If you have good insurance, you should see a psychiatrist or psychologist.
If you do not have insurance or do not have mental health coverage, try to look into local universities or medical schools that offer free or reduced rates.
Social workers are also relatively inexpensive.
Eating disorders have about a 20% death rate so this is a very serious disease. You have to speak to someone in a position to help you. It will be hard to take the first step but realise that you will have long term negative consequences if you do not take action now to correct your problem. Life doesn't have to be like this, take advantage of resources available and get some help!
Good luck.
just eat when you need to, drink lots of water, do something fun for an excercise. don't think of yourself as fat but never gorge yourself-listen to your body, not just that little voice in your head saying nasty things about you that aren't true
Try eating foods that will boost your confidence~ To gain weight you could try eating, and then only excercising 1 time a week. Eating disorders are serious, and you should probably see a DOCTOR, and he/she will help you! I wish you luck!! 鈾?

I hope I HELPED!!

Hello sweetheart,

You need to start reading books on binge eating and eating disorders because you don't want to go through what I went through. I was 120 pounds and went to 263 pounds. I recently lost the weight through jogging, 112 pounds while reading and learning to control my binges.

Binge eating is an addiction and is as strong as someone who is on drugs or someone who is an alcoholic. My addiction had gotten so bad that I would awaken at 2 am in the morning to go to Burger King for a full meal.

Read, Learn, and seek counseling so that this problem is not all you think about, talk about, and work on because you have golds in life and should be obtaining them. Here is some information on emotional eating-Binging

Emotional Eating

Emotional Eating - using food to escape or to make yourself feel better.

Emotional eating means that you eat for some other reason than health or nutrition.

This sounds pretty innocent, but Emotional Eating is actually what makes you break your diets. It's what makes you feel intense cravings for particular foods. It's what makes you overeat.

It causes food addiction. It's even responsible for binges and yoyo diets.
Chances are, if you've ever struggled to lose weight and failed, or regained weight
back after some success, you've struggled with Emotional Eating.

You already know how to lose weight. You know that if you eat less and exercise more eventually you鈥檒l see the pounds come off. What鈥檚 getting in your way? Why do you usually regain the weight you lost?

The answer to all these questions is the same 鈥淓motional Eating.鈥? Simply defined, emotional eating means you eat to satisfy emotional hunger; it means you use food for comfort or as a way to cope with life; and it means you eat for reasons other than what your body needs.

Whenever you reach for a boredom-breaking snack despite your commitment, or whenever you eat to quell anxiety, that鈥檚 emotional eating. Whenever you binge after a fight, or double up on portions because your day turned sour, that鈥檚 emotional eating. Whenever you feel that sharp craving for your favorite food, that鈥檚 emotional eating.

When we eat during these times while on a diet, we believe the diet doesn鈥檛 work or that we lack self control and then look for the quickest way to lose weight (fasting/diet pills, ect) after eating all we can since we already messed the diet day up.

Remember that emotional eating plays a big part in why we don鈥檛 continue dieting and why we regain lost weight and why we binge today and start a new diet tomorrow.

Best of Luck.
