I've been super concerned about my sudden 10lb weight gain for a while now. Now I'm stuffing my face at night with anything I can grab then I just throw it up after a soda. And I get nervous when people see me eat so I wait till later. Now I can't help but do it. When I don't I feel completly stressed and fat. Does anybody know what this is and should I go to the clinic or something? Has anybody been through that before? I don't know what's going on!

You're most likely going through a state of bulimia, which is an eating disorder which could lead to many serious things. And before you freak out and start kicking yourself, relax. I've been there, done that. I know what it feels like to look at yourself in the mirror and think you're fat and gross, and decide to treat yourself with food, and you don't stop because you know exactly where it will go later... in the toilet. But let me tell you right now, you can stop before it gets out of control. The name of is an ugly thing right? "Bulimia"...it makes you seem like a person who needs to be in an institution...or at least that's what it felt for me. But truth is, you can fight this..sometimes not on your own, and you need help! And that's totally fine. Trust me, you want the help. It's normal for you to throw a fit and be like I'M FINE! IT'S OKAY. I JUST DIDN'T FEEL GOOD. In time this will all start to make sense. But as for what I can tell you, this is very dangerous. And I've delt with it and I know it feels totally humiliating. But let me say this- 10 pounds is nothing! I know it seems huge, it seems like every time you go on the scale and you see the numbers increase you just want to rip your head off right? Or you want to go stuff your face because you think your worthless and out of control, but then you just go puke it up later because you're guilty. If you're thinking YES YES YES, then I know what you're going through. The best thing for you to do is go to the school, tell everyone you have a doctor's appointment, and go talk to the school counselor. Honestly, it will save your life, even if you don't know it yet.
Suggestions ^^: talk to school counselor, before you feel the urge to throw up, write in a journal and write out why you're about to purge.
Hun, I know you can fight this just like I did! I have tons and tons of faith in you. stop this before it's too late. BEST OF LUCK xoxo

What you've described is an eating disorder called bulimia. It can be deadly so you need to seek help right away. I've been bulimic for 12 years and you don't want to go down the road I've been on. The longer you wait, the harder it is to stop. You can email me if you'd like to.

Well portion size may be something here! If you are on the skinny side eating a bigger meal than usual it is that, if you are on the bigger side eating a bigger or smaller meal than usual it may also be that! If not, then try check allergies! But remember! if all else fails, the doctor always has an answer!
