When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

Binging was a huge problem for me too, but the scariest part for me was that I was a closet eater, much like many women with EDs are.
I would eat a normal meal -- not even something particular healthy, just a normal meal -- with family and then I would sneak around all evening pigging out. I did this up until a year ago or so, really. I hid food from boyfriends, roommates.
One time I was living with girls in college and eating something quickly in the kitchen before someone came out of their bedroom... I remember that moment because I was 220 lbs trying to re-start my diet... and my roommate walked out of her room, saw me eating and I JUMPED. She scared the crap out of me -- and I remember her saying, "Are you SUPPOSED to be eating that?"
That stung. I'll never forget that; totally caught.
It was really hard for me to break that habit when I lived alone for the last few years because there was NO ONE around to catch me. GG saw my old apt -- I was ground level, so when those blinds were shut, I was ALWAYS hidden. I had to keep the blinds open because at least that would keep me from worrying what the neighbors would think as I scarfed two (yes TWO) super size fast food meals with a pint of ice cream for dinner some nights.
It was bad.
Makes me sad to think I used to live like that... now I genuinely LOVE food and am not ashamed to say it now that I finally have control over it -- not vice versa.
