I am 36 years old and have had a problem with compulsive eating since I was 17 years old. I lost about 60 pounds and was able to keep it off for about 6 months. As of today I have gained back about 50 pounds. I wake up in the morning thinking about junk food. I try to talk myself into only having a few peices of whatever I am eating. However, once I eat one small piece of any carbohydrate/sugars, I get out of control. Whenever I am at a buffet or a dinner party, I become very anxious by all of the food that is in my presence. I recently lost about 15 pounds before christmas and now have regained about 10 pounds of the weight I lost. I have been battling with this weight loss roller coaster with the use of diets, pills, laxatives, fat/carb burners, body wraps, hypnosis and exercise. I beinge and then say that I will not do it again tomorrow, but somehow it happens again. This addiction to food has overwhelmed me and it is hard to explain to other people. I need advice about how to free myself of this addiction. I have sincerely tried everything else and nothing works permantly.
