As I shovelled a slice of cheese pizza into my mouth, I was already reaching for a handful of chips dripping in salt and vinegar. When I’d finished with the pizza, my stomach was telling me to stop – but I couldn’t. I pulled a veggie burger out of its wrapper and munched every morsel until I felt sick, washing it down with sugary fizzy drink. The nausea was overwhelming – and so was the guilt. You see, when it came to food, I couldn’t fight the urge to binge, even if it made me unwell. And it wasn’t just food.
