Q: Portions getting smaller

I didn't notice anything was wrong with me, I never noticed I was getting thinner or I was doing anything different. Apparently my portions have been getting smaller. I don't eat when anyone is around and when I do eat its snacking. I work out harder then I ever have and now my energy levels are constantly depleted. Every time I look in the mirror I don't like my stomach, arms, or back, they are just too big for all the work I put into myself. I just realized I measure everything I eat, journal, and am always thinking about food. Over the weekend I binge then eat very little over the week. The other day I goggled how much calories where in popcorn while in the Movie Theater. I don't think this is normal. What happened to me? Do I have a problem? My fiancée pointed this out a month ago and I thought eating cake last weekend was a big step for me but apparently not eating dinner because it was too late was a step backwards.

How did this happen to me? How did a diet go so wrong? I grab food and end up throwing half of it away. The horrible part if I don't want to stop. I just want to lose a little more. I'm going to hurt myself and I know this. If I tell anyone they will make me get help and I will have to stop and never lose the weight but if I wait and get help when I get to that weight then I will be ok. I'm insane. At least I know I'm out of control.

Thanks for listening and please tell me how did this happen.

sometimes when our minds are in tumoil and our defenses are weak we fall into the addiction or obsession. It can be money, sex, food, anything.

I think thats what happened.

How much do you weigh?
How tall are you?
How much do you wish to lose?
