Lately I have been binge eating a few times a week. I'm still a bit petite, but my clothes are really getting tighter daily, and my face is puffing up. I really want to stop eating. I "crave" food when I'm not even hungry, and I keep thinking about eating something else even though my stomach is so full that it's actually painful. At that point, I don't really want to eat, yet, my head keeps on wondering what else I can eat. And then, I'll just stuff something else into my stomach. I apparently don't have a lot of self control when it comes to food... What is wrong with me? How I can stop?

Something is eating you (no pun intended) and making you behave this way. You need to give your self a bit of a self analysis and consider what elements of your life you're not happy with as this sounds like a coping mechanism. Have their been any changes in your life lately, or any emotional upheavals?
In the interim, don't surround yourself with quantities of food that you will reach for. If you feel that urge - get yourself out of the house and go for a walk or watch a movie or get engrossed with a good book.

Drink some tea or exceptionally milk too. Milk is extremely filling, and the calcium is nice to your bones, it is often a controversy with older women people. initiate a good habit early! do no longer attempt to basically give up eating, in view that may not do. somewhat, discover meals that are gentle and hassle-free, and a drink which you will experience complete on or happy with. Apples and milk could be good to your the teeth too, so yet yet another good reason to devour them somewhat of a few thing with sugar.

Find something else to do when you want to eat. Seriously you do not want to let your weight get out of control especially if you are petite. If you MUST binge, eat celery or veggies instead of junk.
Just picture yourself gaining a lot of weight and not being able to wear the clothes you want to wear.

Are you eating out of boredom? Find something to occupy your time. You could volunteer. Get a 2nd job. You may need counciling. There is so much that could be going on here for us to answer without knowing a lot more about you.

chewing gum has helped me with this problem. Gum does have a few calories, but chewing it shouldnt make you fat.
It gives your mouth something to chew on and gives you some flavor instead of having to eat someting.
