I am a binge eater.

I am a binge eater. There, I said it. Isn't that the first step to recovery - admitting your addiction? Well, I am no pro on the 12 step program. I briefly tried it. I have tried a lot of things. I began buying diet pills when I was in junior high. I was not a fat child, but I turned into an overweight adolescent after the curves started to pop out. I have had body image issues as far back as I can remember. There are many reasons for this, and perhaps I will divulge some of those things later. I write this blog to share my desperate attempt to stop overeating with anyone who can relate. I know I am not alone with this problem, though I feel alone much of the time. I will share my journey with others, post information as I discover it, disclose my successes and failures, and ask for tips from others who experience the same challenges.
