Ht. 5'8, Wt. 145 - hey guys. i know everyones familiar with binge eating (no that wasnt an insult) but like . im doing it now like everyday and i know im not overweight but im going to be very soon. everyday i eat a little bit more and i used to weigh around 130, or a bit less. i ate healthy and didnt even think about my weight ever. i ate junk when i wanted it and never overate it. i dont know what happened. i jtus feel out of control. id ask what should i do? but the response has always been see a therapist (ive read some earlier posts) but im to embarassed to. and i dont want anyone knowing. can anyone relate?? to the issue not my actual weight . again im posting with the issue not my weight so i dont want to offend anyone. thanks so much guys

Try to get your family to remove all junk food from your house, so when you do feel like binging, there will be only healthy food for you to eat. Also, something that has really helped me with controlling myself, is just reminding myself when I get the urge that I am ultimately in charge of my body. It is up to me whether or not I eat the junk, that I dont' need. I'll repeat in my head "I have control over myself, and my actions" I know it sounds dumb, but it really helped me. You make the choice, so you can make the choice not to.

oh yeah, and u should tell ur mom or someone u trust.. dont be embarrassed, if this is affecting ur everyday life, then yes u really should tell an adult or freind for support, u mention u used to be 130 or aybe a bit less, and that u gained some weight recontly from ur binging .. dont worry about that.. its not the end of the world. BUT before ur binge eatting really does get out of control, i really recommend u tell someone, embarrassing or not.. u will prbably be gratful u did.. to be in more control of ur eatting..good luck hun.

Brett, binge-eatting is when you eat a real lot of food al at once, like you just keep eatting more, for comfort or ur bored.. or u just never feel satisfie dor full u keep on eatting. i can relate somewhat.. im not that bad, like its not everyday i do, but i hate when i do binge.
