Hi guys!
Usually, I overeat. Food is comfort and a way to cope with stress for me. However, once I start eating, I feel so guilty that I could just cry. And then I start having body image and self esteem issues, and I just feel so awful and guilty and ashamed. Every time I tell my friends my feelings when I overeat, they never believe me because I don't appear overweight. But I just feel so...'fat' when I overeat and it makes me scared. It makes me feel like I can't control my impulses.
I just wanted to get this off of my chest. Thanks.

janice_liu, Talking about this is a first step in getting help for these issues. I would start with a therapist at home and keep reaching out here as well. There are many here who can relate.

Hey I want to extend a warm welcome to PC. Best wishes as you get these things sorted out.
