The failure of the Binge/diet cycle.

I recently finished Angry Fat Girlz by Frances Kuffel. The book is about five women and how over a year they attempt to lose weight, gain weight and tried to stop emotional eating (with gaining weight as their only success). I spoke to the author while she wrote the book and she reminded me of myself 10 years ago. At the time, I got that it was okay to be fat (although not too fat)  but I was still dieting and binging, still blaming myself if I "cheated". Food was no longer fuel for my body...
