Today I have finally admitted to myself that I have a problem with binge eating. I spoke to DH and DD about it and have made an appointment with my doctor. I have been going to Slimming World for about 2 yeras now and have lost a stone and a half. I am not overly big( size 12-14) but I'm worried things will get out of hand. I have not lost any weight for the last year and feel I'm just wasting my money. Other people can eat in a normal way,surely I can too?!

I do try to buy 'healthier' snacks such as low fat crisps, low calorie biscuits
Willow I don't buy any of that kind of stuff generally - because eating it even if is lower in calories is not helping me get out of the habit of consuming it.

Shysal, actually I would never admit to taking antidepressants. Nothing to "admit" to. Totally the wrong word. Anxiety and depression are not things to feel guilty about.

I have of course, said several times on Gransnet, and on Mumsnet before that, that I find fluoxetine helpful. (Said always to help other people looking for help with these troubles)

You're all heart jingle. But, in this case I don't think you're actually helping the OP much, especially as you know absolutely nothing about her problem sad. This thread isn't actually about you, y'know....

I just wanted to make that point clear Tegan. Nothing more. I'll be off now.
