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 overeat.  It's like there's no off switch some days. I struggle to realise when I'm full.  HOWEVER I've recently started a well known dieting app. It's changing my relationship with food and I'm being more mindful if I feel full or not now. It's helping me form new habits. This is alongside other things which help my wellbeing like doing more exercise and meditation. 

    I also find that when I've taken an illegal natural substance (which I won't mention because I don't want to get banned from the forum),,  it's regulated my appetite more along with regulating repetitive thoughts. I feel there's some link somewhere.
