I wanted to follow your blog but it doesn’t look like you acknowledge the fact that binge eating disorder/compulsive overeating disorder actually… I completely recognize that these are real and very serious eating disorders.It’s sometimes hard to find good, legitimate posts pertaining to these disorders, and I don’t have the knowledge or experience to be able to provide much information on them.
