Morning overeating
Does anyone else on here struggle with the am? I get up at 7 am - have a hearty breakfast (suspect not having breakfast may be the way to go but trying to avoid bingeing at the moment), but by 9.30-10 I'm seeking more food. I start snacking and bingeing so by 10 am I already eaten three days worth of food! (I am not sure…

Is fluoxetine cheating?
I have been in such bad place with bingeing. My doctor has suggested putting me on fluoxetine again. The thing is when I used to run, get out and about and keep busy I didn't feel this way. Yet my husband has a hugely stressful job and comes in late, stressed and wants a meal. I'm with my little one and sometimes more…

Does anyone do one meal a day?
It may sound a strange concept to be considering, especially as a binge/compulsive eater. However, recently I fasted for an operation and I wasn't thinking about food all day.

Pmt - sorry guys - binge eating
I have posted many times seeking advice regarding binge eating. I apologise, again, that I'm asking for advice. Tracking my binge eating, it seems I have no desire to binge eat at the end of my period, and the week following. Two/three weeks (I'm irregular) prior to it and the first few days after my period has started I…

Forgive me for a duplicate post - I also wrote on the exercise site - but I'm looking for anything that just gives that feel good boost. Recently I met up with my family - a large family - and I didn't think about food much, I had a lovely…

So I had four eggs on two slices of rye bread and olive oil- so pretty healthy but my kcal intake has been huge and it isn't 9am yet. Part of me is thinking "oh stuff…

When overeating is more than a diet issue
Hi all, I had had an awful week with constant bingeing. I think it was triggered a few weeks ago when I had stress at work and obviously I don't have the best stress reduction techniques! This coupled with broken sleep. I think one of the hardest things about overeating bingeing, for me, is the way it takes over my life. I…

low moods, food addiction or obsessive running
I suffer with low mood and find any carbs, even oatcakes improve my mood. I have young children too and disrupted sleep doesn't help with my mood. I wake up feeling low and start eating straight away. I'm greedy and have no stop button. Bizarrely, the only three things that have ever stopped me eating were a, a sick bug (…
