hey there!
i just registered today in hopes of getting some support for emotional eating. I am not overweight- i enjoy exercise and healthful foods to nurture my body, but i am also fixated on my weight. my feelings get the best of me more often than i'd like to admit, and i eat in response to stress, boredom, happiness, loneliness etc. what compounds this is the fact that i have crohn's disease - an inflammatory condition of the small and large intestine, making my dietary habits extremely important. one slip and i feel horrible the next day - both emotionally AND physically! and just having this disease can trigger binges (usually with ice cream!) - it's a horrible cycle
well, i just wanted to introduce myself and say "hello." it just feels good to get this out there- its not an easy thing to talk about! thanks for reading!
