Close Food Addiction
Been overweight all my life. My mum had me on a starvation diet aged 7. I have had so many serious traumatic events in my life including being raped, losing my first husband to a brain tumour, broken home, 10 years infertility treatment, post natal depression on and on and on. Food is my coping mechanism but I want to stop. I have diabetes and I am going to die if I dont control it. I am so depressed and desperate. I need help
Close Depression
Hi my name is Tina. i am 42 and live in the UK. I am very happily married with 2 children. I work part time at a sixth form college teaching kids with learning difficulties. On the face of it I have nothing to be depressed about but I am. I cant stop binge eating and I feel so low some days I wonder whats the point.My first diagnosed session of depression was post natal in 1994 but it has happened a few times since. I hope this site can help me and I would love to help others too.

Open Obesity
I have been big all my life. My mum put me on a diet aged 8 and I have had a bad relationship with food, myself and her ever since.I now have diabtes and take insulin I just want to conquer my demons and need help. I would love to help others with their struggle as well.
Treatments
- Alli Not Working
- Tried it for 3 months. All I got was very loose and smelly stools YUK. I didnt loose any weight but I cant honestly say I tried that hard.
- Weight Watchers Somewhat Helpful
- Went to WW years ago and yes thee diet was great the people were great and I did loose a bit but my brain rebelled as usual and I gave up.
Open Diabetes Type 2
Been diabetic for 10 years but was in denial for most of it. I kept on fooling myself that if I lost weight it would all go away. Last September I was put on Insulin and now I guess I have to believe it. Just had my first hba1c but not had result yet so not too sure how its going.
Treatments
- Altace Working / Worked
- Take one a day mainly as a preventive measure my blood pressure is fine.

- I was on avandia until I started an excersise regime. I kept having hypos so came off of it, everything was going well then hba1c went up and was put on insulin

- I try really hard but with binge eating disorder and depression I struggle.
- Levemir Working / Worked
- Take novorapid with meals and levemir twice daily.
