Does anybody else get this?
If I see junk food, I HAVE to eat it. I've wasted money on take away and had to replace food I've stolen. I always feel guilty afterwards and have to vomit it up..
I try to diet and it lasts a few days, but then someone will buy some chocolates and I'll gorge on a whole family sized bar myself. Then I have to get rid of it.. it's really annoying, and every time I come close to losing weight I do something like this!

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...
My advice is not to just treat this as an annoyance, but a mental illness that you will not overcome unless you get some help from a therapist now. Don't wait until your teeth are falling out and your brain is so sluggish that you can't even think.
But I try my hardest and it doesn't help, because I'm too weak to resist tasty food, it's really annoying.
Obviously you can't isolate yourself from it all, but I would most definitely start with making sure you stray far away from dangerous areas where you know junk-food lingers. And you need to start talking to someone about this. Therapist, namely. That's one of the most important things you can do to stop this.
It is obvious that you have a negative self-image by the way you say that you are "weak" by giving into tasty foods. It may be annoying right now, but I guarantee that 20 years into it, it will be more than that.
My advice is still to see a therapist or a doctor who can diagnose you and then go from there. I still think it sounds like bulimia nervosa.
I'm low on cash so I can't go out and buy junk food, but right now I could wolf down a huge tin of biscuits :S
I did not consider myself fat, just wanted to get rid of few more pounds, the last 3 pounds to be exact. What happened to me was this I would eat feel guilty and puke it back up. Now I allow myself treats, I am still losing weight, have along ways to go to get to healthy weight as I have put on a lot over the years with pregnancy and illness. But I can honestly say that allowing myself that treat, helped how I felt. I didn't feel guilty anymore. I can't say I am cured , I honestly believe there is no cure for ED's but I take it day by day. And I will be there for u for support if u want and anyone else.
I understand, believe me its awful to look in the mirror and see what I have done to myself, and wonder if the next time I am gonna hurt myself,or pass out from starvation.
Many Hugs

Regarding that "one treat".. hell I've tried that, It works sometimes but most of the time one treat is not enough, which is the issue that's driving me crazy.
