I Can't Stop Overeating!

   How many kg are you? Do not eat out of boredom or in front of the TV! Eat when you're really hungry. No matter how banal it sounds to you and no matter how many times you have heard it - make a regime. Eat low-calorie food, you will get used to it is not so bad. What do you love? Vegetables are extremely useful, make your own salads. If you can't do without bread, eat 1-2 slices of bread a day. Start exercising, they will only help your diet. You will see how fast you will lose weight if you learn how to limit yourself and not lead a sedentary lifestyle.

   I have the same problem. I was 46kg. I am now 54 kg. I used to go hungry, I fainted in the store while buying the next vegetables, I watched the other girls afford everything and I took it for granted. I decided to eat too, but alas, in 2 months I gained a lot of weight, depressed, lonely, angry with suicidal thoughts. I would suggest you find people with your problems and help each other. The other option is Uncle Doctor :)

   You can replace (some) high-calorie foods with apples, but that's not enough. You need to find something else that satisfies you and that is not food. In addition, you need to rethink, analyze, reevaluate your social life if you plan to have future relationships.

   I know all this so well - familiar to the point of pain! I've been in the same situation because of such disappointments, and do you know how quickly they are overcome? When is it time to take matters into your own hands and stop overeating? -When you feel guilty after every meal. Yes, that's what happened to me. In the beginning, the food gave me pleasure, and later it made me feel guilty that I was ruining myself - myself, my health and my weight. I started with the sweet. I just decided to take a break for at least 1-2 days ... I ate one fruit a day when I felt like eating jam and that's it. Then I decided to organize myself and started to eat belvita cookies - my favorites are with hazelnuts and honey, then for lunch something light - soup or steamed corn, because I'm a working girl and I don't always have time for a restaurant. In the afternoon I eat a bucket of low-fat yogurt or muesli BIO with dried fruit. For dinner - a salad with meat, fish, chicken, beef or vegetable soup and guess what - I LIKED IT. AND IT BECAME A HABIT FOR ME. I play sports 5 times a week - I spend 1 hour training after work and that's it .... I diversify with a party or going out with friends, traveling, etc. Try it too ... there is a way to get out of this situation and to stop looking for pleasure in food - just believe it, apply it and you will be convinced !!

   Put a pig toy in your fridge! * D *

   I have weight problems, I'm the other extreme (gene), but I've learned a lot of tricks. Fill your fridge only with healthy food. It is assumed that if there is nothing other than vegetables, chicken and dairy products, there is no way to cram in garbage. Instead of having a packet of saltines or some sweets on your desk, or on the table next to the sofa, or just somewhere around you, put 1 bottle of water. The trick seems impossible, but you have a bad habit rather than a food problem. When you feel bad or just bored drinking water, there are vegetables, meat and dairy products in your fridge and it is almost impossible to fold for 3. And even if you eat, it will end up as if you ate a salad. Of course, you can't do without jam at all, but let's say you get 1 chocolate and 1 packet of biscuits every week. And so, without agreements, only with will. Or let's say sweet gum, let's see you. A lot of people are used to lying on their stomachs with chewing gum, so do you. There are all kinds of orbits. You drink water, swallow a piece of gum and sit down to read a book or go for a walk. The reasons people have eating problems are not many: - Their gene is like that - They have bad habits (you eat out of boredom; you do not eat to feel in control of your body) - Laziness prevails and their will is weak If it is from genes are great torment. If they have bad habits, they just need to remove or replace them. If their laziness comes in more, then a large dose of motivation would not be superfluous. That is all. you swallow a piece of gum and sit down to read a book or go for a walk.

   You are intelligent, sensitive, emotional. I say this without throwing beans. Your reason is clear - your soul is sick. You are aware of some of the reasons, but you can't analyze everything and most of all you don't know how to help yourself. Look for a good psychologist. It seems to me that you are ready to be healed, but you will not be able to cope without help, obviously. Success!

   The author: Thank you to everyone who got involved in the topic! I read every comment carefully and everything will be useful to me.

   Aurora, a simple trick that I have been using successfully for several days - when you are hungry, drink lemon juice, maybe diluted with water. This is a natural way to maintain constant blood sugar levels ... Eat by the hour no more often than 2-3 times a day. Eat healthy, but don't starve. The most important thing is to stop eating sweets ... Good luck

