I would say, just realize that you are far from alone, we all share your struggles. I've gained and lost a lot of weight myself. It's a lifelong struggle and always will be. I believe it's food addiction that is our problem.
 
:iagree: It's an addiction, and a lifetime issue. I'm a binge eater too, and often find myself feeling very sad every time I eat. I'm just starting up again, so I don't have any awesome advice except for hang in there. You are not alone, there's nothing wrong with you as a person, keep fighting!
 
I've been eating healthy and small portions but I just keep eating / grazing all day and night . I'm trying now to drink more water to fill me up and see how that works . I've been on medications which seems to of affected my eating habits . I'm really gonna try anything I can to shift this weight . thank you everyone for the support and advice

Hi there.. I share your pain..I am trying to lose weight myself, and I am a habitual eater or what I would like to say "I am on a seefood diet, I eat everything I see"

Once thing i am trying to do, is not eat after 730 - most of my bingeing happens at night. What worked for me in the past, is staying out of the house all day long and packing all my food.. Unfortunately, I can't do that now, but i have lost weight before by doing that..

Hang in there, you can do it..:)

I've been struggling with this issue for 30 years. I read a little bit about CBT, cognitive behavior therapy. The point was that eating disorders are caused by how you feel after you overeat/binge eat. If you can stop feeling terrible about yourself, you can break the cycle. This is a new approach for me.
 
hey Sophie. I'd put on 95 lbs. (lost 15 lbs.) in JUST 2 years immediately after a mental health diagnosis and having to take medication. I started at 125 lb. and ballooned up to 215 so, believe me, I know your pain. I was heavily sedated and had the "carb cravings" that are a known side effect to the meds. No doctor intervened so I had to be my own advocate and change my meds to begin with, then I've just been making small changes since then. I recommend sugar free ice pops -no sugar and just 15 calories, I snack on those when i'm just eating just to eat. I thinking drinking water throughout the day will avoid oversnacking-I constantly drink all day so that I don't eat (about a gallon/day)
 
Are you drinking enough water? Sometimes your body thinks it's hungry when it's actually just dehydrated! Also, an appetite suppressant might benefit at the beginning stages of weightloss as well. My favorite is the Thermofit & Greens by ItWorks. They're non-addictive, help suppress appetite, and the Greens actually help aid in detoxification and have your daily amount of veggies & fruits :)
 
Hi! I think this is the thread for me. I'm a binge late night eater. Crazy about mayonaise on everything AND have a mental health condition that I take meds for. I really am looking for a good on line support group. I had one when I quit smoking a few years ago. Problem is that ever since then I am fighting the eating issue. I've tried the usual, OA, weightwatchers, little try of CBT and hypnosis. I'ma tough nut to crack. This week I decided it was time to take action and I'm drinking lemon water in the morning, no carbs (except for oatmeal in the a.m.), just veg and protein and trying my hardest just to go to sleep instead of eating my way to sleep at night. I need help!
