I disgust myself

LegacyUser · 2012-03-19 16:11:25

I'm a binge eater- I finally realise I have to be honest with myself. I'm feeling physically sick and disgusted with myself just after binging. I don't make myself sick or anything, I just eat and eat and eat until I feel fit to burst. I do it in secret as well. I can't control myself during these binges, although they…

I'm a binge eater- I finally realise I have to be honest with myself. I'm feeling physically sick and disgusted with myself just after binging. I don't make myself sick or anything, I just eat and eat and eat until I feel fit to burst. I do it in secret as well. I can't control myself during these binges, although they don't happen everyday. I've steadily put on weight over the past couple of years and while I'm not hugely overweight, I am unhappy with how I look.

I know why I overeat as well- it's always when I'm feeling ugly & unattractive & I feel hopeless that I'll ever meet anyone special. It's like my way of pushing down the emotions that are too painful to deal with.

I have been in therapy for other reasons & have done really well with my therapist on many areas of my life. However, when I discuss how I'm feeling in relation to my attractiveness & feeling single & lonely, I feel she doesn't really get it. I've mentioned about my binge eating to her a couple of times but felt she just brushed the issue to one side. She goes on about loving myself etc and I understand what she means. I have made a huge effort with therapy and have come on in leaps and bounds. But the minute those feelings come up- I binge and binge. I can't control it and I don't know what to do.
