Just found this post!

Thought that my "eating disorder" "LMAO!" was due to my lack of self control. I could sit down and make a meal out of chocolate, and have been know to do just that.

Another strange side affect of eating that has mystified me for some time is the way I sleep after lunch. I best get everything done before I eat lunch cuz my day is over until 7 or 8 in the evening. I go to sleep and sleep hard. Wake up, eat dinner, enjoy the evening and go to bed at a normal time

Mother has expressed concern over my excess amount of sleeping. I do seem to increase the amount of sleep I need during difficult times. Plus my craving for chocolate goes through the roof when I'm in one of my bad times.

I have always joke that you can tell how happy I am by looking at my weight. Happy thin--sad fat! Never occured to me that it could be one of the lovely side affects of PTSD

This forum never ceases to amaze me with the things I learn here. Helps quite a lot to learn that the weird and strange things you experience is not "just you"! There is a reason why you do and think stuff, and that it can be explained is so comforting. OOPS! Got, off the subject, so I'll get off my saop box, sorry
