I would be similar⁸. I eat many good things, but can binge on the bad too.My wllpower as regards food has always been poor

Should decrease portions too.

I do enjoy other tbings, howevet could launch into an eating binge if someone upsets me, ot even if tired.

Haven't you got any other interests or is their anything else you have always wanted to try, maybe you could find something that you would enjoy equally or more than eating.

I was on a medication that made me sleep eat and I wouldn't remember doing it. In turn, even being off the medicine, I now love food so much and have a binge eating disorder and gained 60 lbs in less than 5 months. I am in treatment for it but I understand. My favorite thing to do is eat at restaurants or take out and I get so excited. I also love it so much I spend too much money. So recently, I'm drinking more water, trying to eat healthy and keep busy with listening to music or doing arts and crafts. Do you have any hobbies?

I understand. I'm in the middle of a panic attack because I'm having irrational fears I think right now. But I'll get through it. I have to get up and do something to distract myself
