I use the CW for fasting commentary so as not to stress out folks with eating disorders (though my Ramadan experiment was different), but I'm starting to realize that I do have *one* disordered behaviour of my own:
Binging like a squirrel in the fall, after a stressful run-in with someone on the street.
Yesterday a neighbour I don't know burst into tears at me, while I was coming home with groceries. His mother had just died, and he tried to latch onto me in grief.

Amid his sobbing I made out that he saw me on the street being so nice, and couldn't I please just sit with him for a while because he had no one and his mum had just died, and he didn't know what he was going to do about all the costs.
Now, I got myself out of that mess with great courtesy for a clearly struggling human being...
But then I went home and just ate and ate.
And I've done this before. Not a useful coping mechanism!
So, I have some work to do on myself.

There are much worse coping mechanisms. Now that you've coped, I have no doubt you will be back to your nutritional discipline in no time :)
