I've had a bad history with eating disorders. I was anorexic for several years before getting psychotherapy to overcome it. Afterwards I developed bulimia, which also lasted several years before being placed in hospital again, where it was noticed and treatment was mandatory.
I now know the damage I've done to my body, and try my best to reject the thoughts of being unhappy with how I look.
However, I binge eat now. I fear I'm going to let bulimia get the better of me again and it is a constant struggle to fight it off. I know that if I let myself fast and over-exercise again, even once, that I won't be able to carry on with the fight. & yet I still binge eat.
I try not to. But I'll convince myself it's ok if I'm angry or upset or thinking too much and set out only eating a little...but I don't stop until my stomach aches and I feel like I can't move.
Most people don't know. I'm of an average weight at present, so nobody is concerned about me.
However, it's Easter. There's an overwhelming amount of chocolate in the house. A lot of it mine. It's a dangerous time of year for me.. I can't control my binging if I have junk in the house.
I hope anyone else here finding the time of year hard will cope.

Can you take the chocolate to a children's hospital or charity? If you can try and get others in your house to do the same.

Food problems are so hard to deal with because we all need food to live and we are surrounded by it everywhere we go. With drugs or alcohol we can do so much to remove it from out lives, but not food. Plus people who don't have the same issues are totally insensitive to how much food can trigger those with problems.
