I have a binge eating disorder. I weight 140 kilos. I am hideous and feel like I am bursting with fat.

It's in a point I feel jealous everytime someone says they have anorexia or bulimia and think: "Well, atleast they get thinner".

I disgust myself.

I know everyone else has said this too, but depression and weight gain can definitely go hand in hand. You may be bigger than you want to be, but you are still a pretty, intelligent and worthwhile person.

Another thing is that some medications specifically for depression can cause weight gain. If the meds you are on are helping you feel good for the first time in a long time, but you are still gaining weight, I think it's definitely time to see the doctor and ask what can be done about that since it's somewhat counter productive to have something happening to your body that makes you feel bad if it's being caused by medicine designed to make you NOT feel bad about yourself.

Also, if your doctor hasn't seen you in 9 months, is this because you haven't made an appointment? or because she can't make time to see you? If the former, make the appointment. If it's the latter? Yah.. Time to find a doctor who can be bothered with seeing patients when they need to be seen.

I'm sure you have already talked to your therapist about your binge eating disorder. If not then definitely add that to your list of things that you want addressed. It definitely merits attention.
