in Health and Weight Loss
For the past months i have had a big success in weight loss. I dropped 30 pounds!! but when i was begging to get too skinny i started to eat fattening foods like dessert and foods like pizza and burgers as much as i liked. Some days i stay on a good diet but the past couple of weeks every here and there i would binge eat until i was a stuffed pig and thats exactly what i feel like. I've now gained 6 pounds because i kept eating and eating even after i was full, and today was just another binge day, i've had alot more in the past. Please help, i feel like crying that i cannot control myself over this.... i don't know what to do. Please any helpful thoughts on how i can stop this eating disorder of mine???

    hello,
    maybe you could try setting new goals for yourself? Like rather than try to gain weight, try to tone-up and in order to do that, you need to eat healthy... which automatically should put a curb on your binge eating. Eating could also be tied to emotional feelings of yours, so maybe you should evaluate what makes you want to eat the things you eat?

    as simple as it sounds .. The past few days I have also Had a very hard time wanting to binge eat.. when I think I can not control myself I drink as much water as I can 2-3 full glasses and then allow myself what I was wanting So far it has really helped becasue By the time I am eating the junk I really want I am pretty much full from the water... I am just starting with this so I am just saying what has helped me

    get control of it and decide to recognize it and redirect it when you can- it is a three headed monstor!!!!

    Don't deprive yourself completely of those foods or you will crave them more. Try cutting your portions in half or having a lower fat version like turkey burgers. also maybe if you balance out those bad foods with good ones like have a big salad along with your slice of pizza so you will get fuller on the healthy stuff.

    I know how you feel and what helps me other than visualizing myself at my goal weight constantly (even while working out and eating) is drinking enough water! I have been able to drink 16 cups a day which is the required amount for my size and when I down that water I no longer feel the need to eat outside of my scheduled times or eating more than I should. Also I'm a big sweets person but I have found that eating 1-2 tbs of peanut butter when I'm craving unnecessary food/sweets helps instantly. Hope this helps.

    thanks for the advice, it's not that im not eating the foods i love, it's that i eat a small portion of it but then go back for more and more, and then after that i start to eat other unhealthy foods. I've probably consumed atleast 3,000 calories today, maybe even more...
