Controlling My Eating

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Wright City, OK

I am wondering if anyone else seems to have trouble with eating almost compulsively? I have noticed in the evening once I sit down and began to relax I begin eating. Sometimes my eating gets out of control. I have gained soo much weight. I’m finding it harder and harder to control this behavior. I do find during the day.

Hi Erinanne, I find can't shovel the Cherrios fast enough. I eat one meal a day between 5-6. After the morning rush I have no reason to eat. It's crazy! So glad I am not alone with this. Stay safe and well!
