When I first started overeating, I would eat so much it would hurt and then I would eat some more. It really was very much like suicide. I hated myself and this was a way to express it. It’s a hard thing to relive, but it will heal my mind to resolve the issue. I have no desire to eat like that any more.

i eat for life but i really enjoy eating though… sometimes when i have something special that i don’t have every day i eat so much that it hurts too… but usually i take small portions.
I eat because I love food but that’s not to say I don’t love life.
I meant only overeating was a death wish. Normal eating is not a death wish.
I try to eat for enjoyment, and weight loss. Hopefully that is fine.
But I’ve used eating as an unhealthy coping mechanism for so long. I hope I will be OK. But I just don’t know!
My problem is upstairs neighbor makes it hard to cook. Also making me sick, so I eat more processed food, which isn’t good.
I was so tense about it, my jaw was stiff.
I personally would not call it a death wish though. Because it wasn’t.
Maybe to you it was
That’s right. I’m only referring to myself.
I’ve got a weird condition where I’m never full, so that doesn’t help. Also doesn’t help that I like to enjoy my food so I can’t live on shredded lettuce.
After awhile, my stomach went numb to feeling full, too. Since then, it has regained its feeling. Now, I could not eat like I used to.
Both really, everyone eats and everyone will eventually die.
I meant like dying of a split stomach.
No, I am not depressed. Eating is fun but I wish I could lose weight.
I probably eat for death my diet is mostly fast food and unhealthy things
I think I eat for death. My father and his people make the food here. It tastes good, there is seldom anything healthy. But I have no control over it. I eat too often too.
It was Benjamin Franklin who said “Eat to live; don’t live to eat.”

I used to just eat to stay alive.
I’ve gotten better at eating when I’m hungry - and stopping when I’m not.
My grandfather always said the key to a long life is not to eat untill you’re full, just until you’re no longer hungry.
