I'm sorry that you are feeling so awful. Weight gan that you don't want can be frustrating and upsetting. Many people use food for comfort the way others use drugs. Its a difficult habit to break. Its readily available, not illegal and unlike drugs and alcohol that you can abstain from when trying to stop, you have to eat.

I agree that seeing your Dr. is a good idea. Its not just the weight loss that is the problem, but the underlying reason for your using food for comfort. Until you can figure that out, it will be difficult for you to lose.

It might help to see a therapist about any issues that are bothering you , besides the weight loss. Many people find that joining a support group helps them lose the weight they want to lose and do it in a healthy way. Do either talk to your family physician or a therapist before you start a diet. There is no need for you to have to live in a constant state of emotional pain.
