Hello everyone! Im new to calorie-count and I've been having "food issues" for the past year or so. I've always been an emotional eater but since I've been back at university I feel as if bingeing has literally taken over my life. Nearly everyday for the past month I've eaten very healthy during the day, and then night time comes- only then, when I'm alone, I stuff my face with whole tubs of ice cream, bags of chips, packs of muffins ect. until I am so full I feel as if I'm going to explode. I've never been overweight, however I gained about 5 pounds my freshmen year (last year) and that was when I first became "weight conscious" I guess you could say. In an attempt to lose those 5 pounds, I lost nearly 30 pounds in the summer by becoming a little obsessive about exercising and calorie counting. I seem to have taken a 180 spin in terms of my eating habits. Sept. 1st I weighed 110 lbs (I'm 5'6.5 tall)...I weighed myself yesterday and the scale said 122lbs!! My bingeing has caused me to gain 12 pounds in less than a month :( It scares me to think about what i'll weight this time next month if I don;t get a handle on this now. Thats why I've decided I need to take action...

  The negative impacts bingeing is having on my social life, school work and bank account are making me so unhappy. I've decided that I'm going to stop letting food control my life starting now! I know it will be hard but I'm confident I can do this :) I'm just so glad to have stumbled across this forum, its so nice to know I'm not alone...
