Post by: misunderstood-x on April 16, 2012, 02:13:47 PM
do any of you over eat when you are feeling low? i cant help but eat, i dont even feel hungry or dont even know im doing it really but the stones are just piling on which is making me feel worse, just wondered if anyone else is going through this or if im just mad :) :)

I feel for you then, I am just hoping I can loose the weight.  Its hard when I cannot exercise because of my back and legs.  I am going to start swimming again in a hope that this helps.

 &*( for you.

hi shaz
i am the same, i have ME/CFS along with other health conditions so i get exhausted very quickly and have chronic pain so have to use a wheelchair and cannot walk far, so exercise is impossible for me, its hard when you over eat and cant even exercise to make up for it. i hope your able to have the back op soon my lovely i love swimming but cant go at the moment due to my health, i suffer blackouts and the pools wont accept me in case i blackout in the pool, i hope you enjoy your swimming, remember baby steps and you'll get there :) x

I could have written this word for word. I find myself constantly thinking about food and even when I'm not hungry I eat and it drives me mad because the stones really do pile on and you find yourself even more depressed because of your weight. what I will say is that is suffer terribly from bulimia and it nearly killed me.

have you tried a healthy weight loss program like weight watchers? maybe seeing a nutritianist might help aswell because that way you have someone to help, also if your not already doing so CBT or Councelling might help.

good luck and keep posting because we are all hear if you need someone to talk to
