Normally I binge eat to control my feelings.
But now I can only eat very small amounts; 2 crackers, a bite of apple etc. My throat feels like it's closing up.
"Luckily" I'm overweight so not in any danger.

Hi JaneC76,
That's concerning that your throat feels like it's closing up. Can I ask are you on any medications at all? I'm asking because some drugs can cause this.
Id go and see a doctor to let them know what's happening for you as it's unsustainable to eat like a rabbit long term.
Does this come and go?
Ill be thinking of you.
