Can’t stop eating

I’ve liked the weight on and it’s incredibly noticeable. I look awful and I’m very uncomfortable.

I’ve tried every ‘diet’ in the book. I just can’t seem to stick to anything and give up. It’s like a vicious cycle.

i managed to lose weight before doing Keto. And lost 3 stone. I just don’t understand why my mind set isn’t allowing me to do it this time.

im an emotional eater and I do eat in secret, I binge.

how can I get out of this? I can’t carry on but also feel like I can’t help it either. I’m so unhappy and hate what I see in the mirror.

i just don’t know what to do to help myself? I’m considering the injections but I know they’re costly.

any advice? I know this is all mind over matter.

No advice as such but I posted almost exactly your situation a week or so ago. I have sought help for my binge eating and am waiting for sessions from a local charity. I have found the BEAT forums and chats helpful.
I am also just trying to focus on small habit changes rather than trying to change Rome in a day (or whatever the saying is!). This week I have managed to drink less wine, eat fewer desserts and drink more water. Slowly but surely and addressing my issues one at a time.

Would you mind sharing info on the binge eating help sessions? I had no idea you could get help for that!

sounds like something I may need.

thank you, it’s so incredibly tough isn’t it. It’s getting to the point where I’m not going out anymore.

I went to my GP last year due to anxiety and depression, when I was given medication I was also offered CBT and a referral to a local charity. A lot of local NHS trusts especially London will have self refer options online too - there is a wait but it’s worth it.
