I have read a few posts on here and I have read the signs of overeaters and I have determined I am an overeater and have been since I was a young girl.
I have loved food beyond my controls.
I have eaten when alone(well mostly when I am alone)
For about 4 years I was ok, I actually went down to a size 7(125 lbs) and then within in a year with many problems in my life I have gained 4 pant sizes( I am around 190ty) and once again I am taken over by the ugre to eat and eat and eat.
I start the day off with hopes of not being conquered and end up binging.
Chips, icecream, cookies, chocolate, cheese, anything to pick on.
I feel disgusting, I feel not like myself, I am not happy with my body image. It conflicts with my days, my emotions it has become a burden, I am so unhappy.
I cant find clothes I like, my jeans seem to be getting smaller, my happiness seems to be disappearing.

I need support big time now that I have fessed up and confronted my problem.

YOU are not alone.

I too am an overeater, and mostly eat to soothe my emotional pains.
I even eat and eat and eat and say 'the **** with it, i'll diet 2moorow" and
give any excuse to eat.

No wonder I can't lose weight.

My all time thinnest was a size 8 / 135 lbs, now a size 16 and 207
pounds, all gaining thru out the years. Good thing is is that I love
to exercise, but I eat all the wrong foods.

I am now starting a diary and writing down honestly what I eat.

I am determined to get this weight off.

I am here if you need to talk

(((kimber)))

there are lots of good books out there and resources...just keep trying something will stick eventually!
