Can't stop eating-am starving constantly, even after dinner-save me from my whaley self!

I don't know why but I suddenly cannot stop eating. I am food obsessed, all I think about is food, I can't concentrate on anything else and cannot stop eating-am worried that I will suddenly put on a lot of weight-how do I stop this fascination with food?

Are you particularly stressed atm?

Not overly-have a lot on but I always have a lot on! Have moved house and I hate the new house, but that is the only thing that has changed. I've got through so much junk in the past week-am truly -I've eaten a double pack of custard creams and an xmas tube of minstrels in just the past 2 days (alongside LOADS of fruit to offset it obviously!)

I have the munchies too, after dinner I have had 3 bourbons, A mini pack of haribo and a packet of skips and I am ready for more. Thinking smash Sorry not much help but know how you feel. Sometimes it is uncontrolable, I try to drink a glass of water everytime I have an urge and walk back out kitchen, for at least a while anyway.

I think it is stress and depression that controls my urges.

Have kept it to just fruit since dinner as then my tummy will get too sore to eat much more . SO glad someone else has the munchies, but your three bourbons does not trump my custard cream double pack -haven't had them for years!

worms?

sorry. avoiding crisps myself, think the long dark evenings draw us to comfort food.

Don't think it's worms [panic emoticon]-how would I know? God damn you food-am going to hit the chewing gum in a mo!

The only times I have eaten quantities like that is when preggers...

This happened to me when we were having an extension and new kitchen.
I got through the building work okay, but then didn't see eye to eye with the kitchen guy (and the work dragged on). I couldn't bear to be in my own house, so would go and buy a sandwich and a giant cake from Tesco's for lunch. Then we had to eat instant food with minimal fresh produce in the evenings, and I would start hitting the bottle at about 6pm. I think the whole thing was a way of letting off steam.
The thing was, I was constantly starving, and I put on nearly 2 stones which I'm now slowly losing 2 years on.
It's a shame you hate the new house, but if you really do then I'd say you're stressed - it's easy to underestimate the effect surroundings can have.
I hope you sort it out sooner than I did!

Yes but that was only since dinner, I had more bourbons and pink wafers earlier, limiting myself to some toast and pate for supper now.
