I feel like I'm developing a binge eating disorder based on how my eating habits have been for months. Lately I've been unable to go a day without eating some snack food, and every time I eat healthy (i.e eating one orange) I feel like I've earned 2 bags of chips or donuts. I've tried to bring this up to my family but they don't believe me because I'm not overweight.
My metabolism is still working pretty well for me, and I'm young (18F) so fat that I do gain tends to go to my curves. I understand from the outside looking in I still look healthy, but underneath my baggy pants I can see what's happening! I'm starting to get overall bigger, and I'm worried because it feels like my body can't go a day without some garbage food.
I keep trying to bring up to my parents that I want to eat better and possibly diet, but they constantly encourage me to eat 'normal' so I can stay healthy. I'm not healthy. I feel lethargic and hungry all the time even though I have 5 empty cans of pringles in my room. I feel dehydrated because I would much rather choose the energy drinks and sodas over drinking water. I'm addicted to junk food, and I really don't know what to do, but I know I want to change things before I get older and it starts catching up to me. I'm already predisposed to having type II diabetes from my paternal side, and I just don't know what to do!
Please, if you have any advice for how to get a better relationship with food, let me know. I'm not overweight but my BMI is on the verge of tipping into that range (I know BMI isn't completely reliable, but it's a good general indicator to me) and I know if I go into full adulthood with my bad eating habits it's going to come back in the long term, and be a much harder issue to get under control.
