About two years ago I went through an eating disorder where I would make myself eat something every two days. It was not on purpose I just was not hungry or if I though about food I would feel nauseous. I knew not having food in my system was bad for my body so I would force my self to eat every once in a while.

Now I am the complete opposite. I can not stop eating and I am always thinking about food. I eat past the point of being full and I feel like I can not control myself. I eat every hour of the day and when I am not eating all I can think about it food. I am starting not to fit in my clothes and it is making me hate myself. I find it difficult to control myself on portions, but once I am done going on a binge I feel bad about myself afterwards.

I can't seem to find a balance and I really do not know what to do It also does not help that I work in a fully stocked kitchen 9 hours of the day and constantly surrounded by food.

How does one even begin to attain self control?????

Do you work a lot? Or are you part of an activity or sport that maybe causing you to burn lots of calories and feel a lot more hungry? Are you drinking enough water? There are lots of ways to help control, just make sure you get it healthily. But don't stress too much. How old are you? You could just be growing again depending on your age.

Yes I work about 25-30 hours a week and I am taking 5 classes at a University. I am 22 I do not think I am growing anymore. I only do about 30 minutes of low intensity exercise. I also try to drink a lot of water to help control my binges but it does not work. Once I put some food in my stomach I cant seem to stop. It feels like I am in auto pilot just eating away. I know while I am doing it that I am going to regret it later, yet I still keep eating.
