I've name changed for this, but I've been on Mumsnet a while.

I'm morbidly obese, pre-diabetic, in my 50s. I really need to lose weight. I desperately want to. I have lost three or four stone several times in the past, but put it back on again. I seem unable to stop myself from bingeing on cakes, bread, biscuits, sweets . . . you get the message. It has got to the point where it's all I want to eat, and if I can't eat junk, I don't want to eat at all. I don't actually feel properly hungry for other food and can go all day without eating if there's no junk available. Has anyone else had this problem and did you manage to overcome it?

Hi, I have no experience but think that you are great for trying to reach out and find help. I did come across this link that might be of interest? here.
Otherwise, talk to your GP and tell them how you are feeling and how much you want to recover.

They will have consultants you can go and see that specialise in this. tell them will power is not enough and you need further help - don't take no for an answer.
