It just cant continue destroing my health with this especially with the family history. It is out of control and I cant take much more. Not to mention my doctor wants me to lose weight and thats impossible with this problem.I figure I will talk to my Dr after I see my T next week. Anyone with experience please help me????
Hi Melissa,
I also think a 12 step program, as in AA, can be very helpfull. I also deal with an eating disorder, more a non-food addiction and talked about it here to docJohn on a chat. (I wondered if this could be a cross addiction, it's not).
Going to 6 meetings...talk to your therapist and your doctor might be very wise steps. Good luck to you!
