Every story has an end but in life, every end is just a new beginning.

I'm an overeater who just got caught! pls help!

i've been married almost 2 years and my husband has no idea i have an eating problem. (i've been very good at hiding it all this time.) but last night, i got caught binge eating. he called me out on it and now thinks he knows that i cannot control my eating.

i'm embarrassed and sad as i know i've gained weight in the past few months.  i need help. i've tried overeaters anonymous meetings but they dont work for me. any suggestions?

Sounds devastating. You've been trying so long to keep this charade of "everything is normal", and now it seems this mask was ripped off without you knowing how to handle your true self in front of your family, and maybe even for yourself.

Or you might want to look at it like it's an act that was forced upon you to stop and take stock of where you are. It must be mortifying to own up to your husband, and yet perhaps this new truth and honesty between you could help you get the help you need...

I would try to look for a group that's not a part of OA. A therapy group, not even necessarily one geared to eating disorder. Most free clinics offer them, and you can even find some in the papers. 

Don't lose heart...

What are you more concerned about? Your eating disorders, or the fact that you've been hiding from you husband?

You haven't mentioned how close you and your husband are, but have you thought about the option of sharing your problems with the men that you chose to spend your life with? Maybe you can rely on him, while going through the rough times you are experiencing. That way you'll eliminate 50% of your problems, as I see it- you won't be hiding from your husband anymore.

I believe that your husband should be fully aware to your problem, and not just from accidentally seeing you eating.
