I'm 5'10", 220 lbs. I'm a married mom of an awesome 8 year old son. I've developed some binge eating habits that need to stop. I can eat great for the first two thirds of the day and then it's like I turn into someone else. I wake up in the morning feeling like I violated my own body. I'm motivated by a new factor now, my doctor said I am pre-diabetic and that scares the crap out of me. I really want to get with other people can relate. Please add me. I can really use all the support I can get. Thank you.

    Hi Nichole, that sounds very much like my issue. I have never had a problem exercising and all day I can eat well then...9pm hits and I would go crazy with food.

    I had to fast for a blood test one night and couldn't eat anything after 7pm. The lab couldn't get blood from me the next morning because I was dehydrated so we tried again the day after so, I had to fast for two nights, side-tracking my binging habit. I thought that, if I could do that twice because I HAD to, I could do it everyday because I HAVE to. My blood test revealed very high cholesterol. Now, I have stopped eating after 8pm (with a couple of slip ups) for the most part and I have lost 21 lbs. A long way to go but, I am building a habit that will help me to live a longer, healthier life.

    I wish you the best along your weight loss journey.

    Yeah I think I need to set a cut off time for myself. I think that monks fast for weeks so me not eating after 7pm shouldn't be that difficult
