I've been overeating and gained about 35 lbs in the past year, and I'm short so even a few lbs is a lot. I've never had a weight issue before but I know what's going on. I'm waking up in the morning and having handfuls of chocolate or candy in the house. I don't eat much but more junk during the day. It's not the fried food and stuff that gets me, it's the chocolate and the taste of it. I'd rather have that then real food.

Things are going well. I'm in school, relationship is good, family support and involvement. I don't know why, but all I want to do is eat junk.

My mom was just diagnosed with Diabetes and is overweight. I know I learned a lot of my bad eating habits from her. I also know how to eat well. I know what I need to do, just don't do it.I don't really know how to stop or how to get this under control. I'm almost on my way to being a binge eater, or so I feel. I'm open to suggestions as to how to get this back on track.
