Of course your welcome! Overeating is just as much an eating disorder as anorexia. Let me know if you need anything!

You won't need the food after seeing a therapist, you learn new healthy ways to cope with life. It's quite freeing actually!

You are welcome, just like anybody else with an eating disorder. In the end we all have the same problems, wether we overeat, restrict, binge and purge or whatever else is out there.

Hi Hun

I'm an overeater too (well kind of - it's a bit complicated, I restrict for months on end, and then binge like crazy for a few months until I'm heavier than before I started restricting)...anyway, I'm hugely overweight, so I obvioulsy do more overeating than undereating.

I don't know how heavy you are, but I tend to come on this forum and the obesity one too.

No offence to anyone on the obesity forum, but I find the focus there very much on dieting and weight loss, and not about the underlying psychological problems that drive us to do these things - which is why I come here too.

I find I can identify with a lot of the feelings people share on here, whether they restrict, purge, overeat etc...it's like a lot of the driving forces are the same, the way that we react to them is just a little bit different.

Love
Sharon xx

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
