Will I ALWAYS struggled with food and my weight?!


Question: I was molested when I was 11 years old; right about the time I hit puberty. Ever since then, my weight has been a struggle. I've never been "fat" but I'm overweight. I'm 23 now and my weight has never been steady... it's been up and down for 12 years now. I've never been steady or had any sort of balance... in ANY aspect of my life really... but weight is the one that bothers me the most.

I've dealt with depression and anxiety since I was too young to even understand what it was... I often feel bad about myself, and my weight constantly fluctuating doesn't help.

I know that I eat emotionally sometimes... It's almost like something takes over me when I'm eating... I'm not even myself at that point. I hate it. I'm not fat, but I don't want to BE fat... I'm really scared. I keep doing this and it's making me hate myself. Every time I promise myself I'm going to make a change, I don't do it, and it gives me more reasons to hate myself. WTF is wrong with me?!?!?!

I think that it would be best for you to see a counsellor and resolve your issues professionally. This would help you see things in a different light and help you stop using food as an emotional crutch!
good luck!!
