If anyone is interested. I get their emails and I thought I would pass them along here.
Do you dread the holidays because of all the tempting food available? Do you wind up hating yourself because of weight gain and loss of self-control? https://fo163.infusionsoft.com/app/h...65ccece32f83a4

Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors. |

I have PTSD that's associated with the holidays, so eating is not always the easiest thing for me to do in the first place at this time of year......the last time I ended up in the medical hospital with anorexia was at Christmas because of the trauma I had & was going through.
My struggles at this time of year go way beyond eating issues but they become part of it due to the stress which usually causes me weight loss rather than gain....not a good combination.

  Hello and good evening. Ah yes Eskie, times throughout the entire year when things are more than difficult for us. People don't realise that eating disorders are not isolated to the young, or even to teenagers, they happen to folk in their later years too. My case in question is now, aged 55 my severe restricting is way at the forefront right now because of a situation/situations I CAN'T control or make better. The more anxious/stressed/worried and frightened I become the more I rely totally on control of myself. Though I constantly keep telling myself that I HAVE to be well, I HAVE to eat a minium amount ~~ to stay strong enough to look after someone else who needs me, I have to be able to NOT have dizzy spells on standing from a sitting position and I have to be able to concentrate to drive, knowing this still provides a fight to stay on top of it all. Plus to be in the ''older'' age group with this malady/disease is a lot harder than it once was. LOVE and HUGS. XXXXXXXXXXX

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
