Avatar f tn I have oesteosporosis and I binge eat. Binge eating has never been a problem in the past because I have always been very thin and never gained weight, until now. For years my weight has been between 102 & 106. I'm 5'3". Over the past few years I have gained 15 lbs. and it keeps adding on. I can't believe that at my age , this is a huge problem for me.
Avatar f tn I have 'recovered' from an eating disorder which I had back in 2012, however since my eating disorder I have weighed myself every day consistently for the past 5 years, and always at the same time. I have tried to stop weighing myself, however the longest I have gone without weighing myself is a week, and then I got super anxious about gaining heaps of weight. This constant weighing also causes me to binge and not listen to my body's hunger cues.
Avatar f tn I am a recovering anorexic/bulimic and I took off 95lbs after binge eating into depressing up to 320 with my ex who is my sons father and every lb scares me. The fact I wasnt even at my goal weight because I was doing it the heathy slow way and getting help, scares me the closer I come to that weight again..
Avatar f tn Dear MinneG, Since your question is weight related, (even though you are not dealing with Anorexia) you are more likely to get a more appropriate response by posting your question on the "Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating (Expert Forum)" of this website.
Avatar f tn I'm a 56 y/o female who has had a problem with binge eating since I was about 30. I can gain 20 lbs in a month no problem. Sometimes I can't stop eating, and when I'm too full to eat anymore, I can't wait to digest so I can eat more. I've been to psychiatrist's that specialize in eating disorders, OA, read every book I could find, went to counseling for years and years, and have been on every diet there is.
612101 tn?1220772860 I have suffered from binge eating since I was 20 yrs old. I am now 36. For the last 15 yrs I have been on many many anti depressants, diets, diet pills etc. I have had pretty much binge free the last 2 years while I was on Effexor and Wellbutrin. I came into money problems and had to taper off them. I had totally forgot about my eating disoder....well....I think I thought I grew out of it finally. Since I have been off my pills in the last few months I hve started binge eating again.
Avatar n tn While I have been trying to purge less, I guess my eating habits have stayedthe same and I have gained an EXTREME amount of weight since february. I am 6ft tall and never been "underweight." But in february I was 160lbs and now I am almost 200pounds. I cannot continue to "recover" while gaining weight like this. It cannot be healthy. Yet, I don't know how to lose weight now that I am trying to give up the one thing that almost heped maintain my weight. PLEASE HELP!
Avatar n tn I feel your pain. After being overweight most my life and being bullied I developed bulimia which carried on for 4 years. Even in recovery it never goes away. I'm pregnant now and my happiness gets outweighed by my fear of weight gain. Doctors just give us pills instead of getting to the underlying problem! I'm sorry I can't give advice, but that's because there is none, I can't tell you something and you'll be all better overnight.
Avatar f tn People who suffer from anorexia nervosa end up having such a vicious cycle of weight gain and weight loss weight gain and weight loss. This is called the binge fasting dangerous dieting (I read it in the book)...from what I notice about my eating disorder is that my eating disorder will make me binge at a certain point so that eventually I won't ever eat again and I'll be sooooo pissed off at food that I'll end up starving myself again. Trust me...
Avatar f tn Yes, that meant some weight gain as I started eating enough, and I did binge at the beginning. I have that craving now less and less, as I've come to understand how much I need to eat (it's a lot more than I expected!). I also used to get a feeling of excitement when I ate something "bad" (usually in hiding), and without any off-limit foods, that is diminished.
Avatar f tn , depressed) mood states, interpersonal stressors, intense hunger following strict restriction of caloric intake, or it may be related to body weight, body shape, and food. Binge eating may temporarily reduce depressed feelings, but disparaging self-criticism and depressed mood often follow. Often times, episodes of binge eating are accompanied by a sense of lack of control, especially early in the course of the disorder.
1835320 tn?1326270501 Certain medications like antidepressants cause weight gain. Polycystic ovary too causes weight gain, hence has to be ruled out by an ultrasound of abdomen. If the above causes are eliminated then you can join a weight trainer and a nutrition expert and follow their advice and lose weight under their guidance. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!
