Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live

radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on serious

XM Triumph 111. Debbie, welcome to the program.

Hi Dr. Laura, how are you today?

Excellent, thank you.

First off, I just want to thank you for everything you do.

Your guidance has made me a better wife and mother. So thank you for that.

My question today is I'm a very high control, get things done, kind of a person, you know, on a schedule.

And one of the things that I'm highly controlled over is what I eat. I'm a really healthy

eater four days of the week. And then every week, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, it's like I lose my mind when it comes to my eating.

I'm sure it's somewhat of an eating disorder. I don't cause myself to throw up, but I can't stop the binge.

I just eat. And so I wonder if you can give me some guidance as to why I'm so like opposite, like so controlled most of the week and then so completely feeling like I have no control when it comes to like

the weekends I'll tell you why I'll tell you why I'll tell you why I'll tell you why you

you are a mean parent to you for four days.

You have to do this, you have to do that, and you have to be organized, it has to be right,

and you can only have this and you can't have that,

and you have to be a good girl, responsible or hey you have to but this is the way you have to do it

and then it's like the parents went to Paris and they're on the plane and there's no Wi-Fi.

And the evil little child in you goes,

the hell with you! It's like you're two people that you're

two people that you're responding to.

So, that's why. So what how do I do I can realize that neither is very healthy so how do you
