OK, besides therapy, you could do a few things. I don't know if these practical advices will work to countertact binge eating, but why not give them a try? What I am saying is keep eating as much as you want, but switch to a healthy nutrition. Eat fresh vegetables, instead of bags of chips and so on. Do a little bit of research if you want to be sure what's healthy food or not, but I think common sense is good enough anyway. Also, combine healthy nutrution with daily exersing (with exersing machines at the gym or at home) and just a little bit of diet to burn fat (or cardio vascular exercise, you know exercising with the bicycle). Exercising is not easy (at least at the beginning), but once you'll get it in into your daily routine you'll love it. I know myself because I too exercise daily. Also, after a while of regular exercising you'll find that you'll have developed a natural taste towards healthy
food and you won't easily eat unhealthy things (like junk food).

First of all, thank you for your advice.
I have been looking into what food to eat, what it does to my body, etc... I am currently on the Montignac way of eating which allows you quite a wide range of food as long as it is not processed like white flour, pasta (spaghetti allowed), risotto rice ( brown, wild and basmati allowed), no butter or margarine. Also no sugars which means no jam (Sugar-free "marmelade" is allowed), no chocolate under 70% Cacao, no cooked carrots (raw allowed), no honey, etc... It is not at all like the Atkins Diet nor a non-combine Diet, the only thing which you are not allowed to eat together is cheese and bread. You are allowed cheese, oils, nuts, anything which hasn't been refined.
I am giving you these information because even with that, I would be good for 3 / 4 months and I still end up with things like kebabs, pizza, biscuits and all these kind of things. I would go shopping with good intensions and start with vegetables, fruits, 0% fromage frais / yoghurts and then would pass the chocolate / crisps / biscuits aisle and would look at them and before I know it I have a whole selection of sweet / salty stuff in my basket. I take it home and hide it at the back of the cupboard to hide it from my husband, wait that he goes to bed and then just binge.
I have got sugar-free sweets but I eat so much of them that my stomach cannot handle it and make me pay for it.
Everywhere I go everybody is eating sweet and savoury things, let's just not talk about the restaurant, there is so many smells and forbidden food that I rarely go there. I feel people are looking at me wispering that this fat woman eat too much, too quickly and shouldn't be eating all that.
For the sport, I have very little motivation, I tried having a sport partenair but that works only a little while. Indeed I feel better but the motivation goes after a month or two.
I had thought about an excercise bike but, I am not sure if I would use it. I also thought about a treadmill, here again, would I use it, stick to it?
Thanks again.

BINGE BINGE BINGE

Postby Guest » Wed May 25, 2005 3:03 am

it is such a relief to hear about all these people with the same disorer as I have. I know i binge eat- today,its only mid day but I have already had 3 chocolate milkshakes, 2 apples, 2 sandwhiches, 5 litebreads with cheese and marmite, 5 biscuits, 2 ktime bars, 3 iceblocks, half a cheese slice, 5 manderines, 1 pack gum, 1 bowl cereal, chips and 2 glasses coke. I always thought no one would believe me because I am not overweight (juast have a bit of a pot belly that I hide) and I exercise which is probably why im not over weight. i know this is killing my body though. Plus i am so depressed- i can't even fit my ball dress that I brought 1 1/2 months ago so that makes matters worse. PLus all my friends eat practically nothing so I feel like a pig around them - I AM a pig. If anyone has the same problem as me and wants to talk about it, my emails cream_bun1@hotmail.com. I think I am going to actually get help. Maybe.

I am presently suffering from anorexia and I suggest all of you not to diet but rather to eat a good healthy meal. You will lose more weight if you eat breakfast and 6 small meals per day. As a breakfast you should have at least as the minimum: 1 fruit, 2 grain products, 1 milk product and 1 meat product. For dinner and supper you should have minimum: 1 fruit, 1 meat, 1 milk, 1 treat, 1 grain. This is the minimum. Also it would be good to take a snack at around 3pm, and at night. Because of my disease I have enourmous trouble eating this but I am still seeking help after my hospitalization that i just came out. Whether you are anorexic, bullimic or overeater this is a good approach. It isnt a diet, but rather eating healthy. It wouldn't hurt to take a 20 minute walk a few times during the week. Getting some fresh air never hurts.

It is good to read these posts as it's easy to get overwhelmed from your own experiences with binge eating. I struggle with it too, and despite good intentions, I still fall into the same trap of overeating almost every night. It's soooo frustrating.

I've just recently begun to see a psychologist and have learned to concentrate on the emotional part of the disorder. Since I overeat in response to stress, instead of concentrating on the food part of it, I guess it's better to deal with the underlying reasons that cause that lead to uncontrolled eating. Maybe that could help other people, though I struggle with this as I am always the type of person that people think has everything together and somewhat "contained" (regarding emotions)...

Arg!!! Sometimes I wish I could wake up from this reality and just have a healthy relationship with food... alas I try... All the best to everyone with the same problem
