| i have binged for a whole week now, i think this obbsessive eating is distroying my life..it feels like i have no control over it and when i feel fat and bloated i dont even go out like tonight!! ↑ |
| I am worried about my binge eating. I am not overweight but am gaining weight fast and am worried about the effects of yo-yo dieting on my health. I mainly binge after work or when i am bored. I have recently quit my job as my unhappiness there could be a contributing factor. But will this extra time increase my binge eating due to boredum. I feel that dieting contributes to my binge eating as if i stick to my diet for a few days i think i can then binge but then feel sick and want to cry when i have put on weight, and for what? I have considered purchasing mood enhancing and destressing drugs, would these help? ↑ |
| I can totally relate to Josie's comment. I often don't feel like going out feeling depressed about weight gain and a bulging stomach caused by a binge and am therefore no fun to be around ↑ |
I am struggling with binge eating as well Anne. It seems like I eat every hour of every day and night. I too suffer from depression and thoughts that i am worthless. This could be because I feel like I'm ugly and I have no true friends. I guess I feel that food is my escape to all of my problems in life but I need to realize that it's not.
I am not an overweight person & I tend to do alot of physical activity but it's starting to take a toll on my health. I often suffer from acne because I don't ration any of the foods I eat. I tend to eat unhealthy and dont consider nutrition facts whatsoever.
I am a college student who lives at home still. My dad too has bad binge eating habits so I think it is a bit genetic. My mom has bad nutritional habits. She feels like she needs to have meat with every meal.
I try to convince my parents to buy healthy food when going shopping but everytime they come back with junk. Chips, pop, candy, ice cream, pizza its ridiculous. I think I need to move out.
The worst part is that it just sits in the house wanting to be eaten and I can't stop temptation.
My parents spoil me with all the bad foods but they don't realize what its doing to me. Combined with depression it feels like it is inescapable.
The solution could be that I need to move out. It could be that I need to be in a more positive atmosphere not surround by bad food and negative influences. I guess I need some positive roll models to look up to who eat right and take care of their body. Maybe I need to get out and meet new people, make new friends, or find a girlfriend who I can occupy my time with...instead of occupying it by stuffing my face.
Its tough though when you still live at home, are embarrassed by your parents, and have nowhere to hang out with a girl.
So I guess what I need to do is find a place with a few friends where we can party and be happy. A place where I can eat healthy, meet new girls, and be surrounded around people with goals and dreams in life. Best wishes Anne, Thanks for your help! ↑ |
