Have I got a problem?

[sarah newman]

Okay, so I am starting a diet next week. I did have a diet before Christmas and I was doing really well, I lost half a stone in a couple of months. But then christmas came, and that diet went out the window! I do find it hard to loose weight. I find it hard to diet.
In year 9 I hardly ate anything, some days I went without anything. I hardly drink anything either. But then half way through year 9 I binge ate. I still do sometimes. I eat so much, I know I'm full but if I know the foods there, I eat it. I rade the cupboards. Mum did notice and told dad, but they don't really pay attention to it anymore.
I read a comment on another post saying binge eating is bulimia, and so is making yourself sick. Is this true? Does that mean I could have bulimia??
I know I'm fat. I am 15 years old, 5ft5 and I weigh 12.5 stone. I am working on that. I will diet next week, without excuses.
But the thing is, I can't help but binge eat. Does anyone have any advice to give to me? Is it true I could have bulimia?

I know lots of people say this, but I think you should see a doctor about it. It could well be that you have bulimia and then he will be able to help you :) I know that a lot of people say 'see a doctor' buts its true, it is the best way :)

I thought bulimia was when you make yourself sick, but now I'm hearing that if you binge eat (which is what I do) that is bulimia as well :/

Bulimia is binging and purging, usually followed by excessive exercise to avoid gaining weight. If you just binge, that's called Binge Eating Disorder.
