Over Eating

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

  • Totally get where you're coming from—emotional eating can be super tough to manage, especially with everything else going on. I’ve seen a lot of people on the spectrum deal with similar patterns, like eating to regulate emotions or sensory input. Routines help some—like having set meals, keeping food options simple, or even avoiding decision-making around food when you're stressed. Also, maybe try tracking triggers, not just what you eat but how you feel before/after. It's a process, but you're definitely not alone in it  Mybalancenow
