  • That's where a food addiction comes in. You can thank your lucky stars that you do behave like that :) I have sat there crying while eating food. Hating myself for eating it, but still I keep eating it.
  • I agree. Whilst being obese isn't necessarily an eating disorder, binge eating which can lead to obesity certainly is. I should know. I had to find my own help and it is thanks to the help that I found that I am now going to be there for my children as they grow up.
  • I disagree actually. It was only when I addressed how I had let myself get to a BMI of 45 that I was able to do something about it. Perhaps sharing ideas on how people get that way could indeed help other people to recognise their own behaviours.
  • I was tested for coeliac and it came back negative. However both my GP and consultant agreed that I am clearly intolerant of it and I should cut it out. I have been gluten free since September and I do feel better without it. Not perfect, which suggests there are other issues, but it has made a great start.
  • It's up to you. I avoid fruit as it gives me sugar cravings for chocolate but that's just me.
  • If it was me I'd have the soup, turkey but skip the stuffinig, and no dessert.
  • I joined here a while ago but started using it properly yesterday. I also have a lot to lose - will send friend request :)
