I have a problem and don't know how to stop. Many times I'll eat something (say if I'm craving Chinese food...that seems to be my trigger)
Will eat a moderate amount....feel guilty then make my self throw it up...feel horrible for the rest of the day
What should I do ???:-(

    Hi Terri,

    You should see a doctor and talk to him or her about disordered eating. You may also need to make an appointment with a psychologist specializing in eating disorders.

    Go see your doctor and get some professional help. What you are describing are warning signs of very serious (potentially life threatening) problems. You can beat this, but you need help. I think it's very brave of you to put yourself out there like this <3

    ❤️❤️❤️thank you
    I think I really need to avoid eating out anywhere for awhile.
    I don't feel this way when I eat at home (most of the time )

    You need to seek out some professional help to sort this out. Avoiding restaurants might fix the problem for a little while, but it isn't getting to the heart of the problem. What you're describing isn't something that you should have to tackle alone. There are people who can help.

    Like everyone else said, professional help. Unfortunately, no one here is equipped to handle this situation.

    Terri, it is very good you recognize that this is a problem and your next step, although scary, will be to contact a professional. This is an unhealthy relationship with food you have developed (been there, and I currently am still there and hoping to improve and working towards improvement) - getting professional help is your next needed help.
