Hello Everyone,
I have been a healthy weight once in my life and what kept me going was confidence. I have been both obese and anorexic in my life. Now I am over weight. It is my emotions. I wish I had more control of them. They are often negative. My anxiety either makes me over or under eat. Right now I am over eating. I am trying to find a way to be more confident. That feeling helped stabilized me when I was younger and helped me keep on track. I wish I could be more mentally prepared. What positive emotions help you with you eating issues?

Have you ever considered going to a counsellor? You have great insight into the fact that your disordered eating stems from emotions that you are having trouble dealing with. Sitting down with a counsellor to work through all of that is really beneficial and can help you find ways to deal with the struggles that you are trying to overcome without having to hurt your body,
Hope you figure things out and keep posting here - it's a great group:)
