Hi, I'm a binge eater
 

:carrot::carrot::carrot:

I've been on a crazy 3 day eating spree, and I'm having trouble putting the breaks on this binge. I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with me, because I haven't always been this way. It started about 3 years ago. In October of 2010, I weighed about 120 lbs. I was 5 pounds away from my goal of 115. At my absolute heaviest, I had weighed 230 lbs, but I had never really been a 'binge eater'; it was just a case of a little too much food and not enough activity. So, the last time I weighed (Monday), I was at 140. I'm scared because it's creeping upward, and my appetite is waaaay out of control.

So, I joined this forum to get a little support and for the accountability factor, I suppose.

:Welcome:!!!! Good for you on taking the first step by coming here and wanting support!! I hope you don't consider yourself a failure because you are NOT. Why? You are coming back on track and not giving up. Just take it one step at a time. :hug:

Thanks for the welcome. :)

No, I don't feel like a failure at all. Hey, I lost 90 lbs. PLUS dropped a 16 year, 3 pack a day smoking habit within the space of 5 years, so I'm pretty proud of myself. A 20 pound gain in 3 years is no biggie, but I just need to get a grip. I think I'm depressed.

Welcome and good luck on your journey!!!
