    • About Me

      I am newly retired and nearing 60 years old. It is time for me to try to deal once again with the binge eating that has been a lifelong challenge. I was bulimic in my twenties, an exercise fanatic in my forties and now am a couch potato in my 50's.

    • Close Food Addiction

      Treatments

      Overeaters Anonymous (OA) Somewhat Helpful
      I had a sense of belonging but I also felt less successful than some people.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      worked well at the time, but did become addictive and did not become a lifestyle.
      Dietary Modification Working / Worked
      Overeating healthy food seemed better than overeating candy which made me feel sick.
    • Close Eating Disorders

      Treatments

      Group Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      IT was an Adult Children of Alocholics group. Somewhat helpful as I faced some issues in my life. Also tried a spiritual group but stopped when it became a bit too wierd. Also stayed in Buddhist monestary but couldn't understand Thai, so it was interesting and peaceful but I didn't make any changes.
      Overeaters Anonymous (OA) Somewhat Helpful
      At the time, I felt a sense of belonging but also competition with other members.
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      Counseller was not well matched to me. Not really helpful, maybe more harmful.
      Support from Friends & Family Not Working
      I have tended to distance myself in the last 10 years. I'm not sure why.
