Cheers!
That being said, yoga is about union, or relationships. An example would be body/mind, body/environment, etc. What we eat has an impact on our external and internal environment (psychological and physiological state)... meaning it effects our relationships as well as being a part of how we relate. The heart of Yoga is "mind control," which essentially boils down to awareness. Food controls your mind (literally there are chemical reactions that take place when you smell and eat your food), and once you are aware of what you are eating and the direct impact that has on you, the more free you become. This in turn is the aim of the asana practice, Mokshana.
Be well and good luck on your presentation.
Thank you so much for the comment, I relate to so much of what you said. Although for me, this distructive eating pattern has only been going for about four years now I still look back and think that that's an awfully long time to waste. I binged for the first time in over a month yesterday after recieving some frigtening news about a friend over the phone. It's a horrible feeling to not be over this. At this point I guess I just don't know where to turn. I want to tell a friend or a family member but I don't even know how to bring it up or how they would react so for now I'm just trying to get it under control on my own. Anyways, just wanted to say that I really appreciate you sharing a piece of yoru story with me. Good luck with everything and take care.

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply to your comment. I never intended to put you in uncomfortable position. I agree, talking about thes types of issues is far from easy. Talking about things that we've learned to keep such a deep dark secret for so many years is defintely new and can be difficult. I have too wondered if an obsession with staying raw can contribute to such types of eating disorders which is why I've lately tried taking a more relaxed approach to the whole thing. I don't buy cooked foods and I don't heat the food I make but if I do go out to eat or something then I don't obsess or feel guilty if I eat something that has been cooked. It's all about serving my body and I think eating a diet that's so high in raw food is a great fit. I hope you're raw journey is going well and that you know you have the group if you ever do feel like sharing something or getting some feedback would beneficial for you. Take care!
