Compulsive Overeating, Binge Eating Conference - Compulsive Overeating and Binge Eating Definitions

Written by HealthyPlace.com Staff Writer

Ceejay: Before this is over, I want to say that I admire your will and determination to overcome your problems with food. It gives me the hope that I needed tonight and a renewed will to fight. Thanks.

Glinda West: You are absolutely capable of this. I am no different from you.

cartoongirl: Health clubs and shrinks are capitalizing on your guilt and vanity. It's time for people to see that the real problem lies in prejudice and if society wants its people to be thin, then it had better demand more from genetic medicine! Society WANTS us to feel shame...it controls us...makes us spend money to fix us.

Glinda West: Forget about society, its too big to change. This is your only life. Be happy and work on yourself.

Diane: Even if you have the knowledge to eat normally, it doesn't mean you will do it on a daily basis.

Glinda West: I eat more on some days, less on others. The important thing is not how much I eat, but how much I think about food. Don't forget this.

Bob M: One last question from me tonight. Do you ever worry about slipping back into the overeating habits, or have the new regimens become ingrained...and this is the new you...the everyday you?

Glinda West: I know I will never "slip back" because there is no deprivation in how I eat. I am not drawn to food obsessively. I enjoy it. Anybody want to take me to dinner?

Bob M: I want to thank Glinda for coming tonight and sharing her experiences and knowledge with us. And thank you to everyone in the audience for participating. I hope you found the conference helpful and inspiring.

Glinda West: Thank you Bob for inviting me.

Bob M: Glinda's book can be purchased on her website. It's called "The Fat Fairygodmother's 5 Secrets to Being Thin Forever: End your Addiction to Food and Start Your Life". For more information go to the fatfairygodmother site

Glinda West: Goodnight, and know there is hope for all of you.

Bob M: Good Night everyone.
