Dear Jack:

Regarding an insatiable appetite or desire to eat- I can’t imagine anyone in the whole wide world having a greater desire to eat and eat and eat than I have had most of my life. It is only very recently, very, very recently that I am feeling that maybe this desire is getting to be less intense- I CAN’T believe it could be, I am 54 and it has been a lifetime of such desire. This desire at its worst operated in bingeing behaviors where I ate until I was bent over, physically, unable to stand straight. I ate so much that I gained a pound a day, literally and I don’t mean water weight or waste weight, I mean net gain. My distress over this desire has been intense and prolonged and most resistent to change. There is much more (as I mentioned before) that I can say about this since it occupied so much of my time and has been so very significant in my life. If I can be of any help to you in this regard, I will be glad to share more.
