So sick of this cycle...

My name is Nicky, I'm 21 years old and I have been struggling with Binge eating and comfort eating since 2010.
I was doing amazingly well with controlling the food issues for about 2 months between Feb - April, then May - June, and then bam! I fell victim to 4 binges over the last 8 days...
The literal emotional reason is loneliness. The boy I was dating for the past couple of months, who was originally form New York City on exchange, left to go home. I am literally heart broken. I have never met someone that I have felt so strongly about. I am barely able to function because I am so distraught. And of course, what had previously been dealt with, bingeing has become a huge issue again.
I am just so sick of making amazing progress in losing weight, severing my emotional tie to food and feeling amazingly skinny, and then having it all taken away in a 1 week period.
I'm bloated, nauseated and miserable. Now my emotional pain and anguish is a physical one too. Argh I'm just so sick of it.
Sorry for the rant...

Hi sweetie,
I used to be like this... I would suggest getting some therapy / counselling. You have to deal with the reasons you do this in order to get past it! Hope this helps!
