I think the problems started back in my freshman year of high school. I joined the wrestling team and from that moment everything became about weight management. I couldn't gain or lose a pound if I wanted to stay within my weight class. After wrestling ended in high school I started binge eating and ended up gaining 70lbs in a period of two years. In 2013 I started my weight loss journey and as of right now I am back down to that same weight I was in high school with a weight loss of 70lbs. The problem is as of late I have had uncontrollable binge eating spirals where I will consume up to 4000-6000 calories to the point where I feel like I need to vomit and then I feel miserable so I fast for 1-3 days to make up for it. I am struggling to control these urges everyday and being an athletic young male, I feel as though my food addiction is instantly written off and not taken seriously. I need some kind of support and I have no idea where to look so I thought I would start here. If you have had experiences similar to this or struggle with food addiction, I would really appreciate if you could reach out to me and offer support or advice. I feel that if this goes unchecked that it will leave my life in shambles and I will have lot everything I have worked so hard for these past couple years.

Hey, I'll send you a PM as I've been through a similar past History myself and figured it might be of some reassurance to know you ain't alone in this struggle. It is a tough journey to recovery but with the right attitude and support anything is possible0
