Yes!! I become so obsessed sometimes with eating that it's all I think about. I find myself eating before I go out to eat so I don't over eat in front of others. I know I'm not fooling anyone because I am overweight but I do it anyway. I get excited when I know I am going to eat something I love but then instantly I feel guilty after I eat it. I try to portion control but I just end up bindging. I can't talk to anyone in my life about it because they all think it's simple: just stop eating so much. But I eat when I'm happy, sad, angry, stressed, overwhelmed, you name it I feel it and eat. I don't have many friends and I don't have a family of my own. I have become the cliché cat lady. I am going to the gym but I still over eat. I feel so much pressure from the people around me and soon they will see I'm still not losing weight and the advice and criticism will begin. Don't mean to sound like a Debbie downer. I'm just overwhelmed by this food control thing. Thanks for listening.
