I know how you feel; I use to eat like that too. Eating and then being depressed is a vicious cycle that is very hard to break. I went on every diet know to man, they all failed. I got the stomach surgery and lost 140 pounds, but I gained it back. The reason was I had not dealt with the metal issues I had. I had a lot of abuse issues and I drowned out my feelings with food. After years of therapy and work, I finally am eating a 1200 a day calorie diet, I work out five days a week, and am just starting to get control. You may want to look into the deeper reasons for this eating pattern; you also might want to join a support group like Overeaters Anonymous. They can be very helpful. My weight category is morbidly obese, but now I am changing that. I believe you can to. Good luck.

I have suffered from severe depression most of my life. I have suffered though metal,physical, and sexual abuse. Only recently gaining control of my life. For the first time, I am living and happy! I also had to deal with panic attacks and anxiety issues, but I have made it through the worse, and am ready to move onto the better. If I can help anyone, I will be glad too.
