Hello,
I am new to BuddySlim. I've been soooo... upset with my out of control eating that I decided that I need to reach out for help. I've been struggling with compulsive eating since I've been about 17 years old. I would binge and then purge by using laxatives. Now I still binge eat but my laxative abuse has basically stopped. Over the last 5 months I have put on 25 lbs. due to my binge eating. I had thought the compulsive eating was under control but unfortunately I was wrong. I'm more out of control that I have ever been. In the past I would binge eat for a couple of days and then get back on track for some time but this time I'm constantly failing as the day progresses. I start out the morning planning to stay on plan but never make it past the late afternoon. I have a problem with depression and I find that I do not want to leave the house and I sleep a lot during the day. It's probably due to all the crap that I eat. I've spoke with my doctor a few days ago and I'm starting back on an antidepressant which should help.
Ok! on a positive note. I'm glad that I have shared and I plan to start posting daily. I'd love to receive advice on how to get started on a plan. Possibly a goal to set each day. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
God bless everyone, Lori

I really hope you are doing well since you started the antidepressant. I know it helped me to get my depression under control. It is amazing what happens when life looks better. I really hope you do well and am looking forward to seeing you here and sharing any encouragement you need. Keep up with the effort and stay strong...
