This makes a lot of sense from the perspective of my own tendency to overeat and the fact that i come from a family with addictive tendencies.
Mother: Alcohol,cigarettes
Brother:Cannabis,cocaine,cigarettes,alcohol(he currently only smokes -cigarettes)
Sister: Alcohol and cigarettes
I would like to see research looking into levels of alcohol/substance amongst family members of those who overeat and those who do not.
One thing i do know. Accepting you have a problem is a step in the right direction but it's most definitely not the whole journey.
My overeating has ramped up several notches since Brenda died.
It would be easy to blame my overeating on that but the reality is i overate when she was alive.
