PLEASE HELP!!!!

I am an emotional eater and I am always craving food. I cannot stick to any diet and exercise is not working any more because I eat late night and all the food that I crave is bad for me. I cheat diets and I hide sometimes, so my family doesn't see me eating all the time. I was talking to someone professionally about this and I was on therapy, but it didn't help. I went through the period of time in my life (when I was 17 years old) when the food was not available to me all the time (during war in Bosnia). I remember stomach pains from hunger and my therapist thinks that my issues are related to that. I know I don't want to ever have that feeling when you are in pain because you didn't have a good meal in weeks. Food now makes me feel safe and makes me feel good (temporarily). After every time I overeat, I am so mad at myself. I cannot stand the weight I am carrying. I am 5'3" and 178 pounds. I don't feel good about myself and I often feel depressed to the point I don't like to go anywhere or do anything.

I am also very concern about my health if I don't get my eating under control. I have IBS, GERD 9taking Nexium), high cholesterol and triglycerides (taking Tricor and Zocor). My dad had diabetes and it runs on his side of the family. My doctor told me if I don't lose the weight that I have very high chance of becoming a diabetic.

Is there something out there that can help me control my appetite? I stop smoking by taking Chantix (this pill killed the crave for nicotine to the point that I felt sick if I tried to smoke while taking it). I hope that there is something out there that can make me feel the same way about the food.... :cry:

Changing your self talk can help you, you could try this video, use headphones for the most powerful results.

Thank you Julius.

I am little bit disappointed that people read posting, but no one is replaying. I thought that this is the site where you can get support from others

Hi Mila333, being disappointed in people can never bring us consistent happiness. Everyone is trying their best, we can forgive them and accept them for who they are, and this is a very healing set of thought patterns.

How can an addict stop using? As a former addict, I stopped using by choosing to be satisfied with my life.

You are right. I am not satisfied with my life, but I am not sure what is missing. I have been through the hell since I was 15 years old with growing up in war, to getting married to abusive man. 13 years of physical and mental abuse, I finally found the courage to leave and take my kids with me. I was diagnosed with PTSD and I am seeing therapist, but I have hard time to look forward and blocking past. I feel I am depressed and I hope I can just snap out of it one day. I feel I am in the bubble that is not allowing me to get out and I feel stuck. Food is the only thing that makes me feel good. I love my kids to death and I want to get better for them; I feel guilty that they are not enough for me to get motivated to stop eating myself to death :cry:

The message I was given as a kid was "You are not good enough", it took me many years to realise that I am good enough just as I am, that everyone is good enough just as they are, we don't need to beat ourselves up, we can notice that we are all different, we all have something unique to offer the world, we all have something to give and the more that we give with love, the more we get back with love in return.

You are probably the same, you were taught that you were not good enough as a kid, the only person who can tell you that you are good enough now is yourself. I can say it to you, but it won't mean anything unless you choose to believe it for your self. You are amazing. We all are. We can admit it to ourselves if we choose to.
