To be honest guys I eat out of anxiety. If I feel the need I eat. If I'm not hungry I eat. My fitness pal has made me realize what I'm doing by keeping track... does anyone one else struggle?

    Sometimes, I eat because I'm depressed

    I eat when I'm depressed, bored, worried or if I just can't stop eating in order to purge. This has been an issue since I was in middle school. I told my mom and she blew it off. I wish I knew how to stop.

    I tend to binge when I'm in the middle of a depressive episode.

    Yep me too with the depression related eating nonsense and insane binges. What's changed for me lately though (particularly the last 2 month binge period I've just come out of) is that because I have logged off and on through MFP for a while now I am much more aware of what I'm doing. I mean I would massively overeat before but it feels different now - I'm more conscious both of what I'm eating but the fact i am making decisions to eat it. Prior to that it felt like I was compelled or unaware almost. Ah, it's so hard to explain. Can you be a mindful binger?
