My T told me overeating and bulemia are "disorders" But she does not like to label them like that. There is more to it a reason under the surface all emotions and behaviors learned long ago, that causes it. Therapy can help bring that out so it can be properly dealt with. I do believe this. You may feel worse at first, but just know it is all on the road to healing. I look at therapy as a learning experience I am learning about myself and my self defeating behaviors, bringing it to the table is ugly, but I am now able to understand and deal with it.

Have you considered joining a support group? (on top or therapy) In my area they have an Overeaters Anonymous. The people there will not judge you they are just like you, they understand what it is like, they can support you in your path to a better life. Do a google search for support groups in your area.

Good Luck!
