Sweetie - I'm so sorry for your struggle. You're a very brave woman to acknowledge your difficulties. Sometimes, that's the hardest step of all.
Snow for Sarala got me hooked on a website: flylady.net
It has tons of information on it about managing a house, but they also have a book on "body clutter" which makes you examine why you eat, when you eat and what you eat. I would highly recommend it (I just ordered it). It deals with the emotional side of eating. Who knows? It might help.
Also on flylady, they do menu planning. That way, you plan your entire week so there is no guesswork. That way, each day you know what you're having for breakfast, lunch, supper and what things to buy for snacks. Maybe that will help you take the pressure off "what am I going to eat?". Also, there are medications that can cause weight gain, and increase appetite. I'm 5 ft 2 and I have been through a weight roller coaster since my babies have been born. It's not easy. I lost 40 pounds (not on purpose - postpartum depression), had another baby, fit into size 6 jeans 10 days after she was born, and then had to go on medication and gained 25 - 30 pounds. So I know what it's like to feel this way. I hope this helps.
Let us know how you're doing.
Sending you huge hugs,
Alicia.
