I've started binge eating

[squinny101]

I have posted on here a couple of times in the past few months about the way I have been feeling. I have gone to the doctors and have started anti-depressants. Although now I've started binge eating. I mean properly binge eating and I don't know how to stop. My body's not great anymore but I've never been particularly 'fat'. In the past few days, I've consumed three packets of chocolate digestives, god knows how many mince pies etc. etc. chocolate, sweets. I want to stop but I am getting these cravings. I don't want to let myself go down this road. I have not been making myself sick or anything like that so don't see it as a particular 'eating disorder' but want help on how to stopo. I don't want my weight to spiral out of control especially with Chrismtas coming up - but I don't seem to have any self-control. Do you think this could be part of the depression? I have not been taking the anti-depressants as regularly as I should i must confess.

if u dont take ads regualrly then they wont help and may make u more ill so u need to either take them correctly or not take them

sugar cravings can be self fuelling as they give you uneven blood sugar levels which lead to desire for sugar for a quick lift followed by a dvie into depression when u crave a lift again its a vicious circle

so you need to try a gi diet which will even out blood sugar levels

dont take caffeine or alcohol as they disrupt blood sugar levels too

low gi is a list of foods that have the effect of stabilising bblood sugar

eg prooidge or muesli for breakfast

pears as a snack

Sorry you are feeling like this. It's important you take the ad's. They help you regain control which you seem to have lost. Try to think: what's the trigger for this binge-eating? And binge-eating is an eating disorder that you can fight... it's hard but i have stopped.
Try to go for bananas, dried fruits, apples... I know it's easier said than done... Good luck and be strong
