Summary
It's hard when you try to talk with someone about your binge eating and they clearly don't understand it at all. You may feel misunderstood and alone.

In this episode, I'm talking about how to deal with it all. We can't force people to understand us, so I'm going to show you what you can do so you can feel better. No matter who understands, you don't have to feel so alone.
