I don't know whether it's the time of the year...but I am seriously addicted to eating.

I've put on a few kilos, and so the past week i've tried to slow down.
Last night I ate a huge salad. But it got after 8pm, and its a rule I dont eat after that time. But the craving was so strong I lost control over myself, and my body walked me to the cupboard and got loads chocolate.

The addiction feels like a strong craving, that if I dont satisfy it I will cry, because it's so painful.

I haven't eaten breakfast yet, Im sort of fasting because of my binge last night.
Im drinking coffee at the moment to supress my hunger...I'm scared to start eating, and not stopping...it's happened alot lately.

Im not pregnant, i don't have a disorder, I dont have any blood sugar level problems, and I eat very balanced. So...hmmm, any suggestions?

Ride it out, don't guilt yourself, accept that sometimes you indulge more than others, and it's okay.
Then cry with me about it, because I can forgive another for eating like crazy, I can understand.. but when I do it? Forget it. I hate myself. I'm there right now. No excuse, other than there is a lot of crap around ( where's that willpower?)
I know I'll stop, It's not something I do a lot of.

Jupiter.. where is he right now????

You might want to check into sources of Omega 3 Fatty Acids...they give your brain fuel...and also phytoestrogens...basically your brain is in a desperate attempt to get seratonin...imo.
Omega 3's: salmon; halibut; tuna; unsalted almonds, cashews
phytoestrogens: beans, lentils, soy

I pass this on...but actually I'm going through the same thing It's like we have the knowledge but need supernatural power.

Often times when you get strong cravings its because your body is craving a nutrient that you're not getting, and doesn't know where to get it. If you're not taking a multi vitamin daily, start taking one.

Chocolate has natural opiates and gives us that warm social feeling we get from interacting with others, maybe talking to people might satisfy the same urge.

Don't ever fast! It leads to further binging. Eat things that are fibrous, but low on calories that will fill you up like fruit/bran/oatmeal.

Thanks for the advice everyone.
Pix, My willpower disappeard, don't know where it went..
so after fasting- which was probably silly thing to do, because I was so starving I stuffed myself. Your right BlueRoamer.

I'm normally vegetarian, haven't eaten red in years, but my partner brought home a roast chicken, and I seriously went animalistic and ate it right down to the bone, like a barbarian!
I even ate the cartlage!

Well, now I feel completely different. I don't feel myself being overcome with hunger. I wonder what prompted all this energy?
I'll have to seek that out...
I'm glad it's over, few!
