I've done that in the past 3 years.  You need to find yourself again.  Me and my ex-wife split and I had a difficult time getting on my feet.  But I eventuly did and everything is great now.  I'm going back to college and trying to make my life better.  Maybe a little to prove I can.  It may take time but don't give up and always remember you are a great person and can do great things.

all are very treatable.the diabetes and ptsd may be the limiting factors.but even these ,if properly treated can give you a somewhat normalife span. but the diabetes will probably do you in a little earlier.\nbut what the hell you're still alive.the time you have left is gravy.i know several who didn't come back alive.

I'm sorry, but there are no miracle cures. You are doing exactly what you should be doing - getting some help. If you find it hard to eat less and exercise more, then getting help is good.\n\nYour therapist should be trying to break the connection you make between eating and being happy. Once they can un-brainwash you from the years of conditioning society has given you to tell you that eating lots makes you happy, and that sugary and fatty food are treats, then you're well on the way to sorting it out.\n\nGood luck to you. Keep doing the right thing.. it may take a while but once it happens it will be permanent.

I had this same problem, and weighed over 330 lbs.  Best thing to do is go off sugar (processed and starch) to the point your pancreas no longer has to work overtime to produce insulin.  I suggest reading the book "Sugar Busters" by 3 New Orleans doctors.  This book was written for diabetics, to help keep their sugar levels in check and help them get away from so much dependency on insulin shots.  These doctors are diabetic specialists, and what they say in the book makes more sense than anything else I've read!  I've now lost about 170 lbs., and feel wonderful and look better than I have most of my life!  Read the book, it tells how your body works, and why, and afterwards you're going to say to yourself (I did!)..."NOW I KNOW why I'm the way I am!"  The link below takes you to a site where you can order the book online.  And good luck!  \n\nAnd Delta Burke, one of the stars of the television series "Designing Women" found out she was a diabetic, and went on this exact diet (lifestyle eating change) and lost weight AND brought her dependency of insulin way down!

Overeating is such a horrible addiction to overcome.  If it worked for us like for an alcoholic- and we could just never eat again- I could stop.  But unfortunately, you have to eat.\n\nFist of all, let me suggest to work on the issues from your childhood.  Resolving those should help a lot.\n\nAnd then, you could make notes or keep a journal- write down what you eat..... That should keep your hands busy and away from the food/mouth for while- .. No, really.. if you see it written down, it sometimes helps you recognize what you're doing.\n\nAnd find other things to keep you busy.  There are support groups out there- but I found I got worse after a overeater's anonymous meeting- they told me I had no control over my eating so I went home and proved them right.  Then I realized that was ridiculous, I did better before I went to the meeting.  I'm now diabetic and that helps.  I'm forced to make myself eat less to live.  When you get to a point where your life depends on it, you can do it.  Oh, and at least when you eat- eat healthy.

Maybe its chronic pancreatitis with SOD?  I had an ERCP and I am much better.  I was the same as you, where they did many tests but couldn't find the cause.  It may still return for me but we'll just have to monitor it.  There are tons of resources online.

If you talk to other people that went through this it is quiet common. Rest when needed , eat healthy and just go with the flow.

Has he had his throid checked?  A simple bloodtest will be able to answer many questions.  He may even have food allergies that cause him to binge on food.  This is often triggered by stress, other food or drink, chemical imbalance in the brain or body, or heredity, just to name a few!  If he isn't already doing so, he should be keeping a detailed journal/diary of everything that he eats & drinks.  The times included, as well as how he is feeling and what he is doing prior to eating will be helpful if he wants to pinpoint his most "dangerous" binge times!  Have you thought about letting HIM take care of this on his own?  Since it sounds like his problems have become your problems, perhaps if you lightened your load by concentrating on yourself,  he could gain some inner strength if he saw that his wife was happy doing things that did not require him to be her sole provider of happiness.  You may want to explore some type of couples counseling, or go it alone in order to get a grasp on just what seems to making BOTH of you unhappy.  Something is hiding beneath all of this & it will take some time & work to get it out to the surface before it can be dealt with.  If you want to help him, you first must help yourself by becoming educated on your own strengths & weaknesses.  He is an adult & so are you, & being a good wife doesn't mean that you must mother him, (as it sounds like you have been doing).  You say that going out on your own makes him feel worse.  How does it make you feel?  He may be using his weight to manipulate you into staying with him, as you have become his security blanket.  Please get some help before you end up in worse shape than he is in.  This is a complex issue that can & will tear your heart to pieces if you continue to attempt surgery on a patient with no formal training, which in a way, is what you are doing.  One of you has to take charge of yourselves if you are going to survive this & go on...with or without one another.

I am a recovering bulimic and anorexic. I suffered with these disorders for 5 years and have been free of them for 2 years. Thank God! There is help! I now eat to live, not live to eat and I have a healthy relationship with food now. I personally had to go to an inpatient treatment facility because I could not stop on my own. I tried so many times to do it by myself. I'm including the link to that treatment center incase you want to check it out.\n\nhttp://www.remudaranch.com/index.asp?flash=yes

Ask a local church for counseling and to be saved, that way, if he kills you, at least you'll have saved and can reload from the last checkpoint.\n\n\nSearch answers.google.com for the keyword "divorce". THis place is full of f*cking kids.

Continue to live the way you have been, take time to let your loved ones (friends and family) know how much you have enjoyed knowing them and that you love them. Getting hysterical will only make the situation worse, though I realize that it is easier said than done to not get a bit hysterical. Go on and enjoy the months you have left, find things to laugh about daily. I have diabetes and I live everyday like it was my last. I tell my husband and son how much I love them and friends are told how much they are cherished also.
