Binge eating Binge, eating

kabuki

ok guys i really need some help....

I don't know why... recently i have lost total control over my diet.... i just keep eating and eating even though i am full.... to let you guys know how bad it is, i made a tiramisu today and i ate 4/5 of it in less then 12 hrs, drank 4 packs of vita lemon tea, 3 cans of coke zero, and ate pasta for dinner.... on other days, i would stuff myself with my normal 3 meals, and on top of that, 1 orange, 1 chinese pear, 1 banana, hot dogs, and if available, chocolate after every meal... with coke zero throughout the day! Some nights when i am craving for crunchy foods, i'll break up an instant noodle and finish it all... that's insane!

I don't know what have happen but i used to be a girl that lose 30 pounds... i am afraid that i'll go back to my old ways....

since psychotherapy is really expensive in hk... i am just wondering if any LYKs had this kind of experience and can share how did u come over it....

damn i want to go grab a fruit and some tiramisu again! I don't know what to do....

are you stressed over anything?
i remember when i was in University, i would eat so much before exams...actually just eat whatever and end up having a stomache and end up in the washroom for hours...(very stupid and painful)

maybe you're eating because you're stressed?
or maybe..it's PMS? PMS can cause non-stop eating and hunger too

or sometimes people eat because they're bored. if you keep yourself occupied and keep your hands busy, you might keep them off food!

我都覺得自己好大食呀~
i go insane eating snacks, sweets & desserts...
- (ex: i go to Berry Good AFTER dinner, & i can order THREE cake & finish them all with tea)
- (ex: through ONE day of work, other than eating my crackers & yogurt in morning as breakfast, eat my lunch, i can easily go through 2 packs of pocky, & 3 different packs of japanese brand candy/chocolate... & if that day company has left over pastries & sandwiches from meetings, i can eat those too, with pop... then go home, cook dinner, open another can of juice, + more nibbling snacks while watching TV)
- (ex: there was this one day where the building had tenant appreciation day, so at 8AM, i helped myself to free food which includes: 3 large cream puffs, 2 sugar cookies, 1 lemon tart, a mixture of strawberries, pineapple, grapes, honeydrew slices.... then after, i of course have my daily lunch & the usual snacks i bring to work)
- (ex: last year's V-Day, my hubby took me to Gotham steak house to celebrate. i ordered a signature prime rib, & it looked HUGE when it was served. but i finished it ALL. after, i felt so full that i couldn't help but to ask the waiter how big the steak was, & he told me it was 12oz... )

when i go out with my friends, i feel like i should control myself by claiming that i'm full when my friends say they're full.

when i go out with my hubby & his guy friend, i eat just as much as they do (same portion wor) & clears it all.

sometimes i eat with my own guy friends, i feel horrible because we can order the same set lunch for example, & i could clear my plate, yet my guy friends can't finish their's & gives some of their stuff to me to finish eating.

in conclusion, when i get to eat good food (no matter sweets or savory), i just dunno how to stop cus it just tastes so good.

keep an eating journal, bring it everywhere you go, write down what you ate and how much.

before you go to bed, read it over again and see how much you have eaten. it is sort of a self-regulation behaviour: if your diary says you eats too much in a day, try to control and watch what you eat tomorrow.

it is all very beneficial. =) I hope you will get better!!

STOP BUYING SNACKS!

just dont store any chocolates, lemon tea, chips, candy, ice cream, cake at home. and just buy normal grocery and fruits. so when you want to binge, there is nothing BAD you can binge on.

also sometimes when you are thirsty, you body will mixed up and make you feel hungry. so drink lots of water and keep yourself hydrated!



and whatever you do with your diet, dont forget to exercise... i hate people who just watch what they eat but sit at home like a couch potato.

Stop drinking coke zero.
I read from somewhere online that diet pop mess up with our body way of counting calories and would actually make us want to eat more then usual.

Eat only apple for whatever reason.

Try to do something that will distract you from your attention and craving to eat more.
