How Can I Stop?

Here's my situation: I am a 23 year old mother of a two year old little girl and I want to set a good example for her. I'm only five feet tall and I'm supposed to weight 130 but I weight ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY THREE POUNDS! I know that doesn't seem like a lot but it really makes me out of energy and lowers my self esteem. I hate that clothes don't fit right and I hate feeling like Im going to get sick when I look in the mirror. I know how to lose weight but my problem is I just can't stop eating. If I see food,; I eat. If someone else is eating: I eat. If I'm bored: I eat. If I'm tired: I eat. I just wish I could stop myself but I don't know how. No one is here all day with me so no one can stop me but myself. I am so angry with myself and at times I want to "get sick" but I know that's wrong. I'm reaching out for help so please, anyone, tell me how to stop being addicted to food.

Hi Carman,
I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I have been in where you are with the food, and so have countless others that I know. I am a Compulsive Overeator, and I found recovery, friendship and a whole lot more in Overeators Anonymous. I'm at work right now and can't write as much as I want to. I will email you when I get home. If you get this before you get my email check out www.oa.org. One Day At A Time, Kristie
