I've had life long weight issues. Years ago I lost huge amounts of weight and kept most of it off, but I still need to lose as my BMI is 32. I'm relatively healthy and active, but my joints are starting to suffer and my body image is bad. I hate my body, I can't bare to look at myself naked.
I am an emotional eater, I binge when I am feeling down, angry or anxious. I'm talking 5000 calories on a bad day.
I find eating a large meal makes me feel good. I have just eaten a huge lunch (after an equally huge breakfast) and as soon as I stop eating I just get this warm glow come over me, a sense of relaxation and calm. An inner feeling that everything is 'going to be OK'. Obviously this is then replaced by guilt, shame and a resolution to do better 'tomorrow'.
This isn't normal is it?
