Unhealthy relationship with food

I have such an unhealthy relationship with food and wondered if it's just lack of will power or if maybe therapy or something may help?

I'm an average weight but am such a binge eater. My weight has yo-yo'd a bit over the years but it's always the same cycle. I'll be healthy until one day I'm not, and then I stuff food like I won't ever be allowed to eat again. It's gross and I'd be mortified if someone saw how much i'd eat during one of these episodes. And once I start I find it so hard to get back on track.

I feel like so many people have issues with food these days that I probably just need to get over it and have better will power but sometimes it's a bit overwhelming how out of control I feel my eating can be.

I wear a size 12 and have an average BMI so in regards to that I guess it's seems I'm overreacting, but I just feel so fed up of this constant mental battle to not binge.

the days you eat more are the days near your period?

Crazily that's something I haven't ever thought about, so I don't actually know but will definitely keep record of this now. Would actually be a bit of a relief if I could blame it on crazy period hormones!
