To ask what you think of this typical food intake?

Sorry I meant to say that most people with bingeing issues

I don’t think this is ok. You said up thread you bought it yourself yesterday, so it is not ok to now say you don’t want it in the house and it’s your husbands fault; you clearly eat half a kilo a day and have been for years, you stated this.

you need to take personal responsibility.

i was thinking about you last night, i do mean this kindly but you need to see your doctor and ask for blood tests to be run, you need to check of kidney and liver disease, as you’ve been doing this for so long. Also osteoporosis and things like scurvy, and also have your cholesterol checked.

it was very obvious you are obese, I don’t know why people wanted you to confirm it, there was no humanly way for you not to be obese, but what’s shocking is you actually thought people would tell you to eat more and you had a great diet. That level of lack of knowledge on nutrition is really shocking and I’d question if you did know deep down.

Could you swap to that EatLean cheese?

Also could you cut down drastically on the nuts? Daily portion is about 10-15 nuts or something (20g) so you're consuming five times that. Nuts are very fattening.

OP, I’ve eaten like you have for a few years, not with cheese but with bad habits where I overeat certain foods. I’m overweight but I’m fine and my body was fine. Except that out of the blue I started experiencing painful digestive problems, no particular warning. I’m now undergoing investigations and awaiting an operation. You can’t eat like this forever. I’ve been forced to give up my bingeing on certain foods and it’s been a shock. I can’t believe I thought I’d get away with eating like this.

So you DO know it’s not a good diet and you are bingeing on cheese.
A good start would be the BEAT website. You will get lots of info there and feel less alone.
A supportive husband would be helpful too.

Most people are not addicted to sugar and UPFs!

I don’t think she’s blaming it on her husband, however if my spouse had this issue I wouldn’t just keep buying the cheese I would look at ways I could support them. Everyone needs support for something

As simple as that.. 🙄

Just swap for a salad with a little feta cheese, it’s not like you’re dealing with a very obvious eating disorder.

Can your DH keep cheese for his sandwiches at work or in his car, that would be an easy compromise.

Its fine for a day or two out of the fridge or he could use a cool bag with an ice pack. He could just take bread and butter, with pickle if he has it and get that ready sliced proper cheese - Aldi has a good selection.

But obviously you need to sort your diet out and eat a more balanced variety.

Are you not a candidate for weight loss drugs on the NHS if you're very overweight with an overeating disorder? They really help with the overwhelming desire to binge eat.

This was like the size 1 and half of my kids at birth 😩😩😩🫣🫣🫣🫣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think the most unusual thing is that you don’t eat anything sweet, despite binge eating every day. Or do you also snack on sweet stuff sometimes? When was the last time you had a biscuit or some chocolate?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this made me laugh way more than it should have !

op as a fellow cheese lover who defo over indulges with cheese your cheese intake is insane

OP, I like you, you’re unusual and honest! Most people are addicted to sugar snd UPFs but your diet has none of that rubbish. It’s still probably really, really bad for you though. Especially as you’re overweight and have a heart problem. Would you like help to change?

This is so sad. Do you have any access to support ?

450g of cheese is 1850 cals and 100 of nuts is 500 ish

You can't blame your food addiction on your husband. He may get it, but he doesn't force it on you, and I find it unlikely that only he buys it for the house. A lot of binge eaters find a way to blame others, as you are doing with your husband, or go into serious denial about how much they eat (which to be fair, doesn't seem to be the case with you). You need to see a specialist about your eating disorder. I come from an extended family that has morbidly obese adults, and the damage on their bodies is heartbreaking. But it's easier to blame family members or genetics than to take personal responsibility.

Firstly get your cholesterol checked. That much cheese everyday is alot of saturated fat which can raise cholesterol and is linked to heart disease. You won't know its raised unless its checked. The nuts at least will have good fats in them and nutrients although the recommended guidelines are a couple of small handfuls a day.

You're light on fibre also which is important for digestive health and cancer protective - we should aim for 30g a day and alot of people in the UK don't get it. Fruit and veg and wholegrains are a good source.

It seems all about the protein so maybe try some lower fat protein yogurt with berries and seeds, drizzle of honey as a snack which is far more nutritious than cheese. You could make a salad snack with olives, a little feta crumbled over it, avocado, cucumber, apple / grapes, walnuts and a drizzle of olive oil and try Include oily fish twice a week as well if you like it.

If this is real then I think that the way you are eating (what and when) is nothing short of astonishing - how long have you been eating like this?

@ivyball you are basically going to wind up really ill at some point if you keep eating this amount of daily calories. This amount of saturated fat. This lack of fruit and veg. This huge amount of protein. Please get help.

How can you physically eat that much in 1 meal? That's insane that your stomach can take that much food! One of your meals is half a kilo of beef! That is enough to feed a family of 4! The amount of cheese you are snacking on is unbelievable. This must be a wind up, surely. Nobody can actually eat that much in a day without serious issues.

You need help OP, and there is no shame in that.

Is your DH slim and/or active?

If he's not on your side, he's in your way, in my opinion. If you had a small problem with cheese and ate half a 300g pack once or twice a week, I could see his point, but he must see that you need help 😬

Talk to your doctor, get your bloods done to find out where you're at, and be honest with him and tell him that you need help. He or she can't help you if you aren't straight with them.

I think you need to ask your GP for help, maybe a referral to a dietician. Have you had your 40+ health check or whatever it's called? You're lucky not to have noticed any problems yet but they may already be there, you don't always get symptoms. Imagine you've got all the conditions you don't want and act now before they become reality.

It's more the lack of variety that is a worry. Where's all your fruit and veg

Less cheese.... Alot less cheese....
Do you drink water?

😆 🤣 😂
