Food is a drug, and a lot of us are addicted to it. We get stressed, we reach for a donut to soothe our souls. Lonely? Pizza is a warm companion. Feeling bad about ourselves? Ice cream eases the pain.
I need to revert back to an old blog entry of mine here that goes over steps to help you get over things like this and to be able to build up more of your self-esteem and self image in order to reach your ideal health and fitness goals.
She's got some great advice on how to start on the right path:
First, you have to acknowledge that you don't have the will power on your own. The cravings and callings are bigger then you (for now). What can you do about it? Get help. Go see a doctor or nutritionist that will put you on a program. This is not about failure or being a bad person, this is about finding a way to get healthy and strong. Nothing else. Beating yourself up is not going to do anything. Love yourself enough to feel you deserve a little help.
There's nothing wrong with going to talk to someone. Go talk to your doctor, nutritionist, a personal trainer, or all of the above. There's no shame in going to these people. Don't think of yourself as being a failure in doing so. You need some help and you need professionals to help get you on that track.
