I really think that therapy would benefit you greatly.
I have had a major problem with various eating problems, and more recently a mix of Bulimia and Overeating/binge eating. But not only has the therapy that i attend helped me with the physical act of using food as a coping mechanism, it has also really improved my body image issues.
I too had an idea that 'I am only beautiful and acceptable if i am skinny' mindset, and while i am not totally out of that yet, i am getting there.
Maybe you could benefit too?

I wish I could get therapy but I have been asking for it for about two years and my community nurse keeps telling me at different times that it isn't available - either there aren't any vacancies or the psychologist is away. My doctor won't refer me to the NHS Time to Talk scheme because I am with a community nurse - but she is of practically zero help - in fact I am probably going to discharge myself. In the past when I spoke to her she asked me why I couldnt' talk to her - I feel as if its more about me helping her to feel as if she might be helping, rather than anything at all constructive that will enable me to move forward.
