Welcome to DS and we will be happy to support you in your struggles.

hey sorry to hear your goin through such a rough time. i can relate and have started binging also and once i stop its so so hard to stop, and the emotional guilt etc that goes with it. I go through periods of binging and starving etc.
I dont know if its any comfort but to know your not alone can help.

I also have many stresses at the moment and it makes such a trigger to 'give up' and eat and feel worse and just keep goin, but its not the anwer and you can stop, and you will.

i am also jobless, money less, had to move in with parents, who are now moving house in couple weeks so i need to find somewhere else to go, help them pack, sell/ get rid of my old things, had the loss of my papa last week so had funeral stuff, and gutting out of his house, been recovering from illness too, and had deteriorated health as a combination of an illness i had plu anorexia im battling. i have no love intrests, and stil have alot of lacking elf esteem due to previous treatment from ex's etc, and from various things.
i tell you this not to complain but sometimes to know that your not the only one, and its awful what your goin through but totaly understandable why your haing a hard time with eating whiile stuffs hapening and that others are alo iy may help. at leasti hope it does. id be happy to chat anytime if youd like someone to share with or listen etc.
stay strong you ca resist and your a beautiful person, nomatter whats goin on around you and in yor mind and bofy either.

It's so hard. Im a binge eater. I'm not even sure when I started or why. I've always loved food. I was always a tiny little thing, then had my kids and went from 112lbs to 280lbs. I'm back down to 158 as of today. It's like my drug, but the hardest part about this food addiction is that it's everywhere. Unlike alcohol or hard drugs...we HAVE to have food. It consumes my everyday. Instead of me eating food, it ends up eating me. I take one bite of something bad for me, and feel like a fatass so I eat more and more. when i'm actually eating i'm completely numb to the world, but when i'm done i'm in more pain before. It wasn't until I realized it's not the food i'm addicted to, it's the comfort. I was filling a void. Looks to me like you already know the root of your problems, you just have to realize that you eat to live, not live to eat. And stay busy. Keep your mind of things. When u are driving, leave the home without money so you dont get the urge to go to Burger King or McDonalds, like I do all the time. Don't go grocery shopping when you are hungry, thats the worst. Always eat breakfast. May I suggest 2 scrammbled eggs with cheese and ham....ZERO CARBS AND it will fill you up! Yoiur body first burns off your carbs and THEN body fat. So when you eat a breakfast with no carbs, your body will then just burn the fat. IDK if you are having weight issues or not. Im here with you hun! I understand your pain and emptyness. Write me whenever u feel down.

Thanks for the show of support guys. I really appreciate it. I will try some of the low carb suggestions. I have read that Atkins is a good eating program for people with Multiple Sclerosis, with is what I'm pretty sure I have besides binge eating.

I was watching a program for addicts of TV and one suggestion a counselor gave I thought pretty profound. So I tried it myself tohight. I wrote a goodbye letter to my addiction explaining why I was leaving, all I ever got from it, the good and the bad.

Anyways, I thought I'd share that with you. My best to you all.
