[quote=Anonymous]Almost six months ago I experienced a devastating trauma, and after the initial shock wore off, I began eating. I suppose you could call it “eating my feelings”, because that’s exactly what I would do. But I’ve gained 10lb since then and I’m beginning to not recognize myself. I needed to lose 10lb even before the event, and now I’m up 20lb and bloated and just know I’m not taking care of myself.

Every night I vow that the next day I won’t “eat my feelings”, and I’m good most of the day, but then after dinner it’s like I lose my mind.

I’ve tried everything I’ve ever read here (brush your teeth, just go to bed, etc) I’ve tried advice from my therapist (mindfulness, meditation, distraction). My doctor won’t prescribe the meds because my BMI is too normal and she thinks it would escalate the issues I already have with IBS-C since it slows down your digestion. Nothing seems to work because I’m always convincing myself that “tomorrow will be different”. But I’m disgusting and hate feeling this way. Please don’t attack me, but I’d love any advice you have.
