Hi everyone!
I always follow this forum but haven't posted much. At the moment I really need some advice!
I have had problems with yo yo dieting and binge eating for many years and over the last 5 years or so I found a balance where I was happy with my weight, was exercising and eating reasonably well but not being crazy with it, but I was happy.
I have recently started a new job as a live-in Nanny and the family are the most unhealthy people I have ever met. In the house there is croissants, cakes, white bread and a whole cupboard filled with every type of chocolate and potato chips you can imagine.
I'm going to the gym every day for about an hour and I'm happy with that. Usually when I exercise I won't undo all my hard work by eating bad food but in this case I cannot stop. It's getting to the stage where I say ok, tomorrow I will not eat all this junk and then tomorrow comes and it's worse than yesterday.
I know it's no excuse saying the people buy this food, but because it is in front of me I cannot stop.
This afternoon I ate: 1 croissant, 1/4 large white baguette, 1 bowl of Frosties, 2 small milky ways, 1 small mars bar, 1 large crunchie. Straight after lunch so I wasn't even hungry. It got to the point where I tried to make myself be sick because I felt so disgusting.
Any advice would be appreciated, I just don't know what to do anymore. I can't stop eating.
Thanks,
Kel
