Tossed cookies...

Growing up, I always had a changing relationship with food.  I would think that a lot of my habits and thinking about it was normal because it didn't meet the criteria of an eating disordered so I figured I was probably fine, right? I know there are eating disorders (like the well-known anorexia and bulimia), but what about the other people that struggle with different types of food issues?  I like to call the other eating issues eating dysfunctions.  I'm talking about chronic dieters, emotional
eaters, extreme exercisers, health-food junkies, yo-yo dieters, etc.  This makes up more of the common eating struggles that people battle with. 

I have struggled with my fare share of eating dysfunctions.  My most memorable moment was when I was alone at home while my husband was away on a weekend fishing trip.  I was bored.  I was lonely.  I was... hungry!  I love to bake so I headed upstairs to make some chocolate cookies.  I sampled the dough as I made it... to make sure it was good enough.  Then I decided I had eaten too much cookie dough so I better make some actual cookies and put the dough away so I won't be tempted to eat it all.  After I had taken out the cookies, I ate one before it cooled.  I ate two after they cooled.  I ate another one while deciding what I should store them in.  Then I went back to the cookie sheet and realized only 1/2 of the cookies I made were left.  I got so mad at myself for losing control.  I somehow decided that the best way to deal with this was to get rid of them.  ... No I did not throw them in the trash.
