Thank you so much for your words of support Venus_blue. You are so right and I'm hoping that being more open and admitting my problem will be the start of trying to overcome my demons. My doctor is referring me for some cognitive behavioural therapy but as with anything there are waiting times and she felt that starting me on fluoxetine was the right thing to do. Is was the first time that I had said the words out load about my problem with food, it felt really uncomfortable but it's gone on too long and I need to confront it.
It's difficult too remove myself from the foods as a lot of the time it's not at home that's the problem it's the visit to sainsburys before work etc. my problem is worse when I'm alone. I need to work on limiting my alone time.
Oh and you don't sound condescending at all you sound supportive and caring and I really appreciate it. I can't wait to get to the time where I have found the strength to overcome this vicious cycle.
Tracygwill That book looks great! I will be taking a trip to the bookshop tomorrow in the hopes that I can get it rather than wait for amazon. and well done on such a great weight loss and getting a grasp on controlling your behaviour. May your journey continue.
Thanks for your support
