Does this sound like bull**** to you?
OK 1st of all I have to apologise for this thread being really self-indulgent.
I'm currently slightly over-weight and have MAJOR issues with my body, I really hate it, I over-eat and binge eat and have had eating disorders for a few years. I know a LOT about healthy eating + the effects of obesity, being inactive + eating too much saturated fat, I know a lot about eating disorders, motivation to change, reasons for depending on food etc from books/professional advice/personal experience and that of many others.
However much I plan to be better, to motivate myself and look positively upon myself I am drawn to keep eating.
I had a chat with my counsellor at school and asked her if she could help me find out whats stopping me from changing, she doesn't believe that I'm just lazy because in a lot of other ways I'm not lazy- I'm not so sure.
I don't get on with my family and they don't get on with eachother. I moved house when I was 10 because of an argument with the neighbours which was my Mum's fault and I've never felt like where I live now is home, it feels empty because I don't connect with either of my parents and both my sisters have left home. I find it difficult to make close friends or depend on people and spend a lot of time alone.
An explanation she offered was that I eat to 'fill a hole' left by lack of interaction with my parents, lack of concern or respect by my Mum + not being able to rely on anyone- therefore 'attatching' to food as something to rely on.
In some ways it makes sense but in real life does this just sound like I am fat, lazy and using excuses some hippy counsellor made up?

Aww doll you sound exactly like me.I'm just under over weight and I've suffered from every eating disorder under the sun.
At the moment I'm really struggling with binge eating.I'll eat loads and loads and I don't know why and then I'll feel so disgusting afterwards.I sometimes throw it back up but sometimes not.It really is horrible isn't it?
I also know so much about healthy eating etc and do try hard to put it into practice but then I'll just fancy a biscuit...one biscuit turns into ten turns into five bowls of cereal turns into....more and more food.It's horrible not being able to control it.
I had a lot of problems with my family as a child so hmm...
I'd certainly say you do have a problem if it's something you can't control.Like most people can regulate what they eat as to whether they are hungry or not...but if you can't control what you are doing there is definitely a problem.
It's hard I know.
