Hello everyone, I am a 21 year old woman (about to be 22 in a week) who has been overweight my entire life. But the past couple of years, it’s been very bad. When I started college I started going through a lot of major

Life things like losing all my friends, having to take care of sick family members, working and going to school. These things led to me just not caring for a long time. Since Covid I’ve gained around 120 lbs (I’m 320lbs). Having my own money i just kept door dashing or putting every dollar into food. I literally have no savings because all my money goes to eating food. Im starting to experience some serious physical issues that’s really scaring me. I just don’t ever feel good anymore.

I don’t know how to make lasting change. I’ve been on and off diets my entire life but nothing sticks because I just binge. It’s like I’m not even in my body/ have the awareness in the moment to even say no to myself. Idk how to snap out of this behavior that’s literally killing me. everyone in my family has died of heart disease and last week I went to get fast food 5 times.

On top of this I have my own mental and physical issues, like I just got blood work and my thyroid levels were at like a 8.9, which is not good. I was told I hade BED but I don’t know much about it because my therapist wasn’t the best. There have been times I’ve eaten to the point of throwing up and then still wanting to continue after. I was even on Wegovy and now it didn’t matter the physical pain it caused me to eat so much because I still did it. To the point I had such bad heart burn I thought I was having a heart attack at 20 years old.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to not binge anymore? How to stay motivated and be in the moment? I just want to be in control of myself. I’m beginning to build a life with my boyfriend and I want to live long enough to enjoy it and not let food rule my life anymore. I know we enable each other so any tips on how to stop this would also be nice. Truly, Anything is welcomed. Please I’m really desperate because I’m so scared.
