Addicted to eating

In the last two weeks our therapists have answered 211 queries related to mental health.

I can't control myself from eating junk food. I've become obese now and my mom keeps nagging me about losing weight. She says that nobody will love me this way. I feel so unhealthy inside but every time I feel sad or upset about my body I end up eating more. I can't stick to exercise schedules either, I feel like a bad or unlovable person for being fat now. I wake up in the middle of the night and binge eat too.

You need to adopt a healthier lifestyle but for yourself, not to gain somebody's love. Give yourself progressive goals and get to achieving them. You'd be much more motivated when you're doing it for yourself and not for anybody else's approval.

Loving yourself is not just about accepting yourself but also doing what's best for your body. Try to throw away all the junk food in your house so that you don't even have access. Once you eat healthier you'll find yourself having much more energy and being happier. It's difficult to change habits but you got this!
