I am seeing a counselor for Binge/Emotional Eating. She tells me this is an eating disorder.... I am going to be meeting with a nutritionist, and also doing an eight week treatment plan, every Mon. evening with other women who have the same problem. We are going to learn how to handle and deal with our eating problem, and learn ways of coping, and whatever else is taught in the class. OK, that is all good and I am happy about it.... my problem is this: My husband, son, and Dad, THINK IT IS A COP OUT... they don't believe in this disease, and say I am using it as an excuse to be overweight, and because I am too weak to stick to a diet. Believe me, I have tried dieting, so many times.... been on and off WW, and lost and gained.... and it no longer works for me. I can diet one day max, and by that nite I am eating something I shouldn't. I feel hungry all the time, and whenever I am mad, or hurt, or anything, I run to food. Does anyone else have this problem where people in their lives don't believe this is a problem.... I feel SO VERY ALONE. and like I am a failure or a loser. Please respond.... thank you.
