Hi everyone.

I've always loved food but my problem is I can't control how much food I eat. I know most of the time I eat more than necessary but just can't stop myself. I usually eat all the food I buy, no matter how much, just can't leave it for a later time...

I usually tend to go to extremes, so when I put on too much weight and decide I can't go on like this forever, I usually go on a diet , a strict one, and within months I go back to my normal weight.

Then I start eating too much again, usually until I get sick..

I'm tired of repeating the cycle again and again...

I've never been purging myself. I don't know if this is bulimia, haven't been diagnosed, it just occurred to me lately that probably I'm suffering from an illness and must seek professional help. It's obvious I can't deal with it myself.

I'm tired of diets, too. And I hate them because I usually get depressed when I'm on a diet, and am not efficient at work ...

I don't know who to turn to, it's difficult to find a specialist in this field where I live.

Any advice on how to cope with the problem, or any suggestions of a healthy balanced diet will be of great help.

Thanks in advance.

go to a therapist!! they can really assist you in breaking the cycle.

as for the overeating, i suggest buying it on a daily basis so that you can onyl eat what you have on hand at that time. also, buy healthy! so if you eat it all, it won't hurt you
