Coz food for me is a comfort for alittle while I feel slightly better about myself and then I don't I eat way more than I'm suppose to I can't work out wether it's something more than boredom or stess or unhappiness or not.

Some people go out shopping and buy clothes to make them selfs feel better I eat and eat and eat and eat until I feel sick.

Oh trust me, I'm very familiar with that vicious circle.

I recently lost 30lbs though.
I've started filling my boredom time with working out.
Drinking lots of water, etc.

wow well done and okay thanks

The gum thing is really helping

Exactly what Cutie said.

I've had this problem... and really you just need to cure it. Cure your boredom. Do ANYTHING except eat. Only eat when you are hungry, and watch your portions!

To be honest with you, this is an eating disorder.
yes it is.
Compulsive over-eating.
Look it up and look up treatments for it.... but basically, do anything else when you are bored and only eat when hungry.

I'm not going to bullshit you, it could take a lot of work. But if it's worth it to you, you will work at it no matter how many times you fail. End of.

the emptiness will haunt you
