It Doesn't Matter What I Weigh

It doesn't!?!?!?!??!?
From the perspective of being a compulsive overeater, it doesn't matter what I weigh. The number on the scale is not the most important thing.
For a compulsive overeater who is living in recovery mode, the very most important thing, the top priority is to not abuse food. Not eating compulsively or thoughtlessly. That means, not absentmindedly taking extra bites while cooking, not eating little bits of cake just to even out the jagged cutting line, and not getting a hamburger and fries just to calm nerves or relieve stress. Has anybody beside me ever any of these things?
When we as compulsive overeaters have that raging desire to eat and eat and eat, even when you are not hungry, even when it is embarrassing, even when you know it is unhealthy, under control, then controlling our weight will not be a real issue. The numbers on the bathroom scales will within a healthy weight range! Yes!
