Over Eating

Dawn

Hi all,

I am new to the discussions group.  Just wondering if anyone suffers from overeating/binge eating or just a bad relationship with food.

Long story short.  I have had eating issues from the age of 15 (I am now 46) diagnosed with Asperger's In January of this year and just cannot get to a place where i am happy with my eating.  I eat when i am happy, sad, stressed you name it i eat.  I have been under various therapists for my eating and can go 12 - 18 months at a time where my eating is really good but then i fall off the wagon and go back to my old habbits.  I have even tried Over Eaters Anonymous!!  

Any advice, tips on how an Aspie can just be at peace with food.  

thanks in advance

Dawn

    I did OA back in 2016/17 for around 15 months and for the first 12 months it was great.  I lost weight, got my eating on track and did the 12 steps.  I only struggled when my Sponsor was less involved with me and I became a sponsor myself.  I then found the whole thing overwhelming and I was unable to be a sponsor to someone else so I gave up>  I found the whole thing a positive experience but found I was unable to commit to the whole OA programme.
