Does anyone else feel this way?

You are not alone in that ....   when we are triggered logic and common sense does not come into play IMO. I have been eating things knowing that i am not hungry ... it is not needed and yet sometimes continue instead of just putting food away.   I now talk aloud to myself that i am not eating from hunger but from ________ insert reason.... mine is often boredom or anger 

 If we think about it we see it is self destructive and makes no sense .....if we are struggling with weight but also are adding to it.... we tell ourselves things like we do not care but later are mad we are not happy in the mirror. Many do not understand until they go thru something similar  themselves.

It happens in various forms a person struggling with money who buys impulse purchases is another example or a student having issues with grades not studying til last minute and procrastinating learning the material and wonders why test went badly.      

I can relate to this. I've been going through almost all eating disorders. From binging to anorexia and currently bulimia in terms of binging and then purging through fasting/low restriction. Today was a binge day. Whenever I obsess too much about my looks, because I have a bad body image, etc. I go into binge-mode. Like the reply before me said its some kind of self-destruction, whenever we obsess with something too much it's the only thing clouding our mind. In these moments it'd be better to get our minds off of it, look for a new interest/hobby,... But it's hard when you're stuck in that headspace. I see you and I relate to you.
