One year later...

It's nearly one year from the last post, and a lot happened! The most important change is that I had, finally, a successful pregnancy  and a second little daughter! I also moved my house and now I'm living in a country village, not in the big city anymore...

During the pregnancy I felt no need to binge eating, and I was very careful not to gain too much weight; in the end, I LOST (yes!!!) 9 kilos. Unfortunately, just after delivering, I started again to feel the need of bingeing, and I'm doing it (again) almost every day...So I just regained 5 of the 9 kg I lost, and I started to feel really depressed. It was like there was no way to modify my behaviour with the food!

Finally I found a place where I can ask for help; they treat Binge Eating Disorder and other disorder about food. Next week I will have my first appointment. I hope it will be the beginning of a successful road...

Good luck

Congratulations on your baby!

I have binge eating disorder so I know how awful it can be.

The good news is, if you didn't feel like doing it while you were pregnant, it suggests the root cause could be hormonal, or to do with blood sugar or something like that.

My experience was that for me, there was a real physical reason behind much of mine - which of course makes it a lot easier to deal with.

Good luck xxx
