Hello folks, I (M, 25, 142kg/313lbs) don't know how to stop crashing out on food. By that I mean I find myself using food as such a volatile emotional crutch I find myself eating for the sake of the feel of consuming food. Particular and mostly saturated food (Carbs, sugar, fats, dairy etc.). I've had bouts of success in weight loss but it's so short lived, all it takes is one crash out and it kick-starts weeks of poor eating even if I've been eating good for a couple months prior. Everytime I just chalk it up to poor self discipline and beat myself up for it...but that doesn't work either it just makes me care even less about my health. Never been to therapy, doctor or received medicine for it (UK health care) and I don't know if I need to, I don't know if I might have BED, I don't know what really to do. I don't know how to stop using food as such a major emotional response, I have hobbies and go to the gym at least a couple times a week (a bit touch and go tbh) and see friends consistently. I enjoy my work despite the stress it causes (pub manager) and my job keeps me fairly active (20k steps a shift minimum). I don't drive so I walk everywhere, and yet I still find myself consuming 4k cal of food just for dinner because I need to "feel" it.
In short, if anyone has advice, or words of encouragement, it would be appreciated.
