    Why do feel you can't stop the eating/snacking? Is it habit, do you emotionally eat, does it help you deal with stress and other issues? If you are at the kind of weight where it could cause extreme medical issues or worse then I would definitely suggest looking at some outside help. First stop could be your doctor and see if there is any support they can offer - eg referring you to a nutritionist to give you advice and information on what you should be eating, and a counsellor/therapist to work on some of the reasons why you feel you need to be eating so much.

    Admitting that you have a problem and want to get healthy is a big step, stick with it and take the next one x

    Looking at the OP's profile they posted this on May 30th 2020 and that was the last day they were on MFP. You probably won't get an answer.
