Seeing doctor about my binge eating

Have you ever tried just not having this junk food in the house, Antjexix? I'm not being ratty here, btw, just trying to help. If it wasn't there, you couldn't binge on it, could you? I must admit I have my moments, usually when I'm alone in the house, when I can eat for England, and then feel guilty. But at least it's healthy ish stuff that I'm hoovering up, like toast, cheese, yoghurt, nuts, fruit. Apart from the secret stash of Buttons and Freddos that I buy in for the grandchildren, allegedly.....I have been known to get the DH to hide that, if he's going out, to save me from myself. Might it not be a good idea to go cold turkey, as Jalima says, before going to the doctor? Just see how that pans out?

Grumpy is the same in English and Welsh (I think)

as in Grumpy Bampy

I think it's Ratty Thursday - a couple of threads have been affected by it!

Don't buy or make cake
Don't buy or make biscuits
Don't buy chocolate, crisps, those horrible pink wafers
Don't buy icecream

Then you can't be tempted
If the rest of the family moan, tell them these things aren't good for them anyway.

It's a bit like giving up smoking - it can be done and cold turkey is better than anything else.

Says she smugly, who is thinking about chocolate as she types .....

Wow!
Mind you I worked with someone whose DGC were the same age as my DC

Hang on jings Antjexix's profile says she has 2 grandchildren. Isn't this "Gransnet"? There isn't an age limit is there?

Jings you can have some too, if you like

ps Antjexix perhaps your goal weight is too low at SW and your expectations of yourself are too high?
If you reach your goal you don't have to pay (so I am told at WW, never achieved that myself).

Tout la meme chose

Hey, you two, go and have some

I see Grumpsnet is raising its head again

Not if I can help it. Usually wait till I'm on my knees.

Antjexix Is your profile correct? Says you are 45. That's younger than my daughter! Perhaps we are on different wavelengths due to age difference.

Will do aggie

I kept telling myself that the GP is too busy , but I nearly left it too late last year , see the GP and have a good chat , book two slots and get to the bottom of the problem

Oh dear. You never see a doctor then I take it??

I hope your medical condition is soon healed.

But please remember the NHS is already overstretched.

Binge eating disorder is actually a medical condition. You could read up on it on the NHS website?! jinglbellsfrocks

Not really, no. I dont think my weight has changed within half a stone in at least 10 years.

Haven't we all? (got flexible weights)

Shall we stop being daft now?

The weight can be a red herring. A person with an eating disorder will have flexible weight.

Oh FFS! That is bloody ridiculous!

Glad you are going to see the GP Antjexix.
It is very uncomfortable reading to see any GN acting as doctor, when they have no training.

Thank you

Binge eating is a recognised eating disorder. It's unlikely you need a dietician as the cause is most likely emotional. Cognitive behaviour therapy can be really helpful but you may well have to pay for it. Good luck.
