I wish I knew which need I have...yin or yang. Lately, my overeating problem has become an INSATIABLE appetite. Notice how I didn't say hunger: I don't ever feel hungry, but I eat, and continue to eat out of desire. Satisfaction is slipping away, and nothing seems to cure it (i.e.=nothing is leaving me satisfied) I'm always craving more food, but not because i'm hungry...it's from some other need...one I can't figure out. The funny thing is, i'll eat too much for many reasons, not just one (say, loneliness). Happy, Sad, Lonely, Nervous, Relaxed...I can never seem to stop until it hurts (especially at night). The funny thing is i'm still extremely skinny! I eat only macrobiotic quality food, but too much of it for sure! I take in NO alcohol, refined sugar, simple carbohydrates, processed foods...
I need some guidance, because its starting to really bother me. I have constant gas, my stomach feels bloated, i'm not smiling as much and I cant focus, i dont sleep well...
Do i enjoy food too much??? I'm always excited to cook and eat...probably more than anything else that happens in the day...i'm constantly thinking about food, cooking, macrobiotics...I usually fix it by fasting until dizzy (usually about 2/3 of a day it takes), but then i get right back into overeating. As if a single bite of food triggers this ravenous desire to stuff my gut full of food. AAHHH! HELP!
