Q: 14/f

I really want to get in shape. I'm not fat or anything, I'm actually a size 0, and only 88 pounds. But I have alot of body issues. I never feel thin enough and I hate wearing tight clothes, because when I was younger, I used to be a little chubby. I've heard that if you have been on the overweight side once, that you always feel like you're overweight, even when you're not. Well here's my problem, food totally dominates my life. I can't go more than an hour without thinking about it. And sometimes when I'm alone, I totally binge, and eat ever single thing in sight. Or sometimes I will eat one cookie, and I flip out on myself. So I think to myself, "Well I ate one cookie, why not just eat the whole bag?" So I give in and end up eating alot. Then later I beat myself up [emotionally] for it.

People tell me that I should eat and not worry, but I can't. This has got to stop. I eat like a million things within an hour. I think I'm an emotional eater, because I've been really stressed lately. Does anyone have any advice on how to control my emotional eating? (Please don't say "work out" because I already do, about an hour a day.)
well first if you know that you aren't overweight and you think that it's an emotion thing go talk to someone...

not nessicarly like a shrink; but your mom or a school consoluer.

you binge; but i have a question? to you throw it up after words cause you feel bad about it?

if you cant control this on your own; you need to see someone; because even if it isnt at this point yet; it could lead to anerexia or bulemia; which i have had friends that went through them and they are bad.

if you need anything else please ask back.

Thanks. & No i don't throw it up, I am deathly afraid to throw up. Haha.
