Compulsive overeating (recovered anorexic)

Posted by devon00 on December 14, 2003, at 18:41:13

I am interested in all of your feedback, especially those of you who have successfully recovered from an eating disorder or have knowledge of nutrition.

To make a long story short, I used to be borderline anorexic. I once went three days without eating anything. Slowly, I recovered. I went on an antidepressant that made me gain a lot of weight and now I struggle with my weight! Further complicating the situation is that I am a compulsive overeater. When I am stressed out, nothing calms me like cookies or chocolate. I am also *very* confused as to what is healthy or good to eat. Low fat/high carb? High protein/low fat? I try to eat lots of fruits and vegetables but other than that I don't know what to eat or what to avoid. And I also don't know how to control my cravings and avoid turning to food out of habit when I am stressed.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
