Deprivation and insatiability go hand. When you are depriving yourself of something you really want and you finally get it, you want as much of it as you can get before it's taken away again. I think compulsive eating and bingeing are two very different things. I only binge when I'm trying to diet and starve my body. I eat compulsively when I'm not taking care of myself emotionally. You can't feed a feeling with food, but I think when I get to urge to eat when I'm not physically hungry or continue eating at a meal when I'm already satisfied, it's because I'm trying not to feel something.

I still haven't opened the magazine, but it stares at me from the coffee table every time I sit down to knit. I need to learn to knit and read at the same time – or put it on the nightstand, as most of my reading gets done before I go to sleep! Your post about the content is more tantalizing than the cover blurbs! Hi, yourself, Beth!
