Default reading can help ...

You offer a lot of wise and sound advice.

Don't demand perfection from yourself. Many of us visit "munchie hell"

You
can learn to make the visit to "munchie hell" shorter and the visits to
"good fuel for my body" longer. You are in a process of forming new

habits,
new behaviors. Note the word "process". You will never be perfect, or

even
eat perfectly, it is too much to expect.

and when
ive finished being a pig and get control back i cant believe how stupid
ive been


Sure, it's "I feel stupid, fat, I'm a miserable excuse for a human being"
"I don't have any willpower." Wonder how many people here have ever felt
the same way? Lots!

If you are eating emotionally and stuffing yourself past the point of

being
"full", sometimes eat alone and in secret, and feel totally out of

control,
you might want to consider the possibility that you are a binge eater.

Even
if you don't know *why* you are eating like this, doesn't mean it it not
possible to *change* the behavior. Consider consulting a
nutritionist/therapist who is experienced helping people who eat like

this.
You might be able to deal with this yourself, but having a "helper" of

some
sort can make the learning process go faster. Do a search on the term and
see if you think it sounds like the way you eat.


***I saw a psychologist that specialized in eating disorders for a few
months and it helped me put things into perspective! I am also a binge
eater that isn't cured, but under control now.


this cycle has been going on now for quite some time and if i carry on
this way im gonna end up dead


Correct, last I heard, life has a 100% mortality rate
But if you mean you want to live longer with a body not riddled with
diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, arthritis and such;
then, yes, you should learn to be nice to yourself and give yourself good
fuel to maintain your body in a state of health. You will look younger

and
have a new spring in your step. You deserve that.
