Newbie
I am new here, I only realised I had a problem last night. I just thought I was greedy with a massive appetite. Then 3 bowls of cereal, ice cream, chocolates and a hot chocolate later I felt sick. This happens at least once a week. I eat "healthy" all week, and normally around everyone. Then when I'm alone I can't help myself, I don't even know what happens I can't get enough! And I can't stop eating until I want to be sick (I never am). Is this worth going to the doctors? I'm not in the slightest overweight but this has been happening for over 8 months. I go to the gym 4-5 times a week which might explain why I'm not putting weight on but I feel disgusted after and want to cry. But it's not enough to make me stop! Please help!

This is what is known as binge eating. Usually there is something from your past that is causes these issues and then it kind of takes on a life of it's own.
Since you are recognizing it, it maybe time to dig down and find out what is causing the issue.. Maybe a councellor?
@Unhealthyhabits5 - I'm really glad you're reaching out - I know that's not easy to do. It definitely sounds like something worth getting support on, and it's absolutely not something you are alone in - many many people struggle with binge eating, and it's very possible to get under control, but takes some work on understanding where it's coming from, how to manage it, etc. If you want to talk more, you're welcome to message me and we can chat. Take care, lovely
