I can't stop binge eating !?

Question

I know "binging" is bad for you. I claim that I'm a health freak, which in turn causes me to occasionally come to a point of nutritional insanity in which I compleatly binge late at night.

Ive seen this show, idk which but it was on tv ok, and talking about this poor girl that binge eats and her story and her story goes like this ...

Was just talking about this girl that was anorexia and would out late at night and binge, first go to one 7/11 or types of stores like that and get some food, some sweets your favorite type of candy bar and such and then get a drink, maybe some chips and pay and leave. From there she would eat a little and then go to jack in the box and order food through the drive though and when approaching that window where you gotta pay and receive your food she would cover what she already had so the drive though employee would think wow, I am giving you food and you already have food and being thinking in my mind if that situation were to happen, I would lie

and say nah I am heading over to a friends.. From there she would head home, she was driving from work to her home witch was about a one hour drive to make all these stops listed above, ok so when she would leave from there and then go to another liquor store and pick up some more items and did it this way so nobody knew she already had the food being secretive about it her problem from anybody. She would go home and do it again on a daily basis.

Now with me, I smoke cannabis daily in the evening and that could be the problem right there creating a temporarily problem and also I am a legal medical user of this drug and not a drug user of any illegal drugs.

Ok and on with it, A friend of mind that works at a club said he had some extraordinary cannabis and had given to me and I get really really hungry as one of the side effects I am experiencing. Then what had me thinking, freaking, after watching that show about that girl when she said how she used to go to different places so nobody would know, I do the same but not all the time.

So what I did was simply change my diet around, I bought a case of naked drinks, all flavors which have no fat and just fruit, bought bananas, made salmon and I take a lot of vitamins and one being omega-3 and eat a lot of fish ok so when this happens I eat all kind of healthy food and I go to the gym daily, I am not concerned about weight cause even when I was binging on all the sweets I would never gain a pound. But new it was not healthy so now when I binge. I eat all fruits and heath foods that I love.

I also take Celexa daily and Xanax when needed, usually I binge for sure when I am on Xanax.

"You got some problems" from the first poster, that made me laugh, thinking haha i have a binge eating problem. .

however I left out a huge, before I started eating all the heatlh food I was doing what that girl in the story go to am/pm goto the hox box and get a rib sandwitch, two corn dorgs and a hotdog and a arizona tea, them eat some of the food and goto a jack in the box and got some breakfest cause I love breakfast and went home but I covered the food so the drive though didn't see it..

im skinny, like 15% fat and don't understand it, im very active inthe gym though..

To the poster that brought up the water, I drink ALOT of water since I take those meds, don't want constipation, so yea I drink about 4 bottles of aquafina 1 liter a day.

The worse part is in the morning, I feel bloated and nasty and a stomach ache which makes you get all upset, just hated that cycle and that is why I went shopping at a health food store, the whole binge eating thing kinda of helped me cause now I really eat heathly.

I do it rarely when I don't smoke or take xanax, so :D that is the reasons for the problem, but I just wanted to share it cause it was so weird hearing that girl on tv and im like wow i do the same things.

Answer 1

yeah... binge eating is a bad habit... but dont be too hard on yourself...

try this:
- bring some healthy snacks with you (nuts or dried berries or gum) so that you can chew on them when you feel the desire to BINGE... they're not gonna taste as good as a donut no matter what you do... but stick to it
- drink A LOT of water (it neutralizes stomach acid so that you dont feel like you've gotta keep eating)
- remind yourself "okay... i wanna eat... but im NOT... therefore i am loosing weight"

lol... try them :] they work for me ^^

PS: when u seriously cant help yourself... exercise it away later.

Answer 2

It sounds such as you like to visit mattress with a whole belly. Try this. Buy a few apples, reduce them into slices, and consume them earlier than mattress. Any end result rather. Drink a few tea or specifically milk too. Milk could be very filling, and the calcium is well to your bones, that is most often an quandary with older ladies. Start a well addiction early! Don't attempt to simply give up consuming, given that that may not do. Instead, discover meals which might be gentle and handy, and a drink that you'll believe complete on or convinced with. Apples and milk could be well to your enamel too, so but one other well intent to consume them alternatively of anything with sugar.

Answer 3

You got some problems. Stop being a health freak and eat what you want so you don't binge later on crap you really don't need. Seems psychological.

Answer 4

you have to distract yourself, drink plenty of fluids to keep yourself full during night time by the morning you'll feel full as well. This works for a lot of people that i know it can work for you i think

Answer 5

So pretty much are you saying that when you smoke pot or take xanax you binge? Or is do you do it regardless of what meds youre taking?

Answer 6

Drink alot of water at once when you have the 'munchies' as its a natural appetite suppresant.....

Answer 7
