Food Addiction
 

I know it's somewhat ridiculous. But it's getting worse every day. I grew up with a mom who was weight-obsessed, yet she grew up with a heavy italian family so she ate a lot. My parents owned a resturant, they know how to cook, I know how to cook. So this is all I do. I eat even though I hate myself for doing it. When I get bored, upset, or pissed off I eat.

I hate my body. I feel like a failure because I know that I'm fat. And my boyfriend is such a sweetheart and he tells me he loves the way that I look. But I know he's lying. No one could love this.
I talked to him about this last night, and he said he thinks I have an eating disorder...

Hey there,

Weight doesn't make up who you are, at all. What matters is what's on the inside, and you never fail anybody. And as far as your boyfriend goes, I believe he's telling the truth, I know you are a beautiful person, inside and out. And people do love you. You are loved more than you think you are.

And about the eating disorder, I think it depends. Most people over-eat at some point in their life. I over-eat all the time, but that doesn't make up who I am. But many people who do, don't have an eating disorder. If you are really worried about it, I recommend you talk to a parent, a close friend, or maybe even a teacher at school...somebody you trust that will point you in the right direction.

PM me anytime.

Always,

Liz
