...See more Hey everyone! I am overeating since I guess about 10 years now (I'm 22). Since two years I have problems with my digestion, I've been to lots of doctors but don't have a diagnosis yet, although they think it might be IBS. After researching this a lot I found that a healthy diet with (almost) no gluten, sugar, dairy or processed foods as well as intermittent fasting, not eating to much at once and leaving linger breaks between meals can completely cure this issue. The problem is that I can't stop eating. Especially when people make food for me, snack unhealthy stuff in front of me or offer me food I can't say no. I want to eat healthy and stop constantly snacking shit because I constantly feel stuffed to a point where I feel sick and still keep eating. And my digestion problems keep getting worse, I often can't even sit for longer periods because my stomach hurts to much. I get terrible cramps that make me feel like having a knive in my stomach but as soon as the pain goes away I start eating shit again even though I know it will put me in pain again. Additionally I have health anxiety because I'm still afraid that my digestion problems might be caused by a tumor or cancer or something because the doctors don't really know what's the cause for it. And I'm just so overwhelmed by this anxiety and not knowing what's going on and all the stress I have from university. I really need help! Thanks for reading, Kat
