[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1675709, member: 345386"] Kentoldlady - I have been fortunate never to have been a comfort eater or to carry enough weight to seek or consider bariatic surgery. Any form of disordered eating (whether too much, too little, feast and famine or whatever) should be investigated to work out whether there is a root cause, as opposed to just a bit of a habit. In most cases there's a reason why this happens. One thing I would say is that habits can be changed, even if it does take some time, and a lot of determination. As a former sufferer from anorexia nervosa I was terrified of reverting to those behaviours once the intensity of my treatment eased - especially as I was moving. Yes, moving countries, not just houses, so picking up where I left off was unlikely to have been credible. Of course I had difficult periods. I'm no super woman. Nobody making a major change in their lives does that without the odd waver or wobble, but once the root cause is understood there can be personal process put in place to help deflect from those doubts and reduce the chances of true reversion. I spoke a lot with my Consultant about the potential for a real revolving process with eating/not eating, but he reassured me that over time my likelihood of reverting would lessen and with each decade I would be more likely to develop a new addiction (i.e. rather than my drive for the needle on the scales to drop). I'm over 30 years from my anorexic times, and still waiting to experience the excesses of sex, drugs and rock and roll he mentioned. :) (Of course that last sentence is very flippant, and I apologise.) If you haven't already, please do consider seeing someone about the comfort eating. Honestly, once I truly understood why I carried out my damaging behaviour, it was so, so much easier to even attempt to turn the corner. Hopefully you might find a way to reduce its impact on your life. Good luck with it all. Out of control eating is horrid and very misunderstood in my view. [/QUOTE]
