Try going to a support group in your area for these type issues. Being with people in situations similar to yours might help, b/c they can identify with you better than most. I can understand where you're coming from. I bet alot of us girls can.\nHope this helps...&& Good luck\nCarolyn

go to your pharmacy or local walmart, kmart, etc and go to the diet section. Get an over the counter detox. I am almost through a 7 day program called "detox7" and it really worked for me. Plus it was really cheap it only cost about $10 and you don't have to stop eating or anything.

Tough questions.  Every human does it a little bit... otherwise there wouldn't be "comfort food" cookbooks and there wouldn't be any market for ice cream or chocolate.\n\nBut if you do it excessively, i.e, binging, bulimia, or some similar behavior that constitutes an eating disorder, it is a serious health problem that requires medical supervision, therapy and group support to recover from.  Your question indicates that you have already recognized that it is an emotional problem.  Take the next step... get yourself some emotional care.  Ask your family doctor to help you find a reputable therapist who specializes in eating disorders, and/or find a chapter of Overeaters Anonymous near you.   \n\nGood luck... you are a worthwhile person who totally deserves to take good care of yourself.

I'm sorry, but there are no miracle cures. You are doing exactly what you should be doing - getting some help. If you find it hard to eat less and exercise more, then getting help is good.\n\nYour therapist should be trying to break the connection you make between eating and being happy. Once they can un-brainwash you from the years of conditioning society has given you to tell you that eating lots makes you happy, and that sugary and fatty food are treats, then you're well on the way to sorting it out.\n\nGood luck to you. Keep doing the right thing.. it may take a while but once it happens it will be permanent.

Please go see your doctor darling! This may be the beginning of a disorder for you. Don't be embarrassed about wanting to find help for yourself! You should feel proud of yourself for taking the first step in getting some help! And you are not alone, there are so many people who suffer from anorexia in silence, and I am glad that you are trying to get some help. Good luck!! I'll be praying for you!!!

There are no quick fixes for food addiction. Also willpower is not enough for this type of problem, you need to find a good resource in the community to help you with this.\n\nPersonally for me I have found that Dr Phil is the only one who has gotten the formula on weight loss figured out. I endorse his methods because they are medically sound and are gathered from long term reliable true tested professional sources.\n\nSeriosuly if you need at least a boost I would like to invite you to my site htt://groups.msn.com/KsandFriends-inwlc. I have over two years established presence on the internet. I also am pursing a degree in physical education and doing a double concentration in exercise physiology and public health education.\n\nHope that you find the help you seek.

Im no doctor but I believe that you should get some help.  Not eating is not healthy.  I was anorexic also.  I got so sick it was awful. You should get some help before it's too late.

There are no easy solutions, the best thing is to look for small improvements you can make to your lifestyle and then stick to them.\n\nDiet:- Look at what and when you eat. Use diversionary tactics to avoid occasions where you find you are eating between meals.\n\nExercise:- This doesn't have to mean exercises, walking briskly exercises the heart and burns-off the calories! - Consider taking-up a sport as a social activity - something you can strive to get better at whilst getting exercise - perhaps something like Table-Tennis or Badminton.

Hi there - I think you should really speak to a counsellor about this as it seems that your eating is a symptom of a bigger problem.\n\nBinge eating is a symptom of other probs and these should be sorted out first.\n\nPlease tell some-one responsible like a parent, counsellor at school or a teacher that you trust!

Make some calls to find a nearby facility where she can get help.  As much as you love your friend, she needs PROFESSIONAL help. She probably has to be checked into some kind of hospital where they can help her gain weight and teach her how to eat properly.  Eating disorders are about control, not about food.  She needs therapy.  You can help her find that therapy and be there for her when she comes home.  Stay her friend no matter what, even if she gets mad at you. Someday she will thank you for your support.

There is really no way to get over an eating disorder without going into treatment. If you approach your family doctor and ask for a referral to the nearest treatment centre I am sure she will be able to point you in the right direction. There, you will be in a circle of your peers, people who are overcoming the very same thing. They will take the focus off food and eating, and show you the underlying causes, so you can attack your problem at it's root. As I'm sure you know, eating disorders if left untreated can destroy the mind, body, and can also be fatal. I am glad you are wanting to put an end to this suffering and get your life on track. You already have the attitude it takes to succeed. I wish you all the best!

i'm like you but opposite..\n\ni'm bulimic with periods of straight restriction from foods. i compulsively exercise and binge/purge atleast twice a day. \n\nmy answer to you is to seek professional help, but you need to be fully dedicated to wanting to get helped. i'm a 17 year old girl who was hospitalized about a year ago. i was scared to death and basically ate to gain weight and get the heck out of there. a few weeks after returning home i went back to my old habits. dont get me wrong, i would kill to be my "old" self again, its just really really hard. \n\ni wish you the best of luck sweetie. and you can accomplish anything you put your mind to.

if the diagnosis was made by a trained professional, he/she should have set up some sort of talk therapy sessions for you to attend to discuss the reason(s) for your overeating.  it's best to understand why you are overeating before trying to overcome the problem.\nyou can stop the disorder, but not without professional assistance and monitoring.  there are safe drugs available to suppress your appetite.  you can't do this by yourself.\nseek professional help ASAP.
