Hi,
I am wondering if anyone out there has experienced similar feelings to me. I had suffered from various eating disorders for approx 8 years, and then 18 months ago managed to admit I had a problem and sought help. I had counselling for a year, and it was amazing - really opened my eyes, and changed my whole life around. For the first time in my life, it felt like I was really getting somewhere and food stopped dominating my every thought. Then I fell pregnant. I am now 5 months pregnant, and am finding it quite hard not to reach for food as comfort. It is the lack of control I have over my changing body shape, and food is back dominating my life again. Although I make sure my baby has the nutrition it needs I top myself up with the foods I want to please me. I can kid myself, that once I have had the baby, I will get myself back on track again, but realise that at that time I will be extremely vulnerable and it may be harder. I know it is something that I have to sort out myself. Just wondering if anyone else out there has experience of the same thing, as I don't know anyone else who understands.
