Reply from angie, Age 15 - 10/16/05 - IP#: 24.80.196.xxx thanks guys..i think that we just need to realize that we may not have a lot of control of many things in our lives but one thing that we do have control over is our mind and what food we eat. We have TOTAL control over that and we should take advantage of it. What im going to do next time i feel like bingeing(it is usually like an hour after dinner) is just remind myself of this and then ill go read or something! good luck to you guys too!
Reply from Nan, Age 18 - 10/16/05 - IP#: 70.80.115.xxx We really should find a way to stop this. Huge amts of food at once is horrible for your body. it causes a lot of insulin release which then affects cholesterol and fat and diabetes etc... We have to realize that everything is our choice and we are in control and not let our feelings let us get out of control with food. this may take a long time and a lot of support, but we can do this. We deserve to feel good about ourselves. It sucks to live everyday feeling guilty of what we ate the day before. it's just food. no need to feel guilt. we're meant to feel happy!

I stay at our school's math lab and just work on homework for a while, so when I go home, other people are there, so I don't feel like pigging out.
Reply from nikki, Age 17 - 10/16/05 - IP#: 24.141.43.xxx sometimes i wonder though if it is depression. i think it runs in my family but im so against medicine and any medications i put up a fight before i take. i guess i just dont want anything to be wrong with me. im sort of stubborn. let me know if u figure out how to deal with this. good luck and thanks for the post :)
Reply from angie, Age 15 - 10/16/05 - IP#: 24.80.196.xxx yeah, im glad that someone else feels the same way..i really dont know how to fix the problem and i dont want to go to some therapist either. I eat soo much, its getting ridiculous...im going to end up puting on the weight i lost AND some more..
Reply from nikki, Age 17 - 10/16/05 - IP#: 24.141.43.xxx omg me too. no seriously thats me recently . i shock myself at how much i can eat now and i was always a skinny person. i definately know i eat when i feel empty but i cant figure out why i feel that way. and i cant offer advice. i know im scared to go "get help". i dont want to feel crazy (if i go to therapy or something) i mean nothings wrong in my life.
