OMG - I am SOOOOO right where you are.
I know I use fat as a way to hide myself, and food is my main source of comfort.
Now I'm afraid it's becoming a health issue.
Top it off with the med that I'm taking, which I'm positive isn't helping matters any.
I try to get a handle on it, but I just can't seem to. It's very frustrating. Last night I ate an entire 14" pizza (cheese and pepperoni) in two sittings. And I know I eat until I make myself sick. And think of nothing else but food.
I don't purge, though I've thought about it. I hate throwing up worse than just about anything, so I haven't pushed myself.
I've gained about 50 lbs in 6 months or so - I know it's becoming a health issue. I'm afraid to go to my gp b/c I know she'll say something. Add to that my family history of Type II diabetes - I don't know what to do.
And right now I feel like I'm starving.
Perhaps someone will have *some* helpful advice. I don't... sorry.
