How do you stop binge eating?
I have been dealing with this constant eating for more than a month now. It's beginning to get really bad and I eat non-stop almost every day. I felt so full and sick but I just can't seem to stop stuffing myself with food. I can't control myself when it comes to food. I'm starting to gain a lot of weight. I have been trying to get help but nothing seems to work. I do eat a large breakfast and lunch. But when it's dinner time, I start to completely binge out and eat what ever I see. Please help, food is always on my mind and I can't to find a distraction. I'm trying my best to control myself right now. I feel so gross and disappointed in myself..
How to stop binge eating?
I'm not fat at all. I'm about 5'3, 114lb at my absolute largest (105 at my skinniest) and I'm an 18yo woman. I eat really well and exercise during the week, but occasionally on the weekends, I have big binges at night time. I'm not sure why I do it. They're certainly not as huge as the binges I know others have, but it doesn't matter. I'm still doing it. Afterwards, I feel so guilty that I take a laxative to make myself get rid of the food. I'm always alone- it's so embarrassing! Please help me. I only do it at night and I really would like to find out why so that I can avoid the trigger. I study at uni full-time and have a part-time job and lots of friends and a great family. During the week, I can practice perfect restraint, but it's as if I let my guard down on the weekends when it comes to eating. During binges, I'll eat unhealthy stuff that I would never even think of touching during the week. HELP!
How to stop binge eating?
I've been trying to be healthier lately because I want to lose about 45 pounds (I'm 150), so I'll have 3 healthy meals a day, but by the time it's nighttime, I get insanely hungry and start eating huge amounts of everything I can find. I don't know how to control myself. I feel like such a fat*ss when I do this.
Can't stop binge eating :'-(?
Just try make it healthy food. Don't develop a unhealthy relationship towards food. Food is good, it is essential to growing and life and being happy and healthy. But there are different types of food. And its best to try stick with the healthy ones as often as you can- you will get more nutrients and as a result you're probably going to want to binge less. Focus on changing small habbits at a time. Pick one small thing and work on it for a month, next month do another thing as well. It might be taking extra fruit to school or going to a cafe and getting a hot chocolate after school with friends instead of somewhere there is the opportunity to binge. Enjoy food, chocolate, chips, cake its yum and we enjoy it. But we need to enjoy it in moderation. S Small changes, focus on being healthy not on your weight and body image those things come with healthy lifestyles.
What should I do after school to stop binge eating?!?
The manufacturers of snack food put a bunch of chemicals in their product that leave you lacking nutrients. Your body won't become satisfied until every cell has all its nutrient levels met. The food processers know this and they purposely add or subtract something from the food you buy so that you feel like to wanna eat more of it. Don't fall for it! Check your labels and make sure you're not eating anything you wouldn't directly put in your mouth if it was on the counter. Like monosodium glutemate. MMMMMM! OK that aside, you need to distract yourself. Break the routine. You're used to coming home and raiding the kitchen. So break it up so your mind doesn't fall into that trap. Go for a walk when you get home. When you come back, if you're feeling hungry (and I mean hungry, not snacky!) allow yourself a small portion of something whole and natural. A salad, or a carrot, or a hardboiled egg. Then brush your teeth afterward. The toothpase flavour will subconsciously end your eating spell for you. Who likes to eat right after they brush? Gross, right? Another trick might be to only eat what you cook. So if you can't avoid walking straight to the kitchen after school, start making a big pot of soup. Something that will take an hour or so to prepare. By the time you've finished cooking, you probably aren't even in craving mode anymore, and you've got a big pot of healthy soup for dinner. Win win!
Help!!!!!! I Can't Stop Binge Eating............?
hey i know just how you feel, because its a weekend and i've been eating mainly healthy all week and my mum has done a weekly shop today so the cupboards are full, i treated myself to a pizza for tea (950calories the box said!!) then i've just stuffed in 4rich teas biscuits 8 large digestives biscuits and 3chocolate penguin bars!!...in about 10mintues i feel so bad!!! and very bloated, but kinda good at the same because i haven't made myself sick and im not going to because i've learnt you never get all the calories back up and the teeth are a yukky shade with a weird texture to them, and the msoe you do it the more your skin hair and teeth look a mess, adding to your self hatred. (i was doing since summer and stopped about 3weeks, ocassionaly i have since but i have felt worse after) try learn from this binge, as a lesson to yourself for next time you feel like bindging, like are you really hungry, are you at least enjoying the tastes, etc don't purge! x
Should I take up smoking to stop binge eating?
First of all; I hear your desperation. I’m sorry you have to be in this situation, but glad, that you have all ready taken one important step: you have realised that there is a problem, and you are wanting to act on it. That’s great.I need to know more about your situation. For instance, you say that smoking helped you curb your appetite. Do you only eat when you are hungry? How does your appetite, your hunger and your eating patterns link together?What emotions and thoughts are you experiencing - on a daily basis, in generalon a daily basis, in generalin relation to your bingesimmediately before a bingeduring a bingeafter a bingeIf you don’t all ready, I strongly suggest that you take up journaling. Writing it all down can be a powerful tool, in regards to creating an overview and a sense of understanding.If you only eat when you are physically hungry, and you are hungry all the time, I would urge you to go to a doctor.If you realise that your eating is not conditioned by feelings of physical hunger, you’ll probably need help to untangle the emotional and psychological side of things.About taking up smoking; I really would not advise that, but it’s your decision. It has done one important thing for you, it’s helped you realise, that an other way of life, is entirely possible. Instead of smoking, try to bring food with you, when you go out. If you feel the urge to binge, excuse your self, find somewhere private, and eat. First step is to stop isolating, and creating a crack in your pattern, so you can feel better and start working on the base cause of things, instead of treating the symptoms.BED, as all eating disorders, is an external symptom to an internal system. To heel, you need to get to the root.I wish you all the best, please feel free to contact me, if you want more detailed and personalised advice.
