I cant stop eating!!!!!!

I am the same way. I'm fine all day at work. Sometimes I'm thankful I work long days and have a long commute. As soon as I get home and sit down, I think I'm hungry, but it is really boredom. It doesn't seem to matter how much I eat during the day. The weekends can be the same too.

What I have learned is that I have to stay busy. My husband works 2nd shift and doesn't get home until midnight. I just can't sit around and watch TV. So I go to the gym often. When I still have extra time in the evening or if I'm just not feeling the gym (burnout), I will take a bath, do a facial, put lotion on, do pedicure/manicure. This extra primping is positive reinforcement that my appearance matters to me and I'm making improvements. If I'm motivated, I will clean/organize, but I don't pressure myself on this stuff.

I also keep sugar-free Jell-O prepared and ready. I can eat a huge bowl for only 80 calories. I take small bites and it takes a really long time to eat. I don't think artificial sweeteners are ideal, but I don't have to be perfect immediately.

The freezer stuff is hard, but maybe your Dad can hide some of his snacks, so they aren't so readily available to you.

Best wishes and congratulations on your success so far!

you can choose to eat healthy stuff instead of ALL that ice cream and junk, I'm glad you haven't gained any weight back
but YOU will, and just keep remembering how long it took you to lose that weight and how hard it really was, do you want to
go back there again??????????????? pick other stuff make better choices, and as for your DAD let it be HIS FOOD< NOT YOURS.......good luck

You can stop eating. You're simply choosing not to.

The real freedom from this cycle is getting brutally honest with yourself and asking "why am I taking actions that I know will make me fat again?". As long as you're steeped in the language of "I can't" you're not dealing with your real issues, and you will see no progress.

Also keep in mind that a couple days of binging, in isolation, now and again won't do much harm to you at all (unless you're dealing with an illness, such as diabetes). One of the biggest reasons people fall completely off the wagon is that they take an "all or nothing" attitude. You are taking this binging TOO seriously. Check in with yourself, be honest about why you're slipping, but realize that just because you had a couple days of overeating doesn't mean those days have to mean much in the long run, or in anyway do serious damage to your long term goals.

Take a breath your alright!!
First off i am going to ask you some important questions:

On average how many calories were you eating a day before the overeating started?

What is your exercise like for the week?

I do good all day and then after dinner I go crazy!!! I cant control myself...

Ive went from 230 pounds to 155 since the beginning of the year and I feel amazing!! But for the last 3 days ive ate like crazy... just tonight ive had 2 cookie ice cream sandwiches (220 calories each) , 1 Klondike bar (260 calories), 1 ice cream sandwich (160 calories), and about 4 cups of apple jacks... the first 2 nights were even worse... i ate a half gallon of ice cream in one sitting I know what im doing is unhealthy but i just cant stop! I weighed myself and havent gained any weight ..yet but any tips to get me past this overeating? Maybe its just a little phase? My dad eats all that stuff so it has to be in the house...

Yeah, ice cream is my weakness also, but I haven't eaten it in almost a year:-) . I do eat frozen vanilla yogurt which I carefully measure and place it on top of frozen banana, kind of tastes like a poor man's banana split. I don't keep ice cream in the house, could your dad eat frozen yogurt instead? Are you eating out of boredom or stress? It helps to identify your feelings before you snack and log it in your diary.

Good luck!

You can stop eating !

You have lost 75 pounds and that is amazing!!, think how much hard work you have put in to get there!

You may not have put weight back on but it WILL find you and it will go back on and FAST!
Remember you put it on much faster than you can lose it too

When i feel like a sweet treat i look at it and think, for every minute of eating it is an hour of running to burn that amount of calories and if i don't run it will take me a week to lose the extra weight again.. really makes me not want to cheat!

You have obviously stopped yourself for a while to lose 75pounds so you CAN stop again, and remember a little treat every now and then is good for your soul! but just keep it little and NOT often!

As for your Dad, if he always has that rubbish in the house it sounds like he is at risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease etc etc etc so perhaps you should talk to him and say he needs to change too?? Worked with my Dad, told him he needs to be around for his grandkids!! If that doesn't motivate him then talk to him about how much keeping the weight off and staying healthy means to you!

If you need a motivating friend then feel free to add me , i know what its like having unhealthy parents and role models!

First off i am going to ask you some important questions:

In average I eat about 1400 calories and ride a stationary bike for about 1 hour a day!

1 - Yes, you can control yourself. Don't let a craving or fleeting feeling take away your sense of control. Whether you overeat junk food or not, it is you making a choice and you acting on that choice. If you can choose to overeat junk food, you can choose to not overeat junk food. That's your power, never let it go!

2 - Looks like you are probably not eating enough total for your day, and probably not enough early enough either. You need to calculate your TDEE and determine a reasonable/healthy cut from there, and then get a good chunk of that early enough so you aren't starving at night.

You have a choice whether to eat or not to eat all the food in the house. If you continue this way, you will gain your weight back, and I get the feeling that is not what you want to do.

Next time take one ice cream sandwich or one serving of ice cream, log it in MFP, and take your serving to another room and enjoy it. When you get the urge to eat more, just don't.

When I used to binge, it was due to emotional issues I was not working out in a healthier way.
