I have been stuggling with my weight for the past 4 years. It started with anorexia and I almost didn't make it. Thankfully, I realized that i had a whole life ahead of me and I can make it. In about a year, I gained weight and got back to a healthy weight(about 100 lbs). I wasn't on a very restrictive diet. I ate very healthy and didn't eat cookies or cake or anythign like that. That was ok with me because i really didn't want to. About a year later, my mom bought cookies and i went crazy. For some reason I wanted them so badly. I ate about 10 and decided that i should throw up. This is when i developed bulimia. This lasted about 6 months. For about a year now, I have been a binge eater. I don't make myself throw up, I just eat a large amount of food. I now weigh 145lbs and am disgusted with myself. I don't know what to do anymore. I hate overeating, but sometimes its uncontrolable. Does anyone have any advice or anything at all?

Im not a professional but eating disorders aren't just about being fat or thin, about food or weight. Eating disorders are typically about self-esteem, depression, or self expression. It sounds like to me that your problem with food is more than just a diet. You may need to seek counseling before you trip your diet and fall into possibly another eating problem. I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to send me a message.