   I have the same problem, absolutely! I was suffering from anorexia, I didn't get hungry, I was just depressed and had no appetite, but now I'm still depressed, but in my desire to not gain weight faster, because I couldn't concentrate myself, I forgot. My brain just wasn't working, and in the end, even my body was barely moving. It was horrible, but I had the will to live then. And now I lost it, so I started taking antidepressants. Eat an awful lot of food, now I write after another crowded. It's awful, I started the evening innocently with a grapefruit and then I came to a tray with eaten rice, lyutenitsa, apples, peanuts, a jar of tahini and slices, a lot of slices and honey, I just swallow everything I can see. And then comes the pain, the heaviness and the heartburn, it's awful, and I'm only 19. I'm ruined and I don't know why I'm doing it. I will fight, thoughts of suicide leave me, but it's still hard. I guess you also have depression, consult a psychotherapist, and if it doesn't help, try a psychiatrist. Do not give up! I believe that you and I will cope, it's just a slow process. It is a matter of finding motivation and desire and we will succeed. And in years to come we will laugh at this state of ours! I don't know why I wrote, maybe you just know that you are not the only one in this situation! I hug you warmly and pray! maybe you just know you're not the only one in this situation! I hug you warmly and pray! maybe you just know you're not the only one in this situation! I hug you warmly and pray!

   I think it would be good to see a doctor. If you are trying to do it yourself, it will be good to start something new. You just need a change in your daily life and something to motivate you to stop this ruin. I have experienced it, but I still occasionally have such outbursts that no longer go to extremes because I have shrunk my stomach and can't drink much. I was saved by courses, and then I started a new job at a bar in the evening. I was quite fat then and I was ashamed, but I overcame everything and continued. The pounds started to melt imperceptibly, without diets and restrictions, I just ate only what I really liked, in this case potatoes, cakes, nuts, fruits, salads, donuts ... it sounds ridiculous for a diet, but for a start the amount is important to cut down, not throwing yourself at cabbage soup for example. You must be busy, that's why I would recommend you to sign up for folk dances. There are a lot bigger than you and certainly fuller, so you won't get complex and feel out of place. And even if not, in a month you will get in shape if you walk twice a week at least. The other plus is that you will meet new people, you will find new friends, and this will further take you out of depression. Dancing unites people a lot. You will certainly have days or evenings in which you will return to vice, but this should not demotivate you. Start the next day with a smile. It is very important at some point to really do a diet to shrink the stomach and then it will be harder to indulge in overeating if you do not do it constantly. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you to succeed and listen to my advice, if you want, of course. Still, one or two visits to a good specialist will not be superfluous. You can also try hypnotherapy. People refuse cigarettes and alcohol with it. There are many ways, as long as you want. Another important thing to share with me from my experience is not to shut yourself in and not to get depressed if you ever make a mistake and not give in again. Just don't blame yourself, go ahead. Don't forbid food, feel as if everything is always allowed to you and eat whatever you want. And don't think that someone is watching you or mocking your vision. People don't usually care what you look like, but how you treat them. If you want, leave some email to write to each other. I can talk a lot on the subject. If you don't want to, no problem. Success!

   People around the world have told the truth about: How to maintain a normal weight. Stop cuddling like a pig and go to the gym regularly for at least 1-2 km a day. What you read diet magazines: How to lose weight by eating almost nothing or if you eat to eat grass and yoke. Not to faint in my shops, you will die like lice, if you do not come to your senses, and your laziness goes away.

   You start a daily sport. You find a new hobby, occupation, something that will engage a large part of your daily life. You go out more with friends. Don't starve, drink a lot of water In fact, in the above comments they said everything, but let me tell you :))))

   Hello, I'm only 15 and I thought I was almost the only one with this problem, I'm glad I saw that I'm not alone! I want to stop terribly much - shortly before the summer I didn't eat anything and I reached 43, when I looked in the mirror I saw a skeleton, but I still didn't eat because I thought I would gain weight (which is true). I train 5 days a week and I run a lot because I feel like I'm being punished ... And now after the summer (because I study and live in Spain) the school year has started and after all the cramming in the summer (just as you describe above) I thought it would be easy to start not eating again, but alas ... It's easy for me not to eat anything all day, but at 22:00 or a little later comes the STRIKE ... It's awful .. I feel fat 5 minutes after eating the amount and .. I want to stop .. And I can't empty the fridge and only have vegetables, because I live with my family, but they are controlled ... I don't know what to do, I'm tired of eating, but I can't stop ... I know strangely and you must be saying, but you realize it, why don't you just stop, I wish it was so easy !! -Nikol P. thank you for your attention and help I'm afraid .. I want to stop ..

