The Only Way Is Essex star, who cites Twitter abuse as a reason for comfort eating, told Heat magazine that she is "so unhappy" with being a size 12.
Goodger, who was a size 10 this time last year, confessed: "I think about it all of the time - from the moment I get up - but I still struggle to do anything about it. It's upsetting me more than anything, it's like I'm punishing myself.
"When I think about it it all gets too much. I think everyone looks at me and thinks, 'She's fat'. I hate the way I look. I just feel like I need to confront it. It's like I have a problem with food. It's awful.
"There are some really unkind bullies out there. They don't even know me. Who do they think they are? They call me a beached whale and a fat c**t. They also call me Miss Piggy.'
The 25-year-old added: "It's like a cycle - the lower I get, the more I want to eat. I comfort eat. I can't stop eating. I crave everything - chips, bread, crisps... it's like a compulsion."
