I have a love-hate relationship with food. Whenever I'm feeling hungry or depressed/angry/hurt/bored I turn to food for comfort and end up eating a lot more than I wanted to. It makes me feel safe and satisfied when I'm doing it and I know I shouldn't but I can't stop and it makes me feel even worse once I've given in. It really knocks down my self-esteem and I work out for hours because I feel guilty and fat but no matter how much I swear that I won't do this again, I know it will happen again and it makes me scared. I really want to stop overeating but I can't!

Try to go to a meeting, I believe they have Overeater Anonymous meetings in different cities (they have one in mine anyway).
Or if you'd rather have counseling/private one, I'm sure they have counselors trained for this issue as well. Good luck to you, do it as soon as you can.

1You suffer from an eating disorder. Talk to a counselor or therapist, or ask your doctor for a referral to a clinic that can help.
2Poor thing. If it makes you feel any better, what you're experiencing isn't uncommon. I agree with the others that you should try to join some kind of support group. It might make you feel better.
Good luck!
3I agree, I think that is disorded eating, although it may not offically qualify as anorexia or bulimia. You are bingeing and then overexercising. Binging is a component of bulimia, and overexercising is one criteria of anorexia. I understand how you feel with the binging sometimes I overeat because I find food comforting. But I still think that if this is really affecting your self esteem, then it is time to get help. Don't be ashamed, it is better to get help now instead of waiting for the problem to get worse and really hurt your health. It sounds like your bingeing is how you deal with/avoid dealing with feelings. A counselor can help you to uncover those feelings and new ways to deal with them instead of eating. Good luck and I hope you get help.

4It sounds pretty miserable. I would get some professional help. I would also try buying a lot of gum or small candies and have then handy in your purse. If you just chew on the gum sometimes that can help you feel better instead of binge eating. Also small candies like menthos take a long time to chew and they are very satisfying. That way you haven't eaten you know a huge McDonalds big mac or something. Plus the sugar ruins your appetite for a time. Anyway the exercise sounds like it's healthy but to feel guilted into that is too bad. You should be enjoying the work outs, and they are supposed to be helping you. I hope you
