Reply from leigh, Age 16 - 03/23/08 - IP#: 66.57.182.xxx oh yeah honey, i have the same problem. i don't know if i could eat 12500 calories, but i know i could pack down atleast 5000...but then again i've never really taken really accurate count. i eat and eat and eat, just shoveling food into my mouth, whatever i can get my hands on, and it really does feel out of control. its not everyday, but i get the urge like once every week or two, sometimes more. i'll eat until it hurts. i think the reason you never feel full is because your stomach has expanded so much because of the amount your eating. and it's most likely not your body that's hungry, but your mind. and yea i ate around the same amount as you today for easter. i don't really have any advice except for just try to distract yourself as much as you can when you feel the urge. also i wrote down a list of reasons not to binge and ways to avoid a binge, and whenever i get the urge i go look at that list. it helps some. but you can do it. it's just mind over matter. and realize ITS JUST FOOD. do you really want FOOD of all things to control your life, and make you miserable? i know you've probably heard all this before but just know you're not alone and you can do it. good luck. (sorry for my incredibly long speech)
