I am new to this and I am not even sure if what bothers me is what would actually be considered an eating disorder. Basically, my problem is that I can't stop. If the food is in front of me, I will eat it. I am not even hungry when I eat about 90% of the time. I just can't stop eating. I am not extremely overweight though. I am 5'9 and 165lbs (22 years old). I know that is not a healthy weight, but for as much as I eat, I should be more. An example is I came home from my parents house where I ate dinner and when I got home I was so bored that after eating a burger, baked potato, noodles, cake and ice cream at my parents, I came home and ate two bowls of macaroni and cheese and a turkey and cheese sandwich. I honestly have tried everything to stop but I think my only hope is to lock up the food cabinet. Maybe I don't have what you could call an eating disorder, but I sure could use some help if anyone is willing to offer their advice. I can't talk to my family about this because they all eat perfectly well and are in perfect shape. So, even though I am not obese, I am definitely the largest one in my family. Please help, I am getting very unhealthy. Thanks!!!
