<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

Forgive me if this is not the best place for this, but I don't know where else to turn at this point. I have been overweight since puberty, and battling my weight for the last 6 years (I am now 21). In the process, I have become obsessed both with being thinner (which has resulted in on and off bulimia), and with the act of binging. 

My problem is not willpower or self-control - I have exerted both and by the end of last year was in the best shape I have ever been. So the problem isn't my ability to stop eating poorly, or my knowledge of how to eat well.

The problem is I don't want to stop binging. I love both the act of overeating, and the taste of the revoltingly sweet food I binge on. I love eating more than sex, movies, books, human interaction, animal interaction, sleep, or any other activity. The time I go to be by myself and gorge is the only thing I look forward to anymore. I have fought my cravings for years, only to find that the only thing that makes me happy is food. 

I don't want to be that person, but I don't know how to change anymore, and there is a large, stubborn part of my brain that doesn't want to stop eating, and tells me I will always be fat failure. I want to stop loving food and find joy in something else, but everything feels so empty. If anyone has experienced what I am going through and found a way out, please help me.
<bot>: I am obsessed with overeating, it is my only joy in life, and I want to change that but everything I have tried has failed and I am at my wit's end.
