Can't stop bingeing and hate myself :(

I swapped mindless eating with chewing gum or sucking on a piece of hard candy, its not so much that im hungry but that my mouth just wants to do something and tv time at night is the worst, but now i just put a piece of gum in while watching my fave shows, this is how i quit smoking too. Also, set small attainable goals like "i just want to lose 2lbs this week" and focus on that. Remember, you have to lose 1lb at a time and eventually you'll reach 10,20, 30lbs gone. Drink nothing but water to help you pass your food through your body. I've only lost 5lbs but for every 2lbs I lose, I allow myself a small treat like a serving of icecream or a glass of sweet tea and thats enough to keep me motivated to lose 2 more lbs. That way you can still have the foods and drinks you like but in moderation. I've already told my husband and kids that once I get the next 2lbs off, we're ordering pizza hahaha

Do you have any access to a mental health professional? Psychologist? Therapist? You may have some underling issue that could be helped with a proper diagnosis and treatment. Which may or may not include drugs.
Some thing that has helped me greatly has been exercising in a group. Try joining a class of some form. Yoga, dancing, zumba, etc. This will help you keep active and meet people on a similar health/fitness journey. The support from others with similar goals will make a huge difference! This site is a version of this type of support. I am part of a running club. I have seen people walk in very shy, reserved and unsure of their potential. In 8 weeks they are running 5k straight. Many go on to climb the distance ladder and end up running half and full marathons. The work and effort is individual! But the group support and friendships make it all possible.
I hope you find a way to deal with the ups and downs of getting and staying healthy.

I also find that my problem area is the last to lose it! I lose it quicker in my natural waist and my back before I lose any in my stomach. the 14lbs I've lost so far 3 inches came from my waist and only 1 from my hips/ stomach as I call it! And It's better to look at the week because I could be up a pound on weds and by saturday I'm down that pound I was up and another one. But if you go a week or two without loss you def need to look at what you're taking in. Eating is 80% so if your activity is restricted it shouldn't hurt you too much. And maybe set yourself a goal to get that baby into town and walk 3 times a week in the morning, like okay I can be up and ready for 1030 so ten thirty mon weds and friday you're walking. Small achievable goals! wtg keeping with it. 3 days is an accomplishment and don't forget to pat yourself on the back for a job well done!

I struggle with this too. I will say I think having a doctor who truly cares and can help makes a huge difference.

I found a different doctor when I felt like my old one didn't take my concerns seriously, and what a difference!

My one really took the time to listen to my concerns and offer helpful solutions.

I still do have times when I binge (I had almost a half gallon of ice cream this week) BUT (and that is a big BUT) I have learned I can't let 1 thing derail me, I keep plugging on. I know someday I will get there!

Good luck

I suffer from depression and am on antidepressants for it and sometimes I just want to eat everything in the house and hide in my bed as I cant be bothered to do anything! I have found monitoring my moods for a week very helpful as I have found that mornings are the worst time for me motivation and mood wise so I do not force myself to exercise however by 7pm my mood is better and I feel able to do something so I exercise in the evenings and because I have worked hard I tend not to overeat as it would ruin all my good work. If I don't exercise I feel really guilty over my love of food especially bread
Depression is a nasty illness and it makes you feel like you are in a dark tunnel with no way out but you will get through this it wont be easy or pretty but you will get there

We all have down days, just don't be so hard on yourself. Make sure you are eating enough. And Vegetable and fruit have little calories so you can eat alot of them. I think everyone should eat 5-6 meals 300-400 calories or more if you are burning a alot. So don't starve yourself. I know alot of times that makes me start to bringe. If you eat more veggies and fruits you wont be as hungry for the junk. And If you go two weeks and the scales move down then you're going in the right direction. I've lost 20 pounds in 9 weeks and I've had many days where I'm up here and there and I just keep saying don't get discouraged. Especially being a woman with hormones and a person with cravings. And if we're going to live a healthy life we have to have some candy here or there. Or fast food or pizza on a hectic night or dinners out. But we just make better choices when we can 80% and we' know we'll be healthier then we were otherwise. Also as far as skin, I've been reading and it says it takes up to 2 years for your skin to shrink back as much as it will hydration is very important! And if drinking water is hard in the beginning build up gradually. My coach says you should drink half your weight in water. eg if you weigh 180lbs half of that is 90. Then you should drink 90 oz of water. I try to drink that much, some days I fall short though.

Just try to find some good healthy recipes with lots of veggies you like or you can add to it and make them a couple times a week. I find when I have some yummy good dinners I"m less apt to binge. Anyway I hope I can give you a little motivation.. But remember you can do this!!
