Food Addiction - Can I Overcome this?

Hello Ladies :)

I am writing this post as I just cannot see any way out of this.

When my son was born I had post natal depression. I am having anti-depressants since this and my son is nearly 4, as soon as I try to stop I go crazy again, so its obvious I am not ready to come off yet!

The anxiety I can live with, I can cope with it and I have it under control. But for some reason I just cannot stop with the food addiction.

Its only been the last couple of years that it has been really bad, and I always put it down to crazy chocolate due to tiredness or carbs because I was burning energy, but fast forward 2 years and I have put on almost 4 stone, and I feel disgusting, I look in the mirror and I actually hate how I look. I know easy it should be to think just don't eat junk food, but when I do this all I do is think about food, I'm either doing shopping lists, planning meals and everything I think about has food involved in it. is there a way out? I know as I even type this I sound like a disgusting person who has no self control what so ever.

Please can anyone help with any advice?
