[QUOTE="EmilyT, post: 2330663, member: 533254"] Hi, Thanks for replying. I have had lots of help over recent years with mental health issues, of which my unhealthy eating is a part - but am not getting any specific help with the binge eating, which this time got out of hand during lockdown. When I am by not binge-eating chocolate, I do enjoy the tastes of normal food - but once my chocolate-eating is out of control, I can’t stomach the thought of “normal” (nutritious) food, but am aware of the clock, so be when a mealtime approaches, I will have something that seems a bit more substantial (3 or 4 Double Deckers, for example), think of that as my “dinner” and then settle back to bars or boxes of chocolates again. Definitely, definitely feels like addiction. I am a recovering alcoholic, and I am using chocolate now in exactly the way I used to use alcohol. And yes - currently medicated for major depressive disorder, hypothyroidism, high blood pressure, Vitamin B12 deficiency, and no fewer than 6 autoimmune conditions(!) I have arthritis in my spine and in both knees, and have had a severe bout of acute pancreatitis in the past. I think that’s me answered them all!! [/QUOTE]
