Hello,
I am having some trouble trying to figure out if i need counciling or not? I am an overweight female that cant stop eating. I secretly go out and buy food to eat when I am alone. I hide it from people and i eat till i feel sick. I try to stop myself and i get so mad at myself when i dont give in to my urges then when i do eat i am disgusted with myself for being so disgusting. What should i do?

    yes, please seek some help. Putting it out there on this site was a great start. I commend you for that. There are solutions and people to support and help you. you can absolutely get through this and come out on the other side a better person, however it is unlikely that you can do it alone.

    You're a "closet eater" and you use food to compensate for deeper negative feelings that you clearly haven't addressed. I strongly suggest that you seek help, you really need to talk to someone to get to the root of the real problem or problems at hand. Good luck.

    I think seeing a counselor would be a good idea.

    I would suggest seeing a therapist, its obvious you have an eating disorder. Same as bulemic/anorexic people...they hide their food habits & feel ashamed. There is probably a reason why you are acting this way, but you need help to figure it out & get better. Good luck.

    You're addicted. Talk to a counselor, for sure.

    It's a dog-eat-dog-eat-littler-dog world out here, girlfran. It's tough times, you gotta keep the food you buy for you. I know I'm not finna go give handouts to people. POWER TO THA PEOPLE.

    You just need to start eating rich ( not expensive, but rich in ingredients) foods. They help you not eat as much and loose weight. You could just go dig a big ass hole to die in. It's up to you!

    binge eating disorder. I have it too, but I have a much less intense version, I don't hide food or anything, I just eat until i feel sick :\ I'm getting better at stopping (and it's really hard) but if your determined, you'll get thtough this. goodluck(:

    Go to eatersanonymous.com- lots of helpful info there. I'm not a binge/secret eater myself, but my college instructor told my class about this site and I checked it out. They have a lot of useful information and special groups to help. Good luck!
