How can I overcome this particular eating disorder?

Postby GailVerona » Sun Oct 16, 2011 10:12 pm

Only recently have I realized this is an eating disorder.

All my life, food has given me comfort. When I diet, I realize how much pleasure it gives me because I go through withdrawals without it.

My main bad foods - fast food, soda.

I battle with my weight, but I never wanted to throw up or starve myself.

Instead, I began using diet pills. Sometimes, I'll use laxatives.

Other times I'll purposely yo-yo (eat whatever I want, then go without food for a day, repeat).

I don't know if this specific behavior has its own name, but I know it's wrong.

Please help me.

A solution I personally used is exercice. After practicing, I crave for good food (veggies, lean meats). Also, do the groceries yourself and avoid pops and candy by all mean.

My advice is to get hormone levels checked, blood sugar control checked, adrenals checked, and mineral levels checked.

Or google adrenal fatigue and weight
Thyroid and weight
Zinc and eating disorders
Zinc and appetite

That may be an eye opener on just how many things can go wrong. I also read intestianl inflammation can supress the appetitie hormone. In fact there was a book based on anti inflamatory nutrients and food for weight loss so the appetite hormone could kick in.
