      You misunderstand me. There is actually an eating disorder thread here. It's right up there. A few lines above this thread. (http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=70778) The thing is, you might have a serious condition. Something I'm not comfortable assisting you too much with, as I'm not a professional on eating disorders. I might do more harm than good. I'd rather not live with that.
      It's the same with any medical issue - you don't just go to a public random forum and get help and advice from there and that's that. It might make things way worse.

      But if you really want my opinion - then I think the issue is, that you have misconceptions and confusing understandings on food in general. You probably label food junk or healthy completely arbitrarily without scientific basis. Thus normal reasoning is distorted and you end up having a destructive relationship with food.
      Educating yourself on the matter might just set you on the right path.

      But still - very often the underlying cause for non-stop binging is psychological issues, which I won't pretend I can help you resolve.

      Yes. There are other things I have been working on in my life. My pregnancy has thrown me for a loop and set me way back. I was doing actually really well until this pregnancy, then 10 weeks of constant morning sickness really set me back. I am honestly looking for support. I have been to support groups for this in the past. I have read and educated myself on food more than you'd think. I just want to be able to be healthy in general, and yes to me that would mean cooking most of my meals from scratch and eating non-processed foods because they make me feel healthier. I've taken on the stance of "I'm pregnant, I'll deal with this later". Planning to switch to a naturopathic doctor, along with a nutritionist, once the baby is born in 4 months. But I am so tired of being unhappy with how I eat. I don't need medical advice, I was just looking for support and maybe some understanding.

      What archangelest said is true. I would suggest you get professional help. 99% of us here are not qualified to help and guide you correctly. Might not be easy to make the first step but it'll all be worth it in the end.

      The best we can do really is chat with you but that's all to it. I'm no expert and by no means I'm trying to be rude or offensive but you seem to have an eating disorder and to seek professional help is thr est you can do. Good luck man.
