It seemed so drastic, and I knew I wasn't going to be able to make the lifestyle changes. And I knew, KNEW, that my addiction would find another, possibly more life-altering outlet. Meth anyone? Never tried it, but now I have food so I don't need it.<BR/><BR/>I think I'll post on this topic!

I'm fairly sure I see it as a last-resort, desperate-situation choice ... but I also see it as a CHOICE. I think it's something a doctor should never pressure someone into, and something that should be undertaken only if the person truly wants to do it.<BR/><BR/>That said - if you are truly a compulsive overeater, there are doctors and therapists who specialize in eating disorders (compulsive overeating is a disorder, just as anorexia is!), who may be equipped to deal with the "addictive personality" thing. But you didn't ask for advice, so that's neither here nor there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
