I'm on Seroquel and I binge eat. Sometimes I can go for several months without a binge, sometimes only weeks. But once in a binge phase, it can last for weeks. I'd planned to discuss it with my psychiatrist at my next review becuase it's emotionally based and I certainly show some eating disorder symptoms. And recently it…

Och poor you! Hope they're not too painful. My best friend recently had two implants fitted and he's delighted with the difference they've made.

However, I'm still nearly 30 pounds away from my ideal weight so am somewhat frustrated as I obviously would very much like to lose more weight. But I would be happy if I lost…

I like quark mixed with Options hot chocolate powder served with defrosted cherries. No cooking involved but it is lovely. Even though it's a breakfast dish, overnight oats is also yummy: raw oats mixed with skimmed milk/yogurt and mashed banana and grated apple, possibly with some raisins too and some cinnamon and ginger.…
