What has my mental health got to do with my hubby? He isn’t responsible for my compulsive eating disorder, he doesn’t control what or when I eat and he shouldn’t have to. I am responsible for it all and I have already stated in one of my comments that food is the main cause of weight gain. So I know all that.

I have been seeking help for years. Different councellors, psychologists, GPs, mental health nurses, different antidepressants. It’s amazing how bullying throughout school effects someone long term. No self esteem, no self confidence, worthless, hating oneself, attempting suicide coz you feel everyone would be better off without you. Fun times. So yeah I’m just full of excuses a lazy, greedy fat arsed b***h is what I am.

I hate myself enough as it is, you can’t possibly make me hate myself anymore than I already do.

Riiiiight, you couldn’t have fooled me. Either you haven’t researched correctly or you are just ignorant. If you knew about mental health and eating disorders you would know it isn’t that bloody easy. Get yourself properly educated on the matter and don’t compare your experience with others. Would you say the same to someone who suffered anorexia, bulimia etc? I presume you wouldnt. Guess what compulsive eating disorder is an eating disorder just like anorexia and bulimia. I don’t want it, I have tried damn hard to try and curb it, I have even upped my antidepressants and seeing my psychologist more regularly. I am even considering hypnotherapy. I don’t want to have little control on my eating struggles. It’s like a constant itch I need to scratch but then I scratch too much and end up being regretful and disgusted with what I have done. Doesn’t mean that my remorse and disgust stops my compulsion. I even went to the gym for over a year hoping it would help and motivate me but sadly it didn’t, yes I got the exercise but food is the main culprit of weight gain. Get a clue.

Maybe do some actual research on mental health and eating disorders and maybe you will realise they are real and not just excuses. It has nothing to do with being lazy or greedy.

I have done the research, Foxy. More than you know. I’ve lived the life and I’ve used the excuses. One day I stopped making excuses and changed my ways and I’ve been happy ever since. You need to do the same.

Agreed though part of the issue in my area seems to be the cost and availability of healthier foods. There are no healthy "fast food" options so if you work an 8 hour shift or more, you would need the time to prepare the meal beforehand, have a place to keep it cool and/or a place to heat if necessary. Not all workplaces have those options so I suppose you could live on fruits and nuts. Or dried seaweed...
