I've never admitted to the extent of my binge eating, but I'm going to do it here as I think it's getting out of control.
I've always had a tendency to over eat, and when I was in my late teens I first started buying 2/3 choc bars and eat them at home if my parents were out in the eve for example.
Since then I've done this kind of stocking up and pigging out, usually when I'm home alone or otherwise secretly.
Until recently I find it was under control (although is it ever really..?). It was infrequent and I was extremely active and aside from the pigging out I generally ate well - plenty of cooking from scratch, fruit and veg, fairly balanced, very little fast/convenience foods. I've always been heavier than I want to be and have been on and off weight watchers for as long as I can remember. But my weight gain has always been because of this binge eating, rather than long-term over eating/bad eating, IYSWIM.
Anyway, in about the last 6 months I feel it's getting out of control. I'm about 20 kilos heavier than I was 4 years ago when I got pregnant with DS1. My sons are now 4.5yo and 2.5yo and I am the heaviest I have ever been, and I just keep putting weight on.
I'll buy cake/choc/biscuits most days now and eat the lot. I can't seem to stop.
I'm worried I'm going to slowly pickle my body in sugar and fat and die.
I don't know what to do.
