Avatar m tn They are sugary meals, which constipate, or a lot of meat. Overeating may cause"heavy stomach" since all this food takes more time to be digested and stays more time in the stomach before proceedes to intestine. Sugary meals can also cause bloating. Not enough flluid and moving, together with stress or depression, and you have a recipe for constipation.
1401945 tn?1280932432 there are two main reasons for overeating/weight gain after a miscarriage. One reason is simple..hormones. Your body still retains pregnancy hormones for awhile, so it takes the body a little bit of time to figure out that it's not pregnant and to let go of the pregnancy tendencies. The Other reason is a little more complicated....depression.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anyone else is willing to share their experience with overeating, and possibly be a support for me for when I get the urge to do it and/or after I have done it and maybe things I can do when I get the urge to overeat. I would also like to know the negative health effects it is having on my body. Thank you.

Avatar f tn Thing is, before the medication I was always craving comfort food, i ate a lot, and I am over weight for my age due to the fact i was overeating junk, i believe to ease my depression, So does the sign that i now have lower appetite mean that the meds are working?? I've lost about 6-7 pounds. Finally, even thought it might be helping my depression, my main problem is anxiety and I still think the meds make it worse., For instance,my hands are constantly shaking.
1438412 tn?1315507919 I have alot of pain, depression etc. and I said I knew they where only excuses. But now I know my weight causes my other problems. 30 lbs ago I could walk around zoos, enjoy the beach, had less pain and depression, I enjoyed life. It hit me last night that these problems are either caused or made worse by my weight. I have horrible back pain that was made worse since I gained weight. I'm more depressed because I hate being this big.

Avatar f tn problem is the underlying causes of self abuse (overeating or not eating) are usually very painful, and overeating can push the painful feelings down, this becomes a habit overtime and is addictive. I trained as a counsellor and im armed with lots of info, however, we are all human and vunerable in our own unique way. Trouble is life is short and i feel at times i live to eat which creates so many health problems. your not alone, angela.

Avatar f tn I’ve also gained about 85 pounds in the last 8 months due to anxiety/depression, overeating and being home as I was laid off work. My tryglisoroids are now high also due to eating. I also have been having major anxiety etc. not sure if these could be a factor in the higher test range. The one I’m concerned about the most is the Immature Granulocyte Automated and the Absolute Count. My individual and total white blood cells are not high.