Avatar f tn Thank you Anna.. it bothers me when people say pregnancy is an excuse to gain weight... because those are usually the same people that complain that the can't lose the Weight after. Being pregnant should not be a free for all! I'm already overweight and when I found out I was pregnant instead of using it as an excuse to binge on "cravings" I've used it as a reason to get healthy! I'm now eating healthier and excersizing. Just yesterday I walked 10km and I feel great!
1396756 tn?1283523477 Often binge eating is an emotional thing, we find confort in food. You hear people talk about their "comfort foods" these are things they eat when upset or sad. The Paxil IS helping you and this is why you no longer have to eat to feel better....good for you! One thing to help lose the weight is to eat every 3-4 hours, healthy snacks. Fresh fruit, handful of nuts, yogurt, chicken, vegetables, and exercise. Eating every few hours keeps your metabolism at it's peak.
Avatar f tn I've always suffered from binge eating. 3 months ago I tried Meridia, and it was wonderful. I do not like to take medicines...therefore I stopped taking Meridia, but sometimes I take one for a few days when I believe I'm eating too much....but as soon as i stop taking it, I go back to the same old habits. Do you know of something similar that I can take w/o the same side effects...
Avatar f tn I think it started out as food being a source of comfort for you. But with the weight gain from binge eating I am certain you developed a poor body image. Then you found a way to control the weight gain by purging, etc. .The key word there is control. We eating disorder people do this as a sense of control in our sometimes out of comtrol lives. I'm no doctor , and i won't pretend I know all the answers but I do know your pain.
Avatar n tn A nti-depressants CAN pack on the pounds, personal not Scientific, depend on the med and your response to it. Or it could cause weight loss. I think Lortabs play a role in the binging, the combo, then again personal not scientific. What I's do is freak because i wasnt getting enough exercise knew the anti-dep could pack th weight on and wait as long as I could for a real meal. Snacking here and there.
Avatar f tn First, calories are not the main issue with weight. I know they're hyped a lot, and they are important, but how quickly you metabolize food and how well you metabolize it is considered much more important to weight gain and loss. It's more what you eat rather than how much, though clearly the latter is again important.
Avatar f tn Try to follow your patterns that you kept while on the medication and that should help with the possible weight gain.
Avatar f tn Lol Well idk then. I can't help it I'm a binge eating. Probably why I haven't blown up. I don't eat allot generally and am mildly active. But once a week or two I can't stop eating. Like today. It's 1130 and I'm chowing down on poptarts. Wth.
Avatar f tn Binge eating after dinner please help I always do really well then after dinner I blow it and I know ive gotta get rid of this problem to loose the weight I want.
Avatar m tn I'm 52 years old and have been dealing with periods of rapid weight gain (anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks) for nearly 4 years. My worst are 16 pounds in 3.5 days and 12 pounds in 2 days. Stress probably is a factor, although cortisol tests have been coming back normal. I'm spending thousands of dollars and so much time with doctors and tests; finding a doctor with an open mind and didn't believe that I was "cheating on the side" took a lot of time and money.
429432 tn?1343594190 I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this on, but here goes. I am a recovering drug/alcohol addict with 40 clean days behind me. Problem is, I think I've replaced the drugs with food. I am very depressed and seem to eat all of the time, way beyond being full. I never consumed so much food all at one time before. I'ts taking a toll on my health, not to mention the weight gain =( Has anyone else been in a similar situation?
Avatar f tn Instead, I tell myself that overeating will increase my metabolism and may help with weight loss later. Or I tell myself that all dieters fail on occasion. A binge-session may stave off a dieter's burn out. My goal is to reroute that path in my brain, so I stop punishing myself for overeating. Don't get me wrong. I also take responsibility for these failures. That's why I have to log them in my food diary.
Avatar m tn In order to gain weight, you have to consume more calories (per day) than what your are burning. Thats why the calorie count on this app is really handy to help you know exactly where your up too. You can also buy a device ( so sorry I don't know what its called exactly) that you can wear around your wrist or body somewhere, & it tells you exactly how many calories you are burning & much more.
