Answer 1

It sounds completely obvious but make sure that you are eating plenty of good food throughout the day, interspersed with healthy snacks - if you are full you shouldn't feel the need to binge on inappropriate foods at night.

Also, you can't binge on what you don't have - don't buy unhealthy food - if it isn't in the house then you can't eat it! (I did this with crisps and now, nobody misses them!)

Good luck!

Answer 2

This use to happen to me and at first I never thought too much about it. I thought maybe I was just hungry from not eating properly throughout the day. But it seemed like every other night after falling asleep for an hour or two I would wake up so hungry it was unbearable to ignore. I would raid the fridge and feel so disgusted afterwards. Those microwave pizzas and Hot Pockets were the best at night! This continued for years but I still never put much thought into it. I did, however tell myself some of those times when I woke up starving that I should not eat it...and it worked. I also learned from watching a talk-show that night binging after waking up can be a sign of stress, poor eating habits and a possible eating disorder.

I would suggest that you eat complete meals throughout your day. Try to eat less carbs during dinner because they are known to make you hungrier quicker. If you wake up hungry take control and tell yourself NO! NO! NO! You will fall asleep and wake up feeling much better knowing you didn't stuff your face and fall asleep. Exercise a bit to relieve your stress..a few jumpin jacks here or there wont hurt. Throw on your favorite song and dance for 10 minutes or so in the morning. If all else fails and you find yourself making burritos or warming up left-over spaghetti at 2am..call your doctor. He might be able to look further into this strange habit a few of us have.

Good luck.

This wont last for long. The fact that you recognise it as a problem means that you are still on top of this. Yes it is a possible problem. If you are going through stress, in any shape or form you could probably associate this erratic eating to your stress levels. There is a lot of work to be done here. Firstly try to pinpoint something that needs changing in your life... Then go to the next step - talk to a doctor. Then the next step a counsellor. Please, whatever you do, dont keep up this pattern for too long. You will end up overweight/obese. Or start loosing grip with your life/friends or worse - your family. It is something that is starting to take a grip of you as you say that you feel guilty about it all day long. Dont let this go on for too long or the damage will start to appear - and if it is damage in the form of weight gain - it will be very hard to lose. Food is fantastic - but only when you dont feel guilty about eating it. This might only be a natural part of being you - I dont know how hard you work your body physically during the day - but it really wont be helping you to maintain a form of fitness in anyway if you binge... Talk to your favourite doctor about this.

Eat several small meals a day so hunger isn't the issue then work hard or exercise to wear yourself out so you sleep more soundly. And no sugar! It starts an up, down, up, down cycle. Screw guilt. Just take charge of your life.

Answer 6

It is a fact, and I have read this so many times in magazines, that half of the time, your body feels hungry, you are actually thirsty, this is my BEST RECCOMENDATION; set a big glass of water on your night stand and when you feel like going to the fridge, drink that glass of water and watch something on TV, THEN after you have dranken that glass of water, see if you still feel like going to the fridge. This is the best Idea ever!!!

Answer 7

Eating at night is fine as long as your eating healthy foods. I suggest having some fruit around the house. Chocolate or junk might be better, God I know it is, but if you force yourself to eat fruit you won't feel like eating junk as well.

Answer 8

eat proper foods during the day, and try to avoid excessive intake of sweet stuff.