   Hello from me. I am only 17 years old, but I will try to help. Because a year ago I fell ill with the so-called and still not so well-known for our country disease "anorexia neurosis". After I lost 24 kg. for 2 and a half months I naturally lost my cycle, I was constantly nervous, terribly lonely, but the very fact that I could control my diet made me feel more than wonderful without realizing that I had a problem. It wasn't long before everyone around me realized that something was wrong. Talks about food, screams, constant scandals started, until one day I found the "perfect" way out of the situation. I started eating in front of ours, then I went to the toilet and vomited everything. With each subsequent meal, the food I ate became more and more, until I finally reached 2 hours of trampling without really feeling the taste of the food. There was always cleansing, whether with vomiting or laxatives in huge quantities, but this did not lead to the loss of more pounds, on the contrary - I gained about 5 pounds. I thought that if I told myself to stop tomorrow, I would really stop, but alas, I couldn't, as if I were addicted to it. After each bout of overeating, I felt guilty, depressed, unable to control myself, which was a huge shock to me. I've always been able to control myself, and now it just doesn't work. I started rummaging around there on the sites and found a lot of useful information (search through English and American sites, there are invaluable tips) on how to help yourself in these situations. Because as I mentioned above, these diseases are not known in Bulgaria and no specialist could help me. Their words were usually "eat and you'll be fine", "make a diet", "these are slimes", "you want a strong will", etc .... Well, yes, but no! These are diseases, not mucous membranes! Really very serious diseases that require adequate and really VERY LONG treatment. There is only 1 medical institution in Bulgaria that treats such addictions, but the treatment is terribly expensive! My advice is to look at the sites I told you about and emphasize again, whether they are English or American (because the treatment of these diseases there is much more advanced than here). If this does not work, see a PSYCHOTHERAPIST, and not a psychologist or psychiatrist (they have the most successful treatment for this type of addiction). Look for information about hyperphagia so called the disease itself. Greetings. Ivelina :)

   I love to eat, but only when I think that I will gain weight and not overeat. I rarely overeat, maybe twice a year. But I still love food.

   I'm also 15. As a kid, I didn't like food. I only thought about games and so on. My parents were very worried. Alas, in 7th grade I had a lot to study, and even before the exams I started to cram, because I was bored with studying and I didn't have time for walks with friends. I had never eaten so much before, but I started thinking only about food. I took it as a break. School, food, movies it was. Once, when we were sitting down to lunch and my father told me - Stop cramming! You've been eating a lot lately. limit yourself !! After a few weeks I thought about his words, but I did not hear limit yourself, but stop eating .. And when I ate something I felt guilty and immediately started running or cycling. I just ruined my stomach with this starvation. Now I often swell up. This year, however, I started overeating again. Since my whole company eats, and I don't know what's happening to me, I limit myself all day and in the evening I eat kat for a whole year: D I tell myself to eat evenly, why don't I do it. Recently, I became interested and asked for help. Because when you ask for help and you don't hide everything in yourself, it becomes easier for you and you start to recover. Every night I prepare my diet with foods that I love, but I try to keep the harmful ones in the smallest quantities. I'm not saying I won't eat, because the word-I won't eat! It started to scare me. I just replace fatty foods with legumes and others, eat bread, eat jam, but in very small quantities. You just have to put it in a portion and while eating do not focus only on the food, but think about nice and pleasant activities to do after eating. Tell yourself there is time for everything - entertainment, learning, sports,

   I wish I had your problems ... when I was 15 or two I had anorexia and bulimia afterwards. Yes, it is painful, but it depends on you how you will recover ... now that I have seen what unemployment, disappointments and a serious illness with a shine are for my life ... what would I not give to be in your place. I would live like everyone else without caring about the kg :)

   He fell in love urgently !!!

   I have this problem too, but thank God it happens to me 1-2 times a month (and I usually do it after some depression and just like you from salty to sweet and vice versa until it becomes so hard that I can not breathe ). As a weight I am OK - 170 cm / 55 kg and I will tell you what works for me - I just look at home not to have chocolates, cookies, chips, etc. other nonsense and in general I do not stock up on food so that "there is" nothing to I eat when I'm hungry. During the time when I eat normally I do not eat bread, jam, alcohol, soda, fried, etc. and to a large extent I compensate for overeating, exercise during the day and do not use an elevator. , I walk a lot - so somehow I'm calmer that when I wash I won't go up. I have had moments especially on holidays when I overeat for 3-4 days in a row - then I have to keep a diet afterwards. But these are just measures to stop the symptom, not the problem. The problem will stop when you feel happy and satisfied (I'm not telling you from experience - I'm not yet), because the whole problem is in the soul. Good luck

   hello I have this problem, did you do something to stop overeating. I will be happy if you share :)

   In my opinion, overeating is a compensation for the past, or a continuing situation, the lack of something, especially love. The fear of repeating makes you, instead of solving your own case, compensate it with something else, such as reassurance, but only not to solve your pain.

   Author: Thank you to everyone who wrote. I have not yet solved the problem of overeating - I have periods in which things return to normal and those in which they get out of control. The comment under number 26 is extremely accurate - I actually have problems that I can not solve - mainly related to the inability to communicate, I have a lot of complexes - about appearance, social skills and a general feeling of dissatisfaction with life.

   I only read the first sentence. Well, don't overeat, that's my advice. Harmful to the body. Good luck. Clipper
