Hi, I am a normal, happy, 17 (almost 18) year old who has always been slightly over wieght. Last year i lost about 30 pounds, by dieting and exercising religously, putting me at a very healthy wieght and I felt very good about myself. But then over the summer I just started to eat. And eat and eat. I have always been a healthy eater, but now my problem is I eat way to much. I even when I am not hungry gorge myself on food. I mean anything around the house. And even when I am full I just keep eating. I dont understand why I do this. I HATE the fact that I do and yet I dont seem to be able to control myself. I tend to just binge whenever I am by myself. I have never thrown up afterwards, even though I wish I could, I just never have been able to. What really troubles me is that I am such a happy, active person and yet I feel no control over what goes into my mouth. I was just wondering if you had any ideas as to why I have developed this habit and what I can do to put an end to it.
