Sometimes it ' s not about the recognition . It ' s about the personal significance of a tattoo . <| sep |> But that is just not the case for everyone . I maintain a BMI of around 18 at the moment and I look after what I eat , but if I just let go I can easily put away 5000 6000 calories in a day if not more . If I really binge and I used to binge before I started to get my eating under control I easily make it to the 10 . 000 kcals . Some people just don ' t have a reliable hunger . EDIT That doesn ' t mean that everybody should do that . In the end we are all in control of our actions and we can choose to control our eating . I just dislike the mindset that everyone who can eat more than 2500 when they are indulging is automatically gorging themselves or doing something wrong .
