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

  • I have no issues with food, it's alcohol that's the problem. Similar to you I have it when happy, sad or any excuse to have it. Alcohol & food issues take a lot of willpower and hopefully support to deal with.

    MrMaxaMan I have read that people on the spectrum are prone to more addiction.  Now I have not touched alcohol for 10 years and gave up the fags 25 years so I do not understand why i cant put the food down.  I think I am an all or nothing person and I know that i cannot give up food (even though i wish i could at times).  Thank you for your reply and i wish you well with your journey, hopefully we will find peace one day.
