870 calories by 10:19 am?

Question

I'm 17 years old. 5' 5", 125 lbs. These days i have been BINGE EATING and i have no idea why ( and no it's not caused by some deep emotional feeling hidden inside of me)...i've gained a few pounds over the last few months but that's because i've grown and everday i tell myself that tomorrow i will eat less (because i want to lose about five pounds) but then i just end up eating so much! i've eaten 870 calories so far and it's only 10:21 am. How do i control myself? sometimes i just don't eat because i know that once i start eating i will just eat more and more and more...i eat even though i'm full...

Answer 1

long questions are boring, like now I just wanted to answer your question but it's just too damn long to read.
Anyways.. good luck with the weight thing!

Answer 2

I am the same way when I'm on a diet--except I'll be great all day until after dinner....then right before I go to bed I'll get the munchies. What I do now is basically schedule my meals in the beginning of the day so I know what, how much, and what time to eat. I'll schedule a small snack (i.e. 100 calories) an hour before bed time so I'm not hungry before bed. Also people eat when they are bored--so I usually try to fill my time with exercise, studying, shopping....the more outdoor the activity, the less I tend to eat (leave the food a home!). Good luck!

Answer 3

all i can say is don't fall into the pits of an eating disorder
i have one and you don't to go in that direction! trust me
u are probably gaining weight because you are really growing alot at this stage of life. To tell u the truth to make you feel better, the nutritionist told me that growing teens need 3000-3500 calories a day. Really, I'm not joking! If you eat this much a day and do a fair amount of exercise, you'll be perfect! If you continue to binge, at least eat something low calorie and healthy. If it really gets out of control, ask your parents for help, because it may become an eating disorder. Right now, you are perfect where you are, no need to change. I hope I helped you!

First you don't need to lose 5 lbs, you're already at a good weight. You are expeienceing a growth spurt. Some people grow gradually, some grow in fits and starts. When this happens, you body just screams for food. Its normal. When I was your age I grew 6 inches in one summer. It was so fast it actually hurt. I used to eat ALOT and sleep about 14 hrs a day. But I was still skinny. When you are done growing this will go away. In the meantime enjoy being able to eat!

Answer 5

I so have days like that. You are only 17 so it is very possible that your body is growing and it doesn't feel you are getting enough calories. I find that a good bowl of cereal often helps with my binge eating. When I am really hungry and I can't see to curb it a glass of milk helps too. Good luck.

Answer 6

You need to see a doctor, end of story. Uncontrollable desires to eat and insatiable hunger can be the sign of a compulsive overeating disorder you have no control over. If you are eating even when you are full and cannot control yourself it has gone too far. You can gain a lot of weight and in addition give yourself some bad health problems. If you have desires to eat non-food items (paper, dirt, wood, etc) then you could have Pica.

Answer 7

You have to set limits and goals for yourself. Hunger could also be malnourishment. Try eating only organic. Especial dairy,meat,eggs, and fruits and vegetables. You might find no bloating and less hungry.
