Yes, this is how I strive to operate-- and have, ever since I started confronting that concept in my writing. In fact, mine was a learned behavior... watching my mother privately binge is what taught me how it was done. Though there are times (people I'm around, mostly-- like unpleasant grandparents, etc) that it still is difficult. I'm working on making sure that I am happy with and proud of what I'm eating.

I have been getting better about my public eating. Losing weight is helping. It is still hard sometimes. A lot of it depends on who I am with and where I am.
