You know what's funny? When I read your post, I had all sorts of wonderful ideas -- "well, here's how you can make it stop..." Things like learning a more generous view of your body, etc.
In other words, all the things I can't do for myself. Damn.
Seriously, though, it will only get better if you decide to make it get better. That's what I'm doing now, and it's horrible. I hate it so much, and don't want to do this anymore. You have no idea how much I hate this right now. But it's the only way anything will make a difference to it.
So, what I'm doing might or might not help you as a roadmap to how to get it started. I'm seeing a Registered Dietitian weekly to work on the eating directly; a therapist weekly -- going to twice a week during the holiday season -- to work on the issues underlying it as well as others; a pdoc for depression medications; an OB/GYN for some other health issues related to this, and I think that's it. Oh, nearly forgot, I also have a weekly appointment for a telephone session with a physicist, but I have no idea why that's part of my treatment, but he says it's vitally important ;-) (And yes, that is physicist, like a particle physicist, and it's a joke, although we do talk every Friday and we do joke that it's part of my treatment...)
I hope that might help a little, as far as what maybe could help?
