why????

I don't know why but at the minute I'm finding it hard not to binge eat on all the chocolate and food around, normally I am better then this, recently I seem to have put on a bit of weight since going to uni which is making me paranoid. I need motivation to eat healthily and stay off the 'junk' food as i eat a well balanced meal. I really want to get fit this year too, i used to run ever day for 2o mins and was in great shape. sometimes i feel so frustrated and alone...binge eating is the worst, i know its wrong but if i feel big i will eat even more just because i think why bother!

 

grrr what is wrong with me! 

you're not alone!

everytime i have the urge to binge, even though i dont want to binge it seems like i always try to justify it by thinking, "oh, ive already started gaining weight back so i might as well binge"

but adding to the problem doesnt solve it...

i try to repeat that phrase to myself over and over again when i want to binge...a few times, it has stopped me  

In the same boat lately. loneliness seemed to have lead to mine. Instead of heading for that fridge or cupboard, whip out the phone and text or call a friend and see what they are up to!

That happens to everyone. What works is to not buy the items itself and bring it into the house. So then you won't be tempted.

 It may also be tough when you're out and it's everywhere but maybe make a deal with yourself. Say you won't eat it now but at the end of the week, you can get one item as a treat for being good? 

I have been feeling the same way...I think it has something to do with the holidays. I let myself eat a little bit over on Christmas, after I had stuck to my calories through Thanksgiving and the big Christmas Eve dinner at my family's house. Now I feel like I want to eat my way through the kitchen. I tried eating weird things when I want to snack at night, like pickles with tabasco, and that did stop my food craving. But, throughout the day I am so hungry. I have heard that artificial sweetners in diet soda can make you crave more food, and I have been drinking a lot of diet soda, so I'm going to try to cut that out and stick with water. I just keep telling myself that it's not worth it, when I've finally lost enough to see a difference (although I still have a long way to go). Good luck!

I know how you feel my son and his girlfriend recently moved back in and they buy alot of junkfood so i've joind alot of websites so i get on them and chat or i get on her and journal its great since i'm mobil i can journal no matter where i'm at it works wonders
