What about drinking a huge amount...i'm one of the millions of people who have a food/thirst signal disorder so that when i'm truly thirsty my body sends out the i'm hungry signal! I've come to realize this through therapy and I'm learning how to cope with it. ANDI

Yep - that's me, a mixture of both those pics I'm going to see a psychiatrist on Thursday about it - my doctor has referred me to see if I can get plastic surgery if it is affecting me that much - I can't get it under the 'it gives me chronic pain' route!!! I'm a bit apprehensive as to what will be said, etc as never been before and I'm at the place where I want surgery to correct it, not adjust my thinking about it and still have the body shape I've got now, but feel ok about it!! Sorry you're having such a hard time with the eating lately. Do you think it's something you need to seek medical advice about? Are you losing weight with the food not sitting well? Keep an eye on it, don't let it go on too long.

All I could see was a very beautiful woman Ask your Dr about a Threapist and see how that helps. In 2 years I have lost 185 pounds had a TT, Herina repair, stopped smoking, lost my mother and never realized I became scared of just about everything. By losing the weight I had removed all my walls that kept me hidden & safe from the world ( in my little mind...lol) When I started Therapy I felt like a shell of a person now I'm feeling a bit better, I have a long way to go but she has taught me it's one step at a time and to breath...When people ask you if your sick...just so no..are you?..lol Please keep in touch and let me know how your doing. hugs and good luck Maria

I can only tell you what I used to do, I would eat ! but only hard protein, like lunch meat, or chicken and carrots or celery with yogurt dip

Like I said there is no rhyme or reason to this stuff...LOL as far as a muffin belly, I did before my LBL, now I just have saggy butt and my legs above the knee can be compared to those of a baby elephant or the face of a Sharpe (sp)....LOL
