Hello everyone
I am really struggling to resume a healthy diet and exercise routine. I have been bingeing constantly for the last 8 days and have put on 10 pounds in this time. I have just been online and ordered glutamine powder, 5-HTP, and St John's Wort - in the hope that these will help balance my neurochemicals.
I don't feel that I have any control over my eating behaviour whatsoever, and am feeling increasingly desperate. I don't eat in response to emotional stuff (i.e. I am not triggered to eat when I am angry, or sad, or lonely). It appears to be biochemical, or physiological - it's a deep physical drive to eat and eat and eat.
I would be so very grateful if someone has personal experience of breaking the binge cycle and could advise me on what to do.
Thanks!
