*hugs* i have problems with over eating too. sometimes i make myself sick but other times i go on for months constantly eating and put on about 35 pounds. then i have to starve myself to lose it. it is really hard to gain control over food. if being heavy is making you feel bad try and eat sensibly and exercise a bit. i know i am much more depressed when i am overweight. do you binge eat or constantly eat?

Starving or making yourself sick aren't healthy ways to lose weight, and won't work long term.

I have food issues, I love food but I tend to comfort eat and eat cos I'm bored. And I could stand to lose a bit (especially from the belly region :oops: ). I'm trying to just be aware of what I eat and keep an eye on it, and I'm trying to do small things to get more active again.

You're not disgusting, you're a human being and you deserve respect, those people are just being cruel. Try to be gentle with yourself.

Are you a member of the please be healthy board? Cos over there might be the best place to get advice, both on body image and feeling good about yourself, and on doing something to lose weight if that's what you want.

If you click on the link at the top that says usergroups (I'm on subsilver, and it's on the far right of the top row, by watched topics, faq and all that) and you can select a user group and request membership. Or I can ask an admin to add you if that's simpler :)
