Thanks for commenting. Actually, I think that they are BOTH physiological AND psychological. Unfortunately, the weight loss industry has focused solely on the psychological aspects.

I think it has to do with the gluttony is a sin thing from way back. Once we get over that idea, I think we’ll be able to find the REAL reasons behind eating disorders.

I can’t begin to understand what it’s like to feel the urge to vomit or binge. While I do over-eat at times, I wouldn’t categorize it as binging, and the thought of vomiting makes be shutter. I do appreciate your insight on the topic, though.

I have a comment on your post. You said that if someone tells you to stop binging, it makes you “want to do it even more”. In the next paragraph, you wrote that you think it’s a physiological response.

These two ideas seem to contradict one another. Maybe I’m not understanding what you wrote.
