I work as a Customer Laison Complaints Case Officer at a major insurance company, where I have worked for 3 years. I left school when I was 17, as I had some very bad experiences at school and wanted to see what the real world had to offer.
I now live with my boyfriend of 3 years and spend my spare time reading, writing, socialising with friends or just watching some TV.
Times are still hard and I'm trying to cope with various health problems on a daily basis but I'm working my way through things and really want to stop it from getting me down.
I dream of some day going to America and watching a real baseball game (we don't have that at all in the UK) and perhaps finding a job I find creatively fulfilling. Until then, I'm happy trying to be me and making the best of what I have.

I didn't know what category this went in but anyway...
Ok so.. I have this problem, I'm not anorexic or bulimic, i guess it's kind of the other way around... I can't stop eating!!
I'm not overweight but I think I am but I just can't stop eating!! I am gaining weight like nearly everyday!!
I don't know how to stop it!! I've tried but I always think oh i'll stop tomorrow.. i'll eat healthier tomorrow but I never do!!!
I'm going away for a few days in December and I want to look really good but I just can't stop eating!! It's all junk food as well!!
Does anyone have any suggestions?? No stupid ones either!!
Thanks (link)

It sounds as though you are a Compulsive Eater.
Unfortunately, there's no easy way to get over this, as the problem is most commonly rooted in anxiety and/or depression.
Is there something that has been bothering you? Something that has been on your mind? Are you worried about something?
Whatever it might be, you need to tackle this problem before you can expect your need to eat to disappear. Eating is a distraction from what bothers people. This is why comfort eating is popular when we've been heartbroken or lost a job or any other horrible things happen to us. However, it is a bad habit and one that needs to be broken so you need to deal with the main issue.
Until you have worked out what that is, I would recommend making sure that you rid your home of foods that are high in saturated fats and high in sugar. It's a lot harder to give into temptation when the food is no longer around. Then, every time you feel the need to eat, force yourself to walk around the block. Go for a cycle. Do some form of exercise. Exercise releases endorphines (the 'happy' hormone) and as well as making you feel a little better, it will help you to stay on top of the weight you're worried you have gained.
Just don't overdo it and go the other way!
