Have you been to Doctor for your eating habits?

I have eating disorders as well. After a major operation, I had acquire bad eating habits. I can't help but to eat everytime I see food. Especially fatty and junk foods. It affects my body and gain a lot of weight. I have been a size six all my life just until 3 years ago. I am a size 10 now. I'n planning to see a doctor because I am afraid I could get sick because of this.

I've had issues with anxiety and depression in the past, and I'm an emotional eater. I ended up putting on over ten pounds. I'm working on taking it off now. I eat less in one sitting now. After getting back from my vacation (it starts next week) with my sister I'm going to work on cooking for myself. I've never seen a doctor about my eating, though.

no because i am careful with the stuff i eat now however, i was told to loose weight last year becuase the extra weight was hard on my knees.

I actually eat whatever I want and I'm underweight. So in a way, I have. I feel fine, however, I have to get a blood test done for it just to make sure I am healthy. I do not really know why I am overweight, but I know many other people eat more junk food than me, but I really do eat whatever I feel like eating.

Hi Prasunsam, When I was in university I had to go to both a doctor and a counsellor because of my eating habits. I became very stressed and it ended up manifesting itself in a restriction of my diet and the turning of a lot of foods into bad foods. It resulted in me having daily wars whenever I wanted to eat something which was not officially allowed by my new schedules and rules. The event that really sticks in my mind was wanting to have a sausage sandwich. I made it and took it to my room (where I ate all my meals at the time) and I couldn't eat it. I wanted to, badly, but my mind refused to let me. It was at that stage I decided things were truly messed up and got help from the university counsellor who ultimately told me to contact my doctor. I have since gotten better though I am not completely well and still have some bad habits but it has worked out better. Since moving out I have had to also deal with the fact the bad foods are just down the road which caused some problems though I think I have reached a compromise with myself so I can do healthy things, but nothing that would be deemed 'bad.' I wish your friend luck changing his life and habits,. it won't be easy but it is well worth it when the change happens All the best, Dranz
