binge disorder
I think I am developing an eating disorder. Over the past year I have gained about 15 pounds, and its because I've been eating more. Recently I've been trying to get in shape again but then I "give up" and overeat. Then after the fact I promise myself I'll do better tomorrow but the same thing happens. I wish I could break this on my own but it's just not happening and I think I need help. It's just, I am too embarassed about it to go to anyone about it. Nobody knows about it because I don't look overweight right now but I am still gaining weight and soon it will be apparent. What should I do?

this is not a disorder, it is just over eating. try to do something else when you want to eat. it doesn't have to be exercise, just something to keep you away from the food. read a book, watch a movie, paint a picture, walk your dog, whatever you find fun. if you aren't hungry, don't eat. if you are, it's fine to eat, just stop eating when you're full. something that might help is eating five small meals a day instead of three large meals. that way you will feel like you are getting more food. good luck.

Its not an eating disorder... Its just something you need to work on.
Binge-eating disorders are incredibly rare, because it involves eating to qualm emotional problems.
Gaining 15 lbs over a year isn't that big of a deal. Its when you're gaining 15 lbs a month that you need to worry.
I think your main problem is that you're expecting too much out of yourself. Bad habits take time to fix, and you need to take it slow.
If you're wanting to diet, or even just be healthier, try Weight Watchers. Its all about eating in porportion to what you're doing excercise-wise. I know it sounds like something for old women, but I did it for three months and lost quite a bit of weight.
