ABSTRACT
I have tried countless diets over the years – some more successful than others. Regardless of my weight, I’ve always hated the way my body looks. The continual dieting is also accompanied by frequent binge eating. I also struggle with depression and have a history of drinking problems. I have had numerous relationship problems in my three marriages. I have gone to many therapists for help with my eating, but nothing has worked for me. As a child, my grandfather and an uncle sexually abused me, and I sometimes wonder if this trauma is connected to my eating problems. I have never told anyone and no one has ever really asked. I am not sure I will ever feel better.
