Finally Going for Help

I have a problem...

...I have a eating problem. When I was sexual assualted by my step father for 3 years (please don't say how sorry you are for it happening to me, I'm getting over it) I acquired binge eating to cope with it. It has been about 7 years, and I'm very unhealthy. I use to run, eat healthy and be very happy. This year my ex-step father has finally moved out! I'm happy he moved out, but now I need to help myself. I can't stop binge eating, all the time! I'm about 40 pounds overweight and can't fit into any of my clothes. I feel down, and pathetic. In the last 2 years I've become very anti-social because I feel uncomfortable about my body.

So now I have finally decided to go to my doctor on Saturday and see what she can do to help me.
I've tried myself, and I can't do it by myself. I would try a friend, but they live pretty far away.

My question for you is, have you ever gone in for help on eating right, etc. And what do you think will be the next step for me.

New Year is approciating, and I'm more then ready to make 2008 the turn around year!
