Hello everyone! I have recently developed a problem with food that is threatening to ruin my well-being. Basically, I suffer from OCD and anxiety, and have been on anti-depressants for the past 8 years to deal with it. I've always been somewhat of a sugar nut, but lately, I've started losing control. Like, I just start eating anything sweet and then...don't stop. I also find myself feeling the need to be continuously eating, even if it isn't sweet food. I can't eat 3-4 meals a day--I have to be constantly munching on something, anything. As soon as I get done eating one thing, I'm thinking about eating something else. Basically, I'm thinking about eating at all times--I'm obsessed with food. Does anyone else experience this? I have not always had this problem, and it's starting to get me really worried. Some of my trigger foods are cereal and milk (my fave), anything with chocolate, muffins, coffee, raisins, peanut butter, and anything with sugar in it. How do I get a grip? I've been trying to do K. DesMaisons's Sugar Addict's recovery program, but it seems to have only made me MORE compulsive about my eating!! I'm at my wit's end here. If anyone has any suggestions at all, please let me know. Thank you!!!
