Is it normal if i can't stop eating?

Honestly I think I have an eating disorder of some sort. I am a true fatass although you can't really tell cause Im not that fat. I weigh like 130 and I'm 5'4. The biggest feature of my body are my thighs and hips which I despise. They're so big they make the rest of me bigger than I probably am. I guess all the food goes down there. But despite my bad features, I still love to eat. I love to workout don't get me wrong. Ive been working out since 13 years old begging my mom to buy me a stability ball and dumbbells which I still have and use. But I love the satisfaction of food a tiny bit more than working out. As wrong as this might sound,I always need something in my mouth. Then I feel bloated and like I have these chubby cheeks its so irritating. But honestly I always need something in my mouth, so I make sure to bring snacks or buy coffee. Coffee or I should say lattes are a huge factor I guess in gaining weight. I love lattes and Ive been having two a day for the past two days, otherwise one every day. Yeah I don't feel good about that at all but I fucken love coffee! I love dairy goodies so like milk and cookies mmmm if I can have that all the time I would but thank god theres a little mental gap between saying no and yes. So most of the things I munch on are "healthy" stuff so granola bars, fruits, nuts, not like chips and soda hek no. Luckily, my body doesn't reflect too much of my mindset of food or else I'd be obese. There's just that comfort feeling about eating good food and thats all. Whenever I go out, I make sure there will be good food, if not it ruins my day/night. Its kinda like I am addicted to food like others are addicted to cigs or alcohol or other drugs. Food is my drug which is better than actual drugs but yeah...I wanna once and for all stop this disorder cause I seriously cant go back and forth with my weight. I haven't worked out as much as I used to. But when i have the chance I do mostly cardio like every weekend.

    No it is not normal at all. It seems like you (and many others) have a emotional connection with food. Your eat for comfort, to be happier and reasons other than hunger. I'm not saying you should only eat if your hungry(some chocolate after dinner is perfectly fine) but when it's just to have something in your mouth, that's when we need to fix the problem. I suggest you see a registered nutritionist and/or dietician and discusses with them. Also you should try tea, watermelon and veggie sticks if you still née something, they will help with the weight gain. Gum too.

    See a doctor. There are certain conditions that can cause insatiable appetites.

    could be Binge eating disorder I had it for a while and it was triggered by constant bullying about how I was bony and kids would poke my ribs and spine and call me disgusting so I would eat until I was in pain trying to gain weight and it got so bad my parents took me to the doctor. Then I was diagnosed and I had a therapist for a while to help me through it. I would suggest telling your doctor as soon as you can so you can start fighting this illness. Best of luck :)

    I'm the same way except my body reflects my eating habits. I weigh about 175 at 5'10. I work out a lot, but there's still a fair bit of subcutaneous fat. Just like you, my upper body seems to be the only place where my workouts burn fat while my lower body stores the rest.
