Guys,

I am very frantic and panicked right now. I have lost about 17 lb so far. Somehow, I managed to reel in my eating during that time. Eating has always been the biggest obstacle for me.

Now, however, my appetite has returned to the state it was before, back when I felt that I couldn't reel it in and lose weight.

I don't know how this happened or how to get back. I've lost control. I am trying to stay around maintenance calories or to a little over. I'm very frightened and ashamed and I know if I can't get control again then I am going to lose my progress, regain weight, and be unable to lose any more. I've been off track for a few weeks now and I don't know what to do. I feel like crying. Help me please.....

Also, I've been able to do okay during the day, but when night comes, it's like all I can do to find peace is to eat, and it's killing me because I don't want to be fat anymore but I don't know how else to cope. Any ideas? (And please don't be hateful, I can't take it right now....thanks.)

Note: I'm posting this in multiple groups and spots for best results, just in case anyone sees it multiple times....

  • I only find peace when I eat too. I work 2-11pm almost everyday at a store, and I am always under high stress. Then at home I am treated like garbage..

    I eat boxes of waffles, cartons of ice cream, jumbo bags of candy.. all within an hour. I used to be severely underweight and now I am borderline obese. I am so embarrassed to show my face anywhere.

    I know one thing. You are not alone.

    This is definitely a step in the right direction. It's hard to get better alone..

    Sending you a friend invite, hope you don't mind.

    Hello!

    Of course I don't mind being friends. It's great that you're trying to take control of your life, too. We can do this together. Thanks for your kind words and good luck to you. I know we can both have success if we don't give up!

    i'm still struggling to lose weight that i gained from my first pregnancy in 2009. i've only recently realized that i'm a binge eater and i do it to feel better which after i do it i feel horrible. what helps for me is keeping anything i can binge on out of the house. I do not buy it. my kids are almost 2 and almost 4 so i don't have to deal with them asking for things, but i know thats what i have to do. i constantly think about ordering a pizza or going to get ice cream but i don't mostly because i look at it from a financial aspect and keep telling myself i don't have the money to spend on a ordering a pizza or for junk food in general. i still look in my fridge from time to time usually when i'm bored or stressed to see if i have sometime to binge on, which i know i don't but i'm still looking for anyway.
