I am 30 yrs old, 5'5, and I weigh 250. I have had trouble with food all of my life. I have been trying to beat an eating disorder since I was in high school. Nobody in my family understands me. They say that it is all in my head. In the summer of 2006 I weighed just 150, but I was starving myself to death. I hurt my back at work, and have five herniated disc. I also have carpel tunnel in both of my hands. I have had four surgeries so far to correct my problems, with more possibly in the future. Since I hurt my back, I cannot do the things I used to do, thus the tremendous weight gain. I feel like I am at the end of my rope. If I dont find help soon I will pop. I would just love to hear from someone who is going through some of the same things. I dont understand why I find such comfort in food, and then afterward hate myself. What is the first step in getting help? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!
