Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi thank you for using health care magic.
I can understand your concern about your eating problems.
It look like that you are suffering from bulimia nervosa , an eating disorder in which binge eating as well as fear of gaining more weight occurs.
You should get help of psychiatrist as you are saying that you are not able to help your self.
Bulimia is usally treated with the help of psychotherapy as well as medicines to control the impulse of eating.
Make sure your targeted body weight should be in healthy range according to height and age.
I hope you find this helpful.
regards.
