Hi Everyone,

I have been struggling with Night Eating Syndrome for about four years now. For those of you who aren't familiar, it's when individuals wake up from their sleep to binge on food, sometimes several times throughout the night. It's caused me to gain over 10 pounds, despite my healthy eating and exercise during the day. I'm wondering if any of you deal with this, or perhaps something similar. Looking for some support to overcome this.

Thanks friends!

Ashley

    I know the the feeling. I can be sleeping soundly or so I think and the wake up and start eating! Sometimes it feels like I can't stop! And it doesn't matter what - just whatever is handy! You can add me as a friend if you like.

    I am at my weakest when I wake up in the middle of the night to use restroom. That is when many of my binges have happened. And I'm not talking about a quick snack... I mean a mindless binge that qualifies under medical definition of a binge.

    5 of my 6 July binges all have happened in the middle of the night when I get up to use restroom. On the plus side, I know when I am at my weakest. Not sure what I can do about it though.
