Hi, the past year I have been overeating for no apparent reason. It is steadily getting worse. I do not have anything stressful or upsetting going on and the eating doesn t follow incidents that upset me. I m just constantly hunting for food. It s not from boredom although it may be that I m around the food most of the day because I work from home. I am constantly thinking about food and get excited when my husband leaves in the morning so that I am free to eat without having to feel embarrassed. It isn t possible for me to ban all biscuits etc from my house because the kids do need some but I buy new packets every day because I go through them so fast. I had a gastric band a year ago. 2 weeks ago I overate and the band slipped, I now have it loose and I m waiting to see if it will correct itself. I know I need something drastic to change the way I eat and think about myself. I ve tried looking for OA meetings but there are none in my area. Maybe an online forum would help but I couldn t find any.
