Why do i feel guilty after eating?
after every meal i always feel really guilty even when i eat something really healthy, its even worse when i eat something unhealthy i would stand and look at myself in the mirror for such a long time and point out were looks fat. the only time i don't feel guilty is when i would only have an apple for breakfast at 7:30am and wouldn't eat anything until 6pm when i have my dinner, i have lost alot of weight in the past year, i've lost 2 and a half stone which is around 35-40 pounds i look and feel alot better than i did... but not happy enough everyone tells me how much weight ive lost and how good i look but for some reason i dont believe them, i look threw my old photos and i feel disgusted. for example, last night my uncle came to my house only for 1 night (i live in england and hes from the USA) for a work meeting and we had pizza, i only had 2 slices and some chicken strips and i literally didnt want to stand because i thought my legs looked huge, i kept something covering my legs and tummy at all times! i know your not meant to sleep after you've ate and wait 3 hours because it gets stored as fat and we ate pretty late, like 9:30 or 10:00pm and i did wait up late and i had school the next day (today) and i fell asleep in class, its making me exhausted i cant keep up! even on family nights when me, my mum, dad and sister are all cosy on the sofa and would watch some game shows, eating a chinese take-out or pizza or even an evening meal i would what everyone else is eating i would always eat a salad or grilled chicken instead, my dad gets really annoyed and says i should just enjoy myself and eat what i want but he doesn't understand how i feel, i hate it! what is wrong with me? why do i feel this way??? :( im only 14 by the way

I feel guilty after eating?
I used to barely eat anything and skip lunch last year. I lost 30 lbs doing so. But this year, I'm so hungry at lunch that I eat a little. I feel so bad about it when I do. Even when I eat at home, I hate myself. I feel weak for eating and I wish I could be strong like last year. How can I go back to my old eating habits? I'm scared to death of gaining weight.
Feeling guilty after eating?
yeah, it happened to me. It was like this: I wanted to loose some weight, I would work out for about 30 minutes 5/6 days a week. I really started to watch what I ate, and it eventually developed into I would not eat ANYTHING until I was really hungry, then I would have stuff like fish and nuts and green beans. I thought I was being really healthy, but then after I would eat, I would feel bloated and disgusted with myself. I was laying in bed one day after eating and feeling nasty when I thought to myself "This isn't normal--I shouldn't be feeling like this!" I realized that what was happening could very likely turn into an eating disorder, or messed-up ideas about food. So from them on, when I was eating I would smell it and taste it and savor it and tell my self stuff like "this is so good, and good for me" or "this tastes to yummy" and when I was feeling "bloated" I would say this is what it feels like to be fed/full, this is a nice feeling" and pretty soon those negative thoughts went away. Now, I am not saying that you have an eating disorder, NO WAY! feeling guilty is NORMAL for a lot of women and men who are conscious about their weight and stuff. You should just eat what appeals to you when you are hungry, and with your working out routine, you sound really great and healthy! It's just important that you are healthy, and you sound like your health is ideal! Just don't obsess and stay healthy. You should be able to treat yourself to cheesecake now and then! :D Hope this gives you something to think about!!
I feel guilty every time I eat & I'm really starting to hate myself. How can I get my positive body image back?
I'm 16, I turn 17 in December. I'm 5"3.5" and I weigh 136 lbs. I do have pretty muscular legs which probably adds a couple of lbs to my weight but it can't be that much. I feel like a WHALE. I hate myself when I look in the mirror. Every time I eat, I feel terrible about it, like I'm just getting bigger and bigger and bigger with each bite. Now I know I'm not like morbidly obese or anything, I just feel HUGE. I go for walks all the time, usually they are about 1.4 miles (thats the length of my road). Sometimes I ride my bike... I don't want to hate myself for the rest of my life.. What can I do?
Why do I feel guilty when I eat meat?
We can't know, since we don't know you, but here are some possible reasons:You feel compassion toward animals, and find it hard to reconcile those feelings with eating meat, which means that an animal had to die.You feel social pressure not to eat meat, and doing so creates a conflict for you,You were taught that eating meat is wrong (e.g. you came from a vegetarian tradition)You feel that it's unhealthy or unwise to eat meat - perhaps you're worried about the environmental implications, etc.It's expensive, and you feel that it's an extravagance.You don't need to struggle with this - you can choose not to eat meat, or to only eat particular sorts (seafood?). You can take a break from eating meat to see if that works better for you. If your family is big on meat and you live and eat together with them, you'll have to work with them a little and figure out your own sources of protein - try not to make it too much of a big deal for them. Help them understand why you're making a change in your diet, and let them decide whether to follow your lead.
Every time I eat any food I feel horribly guilty, as if I'm doing something wrong. Is this weird?
Make sure you talk to a professional if this is beginning to or already does impact your life in any way, like if this thought consumes your mind daily. Just know that you’re not the only person who has felt like this and it’s not weird either. We’re all different and experience thing differently. Please just make sure you get help if you need it. Eating disorders are a real thing and can happen to anyone. Much love to you.
How can I stop feeling guilty about eating?
Sounds like you have a bit of an eating disorder, but it’s still not bad and it’s a good thing you’re trying to do something about it, so it doesn’t become worse.I’ve been in a similar situation a few months back where I was obsessing over food. Here’s the thing, though. We need food to survive. If you make sure your food is healthy, why stress over it? You gave your body something that it needs.Think about it— you could be eating cereal full of sugar for breakfast or you could eat oatmeal with banana or apple, or fried egg/boiled egg and toast (wholemeal with granary in my case.) I sometimes add avocado and cottage cheese, but usually I have cucumber and tomato. I don’t know about you, but I find the latter two much better and healthier, so why feel guilty? Make a tasty meal and enjoy it.Calories aren’t a big deal, either. They’re just units of energy that our body needs to survive. You have to eat a certain amount on a daily basis anyway, whether you’re cutting down or adding up. The recommended average amount is 2,000, but you can eat less or more depending on your needs. Don’t worry about dieting and that crap. Choose foods that are healthy— good sources of protein, (healthy) fat and carbs (the healthy kind, so non-processed foods.) Don’t touch too much junk food. If you’re already doing that, then you’re doing good. Do your research on what every term means, figure out what you need and how to make meals which are good for you. That will make you feel more confident. You also don’t need to worry about calories and their connection to weight gain— as long as you eat properly and exercise, and so burn more calories than you eat, you should be just fine.There’s no need to feel guilty for eating when you know you’re putting the effort in so you eat healthy. There are so many people out there who take their health for granted, but you’re not one of them! You should be happy about that! Keep it in mind— your health is important to you and you’re taking care of it. It’s okay to eat tasty food. It’s okay to enjoy it. It’s okay to be alive. With some time, it will help you feel better about your situation. The the negative thoughts, the fear, the guilt will all disappear.It happened to me, so I’m sure it can happen to you too. Just keep taking good care of yourself and be confident about it.
