FROM ANOREXIA TO OVEREATING
by misslilly03, Nov 08, 2008 12:59AM
I went from being anorexic. 111 and 5"11 to now overeating gained over 50 lbs in the past three months. I don't know what to do with myself. I'm extremely depressed and in a huge shame cycle that just keeps going and going. I can't stop overeating. I can't find balance. I know what to do, how much to eat, what to eat, exercise, and i have the equipment and money to buy the food. I just don't. I don't know why. It's like eating after restricting to such a point of starvation. food just nurtures me when Im bored and stressed. which is always. I eat even when i don't like it. I always finish the large portions I create. and I can't seem to motivate myself to stop. what should I do. Has anyone else had this problem. what steps should I take without having to seek professional help. Im already seeing a therapist but shes not much help. except she says i ignore all my feelings now and eat them. and i do this because i have lost my illussion of control. ??? help!
