Hi everyone - just wondering if anyone could wish me some luck? I have struggled with food since the age of 18, when I started at university. Unfortunately university was a bit of a disastrous experience for me in many ways. Had bulimia, binge-eating disorder, laxative abuse (which I suspect may be the reason I developed chronic IBS in my early 20s, though that's only a guess). Now I would say have a disordered relationship with food - snack all the time. Am a 'normal' weight, but always feel bloated and uncomfortable. I think about food all the time, whenever I get anxious I head straight for the biscuit tin.
Anyway, for various reasons I am going to try, once and for all, to try to tackle this. I feel I am still stuck at the age of 18/19 in many ways. I am scared of feeling things, but I am also fed up of not feeling things, if that makes sense. I guess I just want to have a bit of self respect.
Anyway, sorry for long post. Any tips gratefully received!
