Normal eating is giving yourself permission to eat sometimes because you are happy, sad or bored, or just because it feels good  nonononononono. Normal eating is learning how to tell what hunger and satiation feel like, because the West has long lost sight of those feelings for many people. We eat based on a clock and a plate size, not natural queues. Normal eating is learning when to stop so as to not feel stuffed. It's learning to stop whilst still a little peckish if you need a deficit.  You cannot trust your body to make up for your mistakes in eating, because you have so thoroughly confused your body that it is no longer able to send accurate signals.
