    Without knowing more, I will assume that the overeating is something that has plagued you for a long time. It is very difficult when, despite knowing you are harming yourself, to just stop, or alter your eating habits. It is very difficult under the best of circumstances to lose weight, and live a healthier lifestyle which will support that change.

    The first thing I recommend is that you visit your family doctor. Have a complete checkup, and a good talk to him about how to go about gaining control, and learning what you need to know. He may recommend anything from surgery (if you are morbidly obese), to visits with a nutrition expert, to counselling.

    It sounds to me as though you have made the decision to change, and now is the time to make a few appointments and check out all your options. When you decide on a healthy route to take, all the information and support and guidance you have gained will be extremely critical in helping you achieve your goals.
