Not bingeing: more than not-dieting

May 10, 2013

A short post today as I’m just continuing on from last week’s post, Approaching Normal, in which I talked about different streams of thought in terms of therapy (with respect to eating issues, in this particular case).

Happy No Diet Day! If you’re anything like me you’re probably thinking, ‘Huh?’ But it’s true… in case you were wondering: 6 May, is No Diet Day, which is perfectly timed given my recent post about the fact that I’m neither dieting, nor am I not-dieting (which for me has traditionally meant bingeing!).
