Hello
I have never posted here nor have I ever posted anything about my eating problems. At the age of 11 I was first taught how to be bulimic and anorexia followed shortly after. Several times I almost lost my life, ruined y teeth, messed up my heart ...
When I found out I was pregnant they told me that I would lose the baby if I didn't eat or continued to do what I was doing so gradually I seemed to get better and had 2 beautiful girls. I did have problems between the two pregnancy's with eating too little but didn't get too low.
I have had mental health issues since I was a little child and after my second daughter my ptsd was really bad and I ended up in the hospital several times and was like a guinea pig, they tried this med and that med and all combinations. I started to gain weight and was told that the meds can cause that. It has been several years and I over eat and think its a problem.
Well I know its a problem especially know that popcorn, this is very embarrassing, I can go days and that's all I eat. Several bowls a day & night. I am also addicted to sweets and over eat them if they are in the house. I sneak them or get yelled at by the kids or my husband about how much I have eaten. This is so embarrassing. I know sweets are a problem for a lot of people, but does anyone go through different addictions like one period it was green beans and that was all I would eat, cans a day, then watermelon, pudding, cantaloupe, my family could give a better list, especially my kids but now it is popcorn Is there anyone like me? Thank you for reading

Welcome to PC Humors1 - I just wanted to say hi. I personally don't have problems with food but I'm sure you're not alone. There's an eating disorder forum and I hope you like it here. Do you have a therapist?

Thank you sincerely! I do have a therapist, she is not sure how to work with me, i live in a rural area but there are no services. There are a couple forums I would like to join and maybe get to know some people (im pretty isolated) and when I found this site WOW. Anyway, thank you
