Last year I had a kind of extreme dieting thing and though I didn't actually get thin, my weight got down to just below 'normal' on the BMI scale. Since then I've been binging, and my weight has increased by over 28lb and now my BMI is in the 'overweight' category. I realized a few months ago that I am scared to lose weight but yet I hate the weight I am but I find it hard to stop binging. I live at home with my dad (i'm 22) and the other day when he decided to nosey through my cupboards he found all the wrappers etc. And now tonight he says I need to lose at least 14lb. Probably I do but I feel so scared when I think of losing weight, even though I feel envious of thin people and wish I was like them. I suppose my weight gain is so dramatic because the weight I was last summer was the lowest weight I've been in years. So I don't know what to do, I don't want to tell him about my problems with eating because it just feels too personal, but I am scared if I start trying to lose weight I will end up going too far .
