Just recently one of my friends (who suffers from an eating disorder) decided to buy two Suzuki motorcycles. At first I was a little shocked by all of this, I couldn’t imagine my friend who weighs 135kgs riding around town on a motorcycle. Upon further investigation it came clear to me that this was in fact a substitute for eating. My friend loves eating and always has, but it has come to stage where that is all he does. Eat, eat, eat. By having the motorbike it takes his mind off of food and substitutes it with an adrenalin rush.

I don’t quite know why he bought two bikes, maybe in case he breaks one or wants his friends to go riding with him. He has asked me a few times, but as I don’t have a bike licence I had to decline. He says that in the short period that he has had the bike he has lost a few kilos and rarely thinks about food. He is more interested in getting that buzz the moment you turn the throttle on the bike. He says it’s exhilirating and freshing to be out on the open road with the wind blowing in your face and the power between your legs. Maybe something to think about for those looking to occupy themselves with something other than food.
