[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 944923, member: 17713"] Yes, I recall this but my question was really.. Is indiaemily like this at work with eating? Personally when I've worked for Employers I've not been able to have munchies with me.. To go on further- if you can work without munchies then there is a boredom factor at home. From having few hobbies or interests then it strikes me that the most likely reason for being obsessive with food is for comfort and compensation for doing nothing else. Most people find food a comfort factor or a TV factor. Watching TV.. Must eat!! Currently (to me) food has nithing to do with diabetes... Its with boredom and a routine of that is what is acceptable. Food is top priority.. Nothing else matters.. The same but opposite to an anorexic. A lot of words have been written by indiaemily but there is more concern for her food than for the worry or mention of family. My anorexic (recovering) friend was very similar. As she has developed her individuality now and performing arts and painting around the torment and now being positive all her food photographs have stopped. She still has the anguish and turmoil around food but now has an outlet for enjoying herself with her passion of arts and performing. I see that Emily does not worry about the anguish to her family or what she is doing to her health or that of her work colleagues having to cover for her. In a ward with little staff cover and DKA and observation based these things stand little chance of being recognised. Until the food and life battles are addressed then Emily will be caught in a vicious circle of admiitances to hospital. My friend had underlying issues behind her food and problems and I believe Emily has the same. [/QUOTE]
