binge eating when alone

Welcome to the club! You sound like the female me. I know all about the auto pilot thing. Here's some hints. This works great if you live alone... having others around, you need to pay attention to their dietary needs. But really, just stock the fridge and cupboards/pantry with the healthiest food available. 1. Lean meats and cheese (buy in bulk, package in single serving sizes) 2. Water... drink a lot of water. Get used to carrying a water bottle and drink on per hour minimum.

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.

Hello. Your not alone. When i was 9 i became a binge eatter. From the age of 13-18 i was bulimic, yet after all that time and loosing no weight, but just maintaing i went to a treatment program. i was following a meal plan and i gained 5 lbs. i was devestated. When i left the program i still followed the plan, but after 3 months i relapsed back into bulimia, which has become since then a mixtrue of anorexica and bulimia. After loosing 40 lbs, i find myself going back into treatment in 4 days.

every day I give in to some kind of unhealthy eating binge. my problem is that when I open a pack of biscuits, chocolates or anything the like, I can't stop until I've finished eating the entire pack ... that can be anything between 500 - 1000 calories. after that I feel so guilty. and yet it happens all the time. You ladies experienced the same? what do you do in such situations?

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.

I binge eat when I get severely depressed, but lately that has not helped me, but still I cannot help myself. I have been to overeaters anonymous, therapists, counselors, nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any new coping skills?

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.

ve been struggling with medical therapies as well as binge eating disorder but I also shuffle to bed after anorexia. I'm 16 and I'm afraid this is just the beginning.

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...

I'm a 55 Y/O female who has been binge eating for about 20 years. I've been to every kind of therapy, even went to a psychiatrist who specializes in eating disorders, gave me an RX ( don't remember the name) I've gained and lost 50LBS 3 times, this time I gained 60LBS and can't loose the last 25. I can't control my eating no matter what I do. I've also been to OA and I didn't like it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

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.

The best thing to do is not have junk food in the house, if you can't stop with eating a single portion. Replace the chips, cookies, etc with fresh cut up veggies, such as carrots, celery, radishes, broccoli, or cauliflower. You'll get the same crunch, but you'll get nutrition instead of the fat and empty calories. If you need the salt, sprinkle on just a tad of sea salt to add a bit of flavor.

It is very hard to kick an eating disorder by yourself. I am not saying that it is not possible. You have to give it your all though. You have to be at your breaking point. Anorexia and Bulimia are diseases, just like an alcoholic. It is an imbalance, absolutely. I am a recovering anorexic. I am actually 6 weeks out of treatment. I don't know where you live but here are my suggestions. Get into an eating disorder anonymous meeting.

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.

I'm 14 and I've struggled with my weight since I was a toddler. It wasn't because of eating bad food ( well later on it was) though. When I was 10 I suddenly started binging and I'd eat about 1000 calories extra in junk food. But my parents didn't know and they still dont know. I've lessened my binging now and its not really binging anymore but I am a sugar addict! I can eat it by the spoonful. And unfortunately when ever I'm alone I tend to do it.

What kind of physical consequences are there to binge eating. I had this for years, overeating really fast and way too much. In the recent past I got on a medication and stopped. But now I have bad acid reflux, what feels like a tear in my intestines and an ulcer in my stomach and a gallbladder that is going downhill. I never knew what it meant to be full because I would alot of times eat past that.

I had days when I didnt binge as much but that is when I would try to restrict. I would try to eat as little as possible and that is just as unhealthy as binging. I dont know if my therapist does cognitive therapy, but I could ask her. Yeah I have a tendency to beat myself up even over little things. Well one of the coworkers who I mainly work with knows I have problems but she is always wanting to lose weight and she eat a lot (but she really is not binging.

How do I treat the constant nausea, and heart palpitations that cause constant fatigue and dizziness? It seems that the more I try to eat healthy and not binge, the worse the headache and nausea gets. What do I do??

go back to basic principles when you get lost re food....you wnat to change your life style eating habits...not diet....when you binge or eat too much, compensate for it by getting back on track and being a bit more careful than usual until you are back to even...it is not a raise, and there is no failure if you change your habits..measuring yourself in order to beat yourself up is bad medicine...serves no purpose....

I've been suffering from anorexia for 2 years and a bit now and I begin to improve and then I drop back again it's an on going thing but lately I've been having the urges to just completely give up like I have no reason to live anymore because it's becoming too difficult. I've spoke to my parents but they think I'm just saying it and that it's phase I'm having and i'll come out of it soon.

I feel like the last week All i want to do is eat. I can never get enough food. My question is, When did you start Feeling like Binge eating, and did it cause you to gain alot of weight.

ve been binge-drinking for 20 years, with my behaviour whilst drunk getting more out of control, including blackouts. I dont know when to stop drinking when I start. I've hurt and scared my family and constantly live with a sense of shame and anxiety. I have to make this stop for myself and my family's sake. I'm feeling very emotional about it today...

I think that pregnancy hormones can trigger chemicals in the brain and the overeating and craving of massive sweets that you binge on until you throw up could be related to that, similar to an eating disorder. Ha, I've never heard of a pregnancy induced eating disorder though. But people with an eating disorder often have that same lack of Impulse control. What I would try to do is to not have so much on hand.
