As we complete our last assignment on the phenomenon of the Physical Craving in weeks 5 and 6, we take a deeply clarifying look at the 3 kinds of Compulsive eaters: the moderate eater, the hard eater and the real compulsive eater. To self-qualify as a compulsive eater, I must have both the physical craving and the mental obsession. I ask myself...
Which One Am I?
Am I a REAL Compulsive Eater?
Do I expereince a craving for more once I take the first compulsive bite?
Do i find myself eating, purging or restricting compulsively again despite my best laid plans?
We also get a beam of hope as we begin to uncover that There is Solution. In this chapter, in addition to our transcriptions this week, we are asked to review the 12 steps of recovery in How It Works (P.59) and consider these 2 questions:
Is this what I want to do?
Am I willing to go to any length to do this?
