Please help me gain some control

[RubyRoses]

I have hit an all time low with my eating. I can’t stop! I average at least 3 large bags of chocolate and sweets a day (usually in one go! And also have other ‘treats’ too). I have put on a huge amount of weight obviously, have swollen ankles, breathless and exhausted. My eyesight in one eye also seems blurry often when I binge but that may just be a conincidence! It is impacting my family life, my work and I am avoiding social events as I am so embarrassed by what I am doing. I know I need to change this but seem to lack any will power. I don’t know what I hope to achieve by writing this as I don’t necessarily have an eating disorder and just need to stop, so why can’t I? I feel completely out of control. Thanks for reading this and any advice.

Eyesight changes could indicate you're pre diabetic

Please see your GP for help ; it's really positive that you recognise there's a problem

Good luck

Be kind to yourself OP. You are not alone in overeating and many women will relate to this. Sugar is physically addictive, so perhaps make a list of what you eat that contains sugar and aim to cut down every day. Identify if there are triggers. Stress, work, tiredness from lack of sleep. Baby steps! You've got this. It took avwhile to get here. So give yourself a while to get back.
So many good resources are free online, such as the 8 week blood sugar diet, Diet Doctor website, MN 5-2 thread, MN Low carb bootcamp thread, couch to 5k apo by NHS, fitness trackers etc. Hopefully you can work out a combination of support material that gets your head space in the correct place to tackle it and enjoy getting lighter and fitter each day.
Best of luck and you've got this
