Struggling with Binge Eating and Health Issues

Any binge eaters out there? No purging.I bet if I told a doctor about my behavior I would get diagnosed with an eating disorder. I eat my feeling and done so since middle school. I’m 35 now. I feel like most of my health issues could be prevent by losing weight. I have no motivation because food makes me feel good and I don’t to give that up

I don’t know if it’s binge eating but I do like eating. A lot. Sometimes I’m not even hungry just bored or I want to enjoy something tasty just for the stimulation. And when I’m actually hungry my tendency is to overeat so I won’t be hungry again in two hours, which is what happens if I don’t eat as much as I wanted. I have tried eating less as I know I should but I just feel so starved and deprived that after about a week I just can’t take it anymore and I go back to my usual eating, sometimes even more than usual. I gain back all the weight I lost and then some. I am starting to have other problems from being obese but I just feel so stuck and I don’t know how to get out of this point where I’m at. I want to lose weight but not bad enough to go through feeling starving. I wish I had some answers for you but just know you’re not alone . 💕
