Why do I keep over eating?

[hazchem]

I feel bit broken. Like I have missed something that other people do automatically. it will be dinner in 40 minutes and I've just eaten a load of flap jack. I'm not hungry. It's some freaking compulsion but it's not.
I started a calorie controlled diet on monday and already I'm fucking it up. I set myself some small exercise goals haven't stuck to them. I hate the way my body looks and how it feels. 12 months ago I was about 4 kilos above my goal weight feeling happy and healthy and now I'm 25 kilos up. I feel like suck a dick for not been able to feed myself properly.

1. If you have a flapjack in the house, it's going to get eaten. Sooner, rather than later probably. Don't keep that stuff in the house.

2. Are you getting vitamins in? A multivit, or Selenium ACE, Magnesium maybe C0-Q10 may help.
   Have you had a blood test for coeliac's? This can inhibit vitamin absorbtion. Without your vits, you body will crave anything. It will not be strong enough to go without vits.

3. Are you drinking enough? Down a litre of water and see if you still need something to eat.

4. Are you getting enough sleep, esp at this time of year (hibernation time)?

I don't go in for calorie controlled stuff, try Waist Disposal by John Briffa, I think it works though it is mainly high protein, a sort of Atkins light.

1. yes your right. We made it to take out but it wasn't good enough for outside the home. I should have just chucked it in the bin.

2. I take a mulitvitamin. I'm seeing my GP next week so might ask about getting the Coeliac's test and a general levels check.

3. I think I drink loads of water. I;ve had 2 glasses already ( 7:30am my time)

4. not enough. still wakes at least once a night and is up at 5:30am. Although last night he didn't wake up.

I lost weight last time following Briffa/Bootcamp but feel the last six months my portions have gone crazy and am over eating meat and cheese so thought going down calorie contolled but with whole foods not diet foods might be the way to go.

Maybe your daily intake is too low. When o ear 1200 a day I find I end up bingeing after a few days - usually high cal stuff. On 1500 or 1800 I am more balanced. Try something moderate for about 2 weeks snd see if your body calms down. Try also to find a reasonable and regular eating pattern - meals at set times and roughly same cals for each meal so your body gets a chance to get used to how it feels at diff times of day. Like I feel this hungry when I wake then I have 300 cals then I don't eat until x time and just knowing you feel fine
