DISCLAIMER-RANT/CONFESSION :blushing: ...I didn't come here to get **** ON....GOOD ADVICE and even a little laugh at my expense would be great!!! But if you came here for a ****SHOW :grumble: ...go ahead and KICK ROCKS! Lol :wink:

Ok MFP Peeps,

So....I have been on MFP for just about 2 years now...and in the first year I lost 75lbs (by changing my diet and walking-and a at home work out DVD now and then) and loved every moment of it! Got down to my goal weight and was happier than a puppy with 2 Peeters! LMAO! Anyway over the course of the last ohhhh, maybe 6-7 months I have lost all control! At first I thought to myself...no big deal..few late night snacks, overeating at a meal here or there, Drink too much a night or 5 now and then -COOOL! Hahahaaa!!! No big deal...I deserve it, since I have worked so hard to get to where I am. Needless to say things have gotten REDICULOUSLY OUT OF CONTROL! I do fine during the day and stay within my calorie goal, but at night I loose it...I absolutely LOOOOOSE IT at night after I put the munchkins to bed! I have to CONFESS-I probably binge eat 4 out of 7 nights of the week. I have ZERO self control for some reason! What the hell is the matter with me?

Here's a little bio on me...I am a stay at home mom to 5....Yeeeessssssss 5 amazing and crazy kiddos. I have a husband that does everything that he can to make it possible for me to be able stay at home with our crew. So it's just me...all day every day!

I get exercise in daily-but no REAL work outs. I don't have the luxury of the gym, and being a full time mom, with maybe 2 waking hours to myself I find it extremely hard to do at home balls to the walls work outs at home.

Annnnnd now the summer is literally just around the corner, I have managed to put back on 15lbs (a lot of which is probably water weight)...BooooHoooo :sad: :sad: :sad: self pity party over here....! Having said ALL of this, My eating SUCKS...I am depressed and I have major body image issues-this is not a new problem...I have had body image issues since the bulk of my weight came off. Myself seeing ME differently than others maybe do. I need to pull my head out of my *kitten*....I want a bangin' bod for the summer. LMAO:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

So what I really need is some good advice...HOW DO I STOP THE BINGE EATING?!?!?!?!!!!!!!

    I'm a late night muncher too, it's AWFUL!
    I wonder if changing your mindset would work? Get really pumped for a cozy cup of green tea at the end of the night. And you can drink as much as you like, one steamy earthy antioxidant filled cup after another. Maybe it'll be good enough?

    I have no experience with binge eating but I see my friend had replied to this thread so I gave it a read. OP, I don't know if a cup of tea would cut it for me. I try to plan my food diary the night before. I include some kind of dessert that I can "afford" calories-wise. I started with the 90 calorie Fiber One brownies in the chocolate fudge flavor. It is tiny, but it got me through my first couple of months. Now that I have increased my calories I've been working in about 150-250 calories for my evening snack. I try to make it count towards my protein goal- I've been getting into baking with protein powders and stuff. My diary is open, so feel free to look back. (FYI, like all this week is the same Black Bean Brownie- sounds gross but it's so delicious, you can look through my posts for the recipe) or chocolate pudding made with lite silken tofu an cocoa powder. But you could totally do some ice cream, just measure it out.

    Point is, you might have to just fixate on one or two things that you can fit into your day and retrain your mind to be happy enough with it. And changing it up or making it yourself might help you look forward to it even more.
