[QUOTE="ladybird64, post: 248686, member: 29023"] I couldn't think of another title. :oops: Bottom line is, I have food "issues". I'm not bulimic or have an eating disorder as such but have massive difficulty controlling my eating and have done since childhood. (Just realised, "massive eating"-pun was unintended) I don't know how to get this under control and I am not the type who seeks therapy for everything. I gave up ciggies, have more or less overcome thirty years worth of panic attacks, anxiety and agoraphobia but this is something else, I really am an emotional eater and I don't know how to get past this. If it was as simple as replacing bad with good, that's not a problem but I eat when I'm not hungry, half the time I can't even taste the food. On my birthday I was full of good intentions and all was ok. My mum got ill, I looked after her for a week, she has been in hospital since and all I have done is fill my face with **** that I don't really want. I make jokes because that is the way I am and I have managed to cope with everything else this life has chucked my way but how the hell can I control the diabetes if I can't get the psychological side of my eating sorted. What can I do to fix this? There has to be a way, I refuse to believe there isn't a solution for every problem but I really don't know what I can do. As usual, all your suggestions are welcome. PS. This was difficult to write so please be kind [/QUOTE]
