    • Close Food Addiction

      I currently feel betrayed by my body. Every inch tells me I need to binge. I sometimes, lately binge fiercly twice a month-PMS and Ovulation time. I so badly crave sugar, fat, and caffeinne. I recognize the emotional aspect of my bingeing, but the cravings that are hormonal are so intense that I will die without 8 packages of cookies and 3 lbs of chocolate. I've been bulimic for many years and I've been recovered for many years. Why, at this age,37, are these cravings coming back to haunt me?
