I just feel like bingeing all the time. This is weird I have never felt this way before. I was anorexic. I'm used to emotional starving not emotional gorging. I'm so scared. I can't gain weight. I also feel like I'm starting to lose control of my eating. I can't tell wether I am eating out of physical or emotional hunger. I need help.

I think you have hit the nail right on the head with this. You are being led by anxiety here, How can "emotional" hunger be nourished with food? IT CANT. Food is for nourishment, energy and nutrition, and is chemical and is a primitive need in order to survive, you do have a RESPONSIBILITY to keep yourself SAFE and in order to do that you have to eat to maintain a healthy weight. "Emotional Hunger" and the use of food to deal with unruly emotions and uncomfortable ones can only be fed with self esteem, love and nuturing, etc. Dont go down that road, its an UGLY ONE !

I do the same thing and I hate it. I will restrict for a few days and then the next day I will eat everything. Then, the next day I feel so bad about myself because I ate so much, so I will restrict even more. It's all just a horrible cycle that seems like it will never stop.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
