I suppose even if lots of us do, it wouldn't prove any link as both IBS and eating disorders are so common, but it would be interesting to know ...
Anyway, it's pretty clear to me now that I am not 'entitled' to eat anything and from now on my gut is the boss whether I like it or not. I think there is a story about that I read somewhere ... I will try and find it and post ... Okay, I really am rambling now, probably time to see if I can go back to sleep. Goodnight ...
