Has anyone been in my position? I really feel trapped in my little "food and hunger cycle" but I feel that I would benefit more from online/anonymous support than meeting someone and being confrontational.
It's a very sensitive subject with me but I need to lose the weight and I am well aware that I have a problem.
Any advice? Anyone in my position too?
Has anyone broken the food addiction cycle and want to share their story?
I appreciate the replies in advance!

I am in the same position as you are, for the past couple of weeks I couldn't think of anything apart from having food and over this weekend I really over did it alot and just could not help my self but eat and eat until I felt sick and included having 2 bowls of spag bol homemade, a tub of betty crocker chocolate fudge icing on a flapjack cake, a pack of jaffa cakes for yesterday after I got dropped off at my halls in uni. Then today I had 4 bowls of crunchy nut, pack of chocolate digestives and then 4 hot dogs. I've had this problem for a long time and it only happens when I'm physically low on energy and it feels like my stomach is taking control and I over eat for 2 days, then eat normally until I feel the same.
