So... I used to have a binge problem (for about 2 years). When I found out I was going to be a brides maid in my friends wedding I got my **** together and started exercising and really taking advantage of this site. Everything was going well. I lost 15 pounds in time for the wedding and was really toned. Then I moved out of town, was dealt some personal blows and realized that I have no idea what I want to do with my life, career wise. This is of course after taking out a mountain of student loans and getting my masters. Now I find myself binging again. Last night before bed I ate upwards of 3,000 calories in under 2 hours. I am nervous that I am falling into old habits and wondered if anyone had any tips on how I can stop before I this gets out of control again.

I have been surfing this post for quite a while, but have been too nervous to post. Nervous about what I am unsure. I have been binging for almost two years now. Everytime I get off a bad binge, I decide to try some yo yo dieting. They never work out. Anyway, after this last binge I have decided to go on a liquid diet. I know it is bad for me and I know that in the end it will only slow my metabolism, but I find myself afraid of food now. I want to eat more than anything, but I am terrified that if I do, I will not stop until I have that sick feeling. For me that takes about 2500-3000 calories in a sitting. Mind you I am only 5'1. Does anyone have any suggestions, or has anyone else ever had this fear?

Hi Systo, I completely feel for you. I have been having the same problem, only with not so healthy foods. The first thing you need to ask yourself is why it is that you are eating in this manner. Are you noticing any triggers? anxiety over something? Boredome? Depression? Figuring out your trigger is the first step. For me it was a mix of anxiety and boredom (and an overall love of food). The main thing being that you need to force yourself to realize how unhealthy this is. From eating this way for over a year I caused myself not only to gain a lot of weight but to have horrible acid reflux problems. The second step is getting help. I was never so good at asking for help so I went at it alone. I would stop for a while and start back up. Right now I am at the stage where I have stopped. Everytime I notice myself binging, I think of all of those out there with no food, or I remind myself how sick I was the last time I binged. I hope things work out for you and if you need anyone to talk to, feel free to email me. Stay strong!!

Weight Loss	those evening cravings....its a killer!!	Jan 11 2007 19:00 (UTC)	2
You guys are great, I love all of these suggestions. I have really bad heartburn problems (especially in the morning), so maybe if I tell myself that without the late night binging I will wake up feeling okay, then the cravings will subside. Tamji how would you rate the decrease in heartburn? I will continue to have my cup of decaf tea before bed, born in Ireland so I can not give up the tea entirely, (wink)! Harry keep your head up, thats awsome that you have set a future date when you can finally enjoy your pizza slice = )

I have the same problem with night time cravings. I also notice that I love to sit and watch TV at night when my day is all done. I never thought that these commercials could be what are making me subconsciously making me think I need to binge. Have you guys been able to master the no eating or drinking three hours before bedtime rule and if so I would love suggestions as to how. Also, do you think this even includes a cup of tea?
