Ahhhh, I am SO full right now,ate dinner,chocolate,chips,icecream,licorice.
I feel I am about to burst lol, and I have had this problem with overeating for some years now.
I worry and ask myself, how can I start eating healthy and loose weight ever, when I time after time fall for the temptation of eating til I burst....
Like, I can go for a week and eat fish and potatoes and vegs and promise myself that I will always eat that way, but it usually never lasts longer than a week before I crack 
It just makes me feel sad, cause I feel I have no control over my sudden impulses and most likely never will.
Does anyone here have any good tips for resisting the strong urge to eat??
It feels like there is a empty hole inside my body that needs to be fed, and I really dont know the reason why I have it, and some people dont have it at all.
I just needed to vent about this....IP: Logged |

i had this problem (overeating) for a very long time too, you know and it got worse, to (compulsive overeating)...and i found that for me, it was an emotional and psychological problem and it usually is for most people..

I highly recommend a book called, "I Always Start My Diet on Monday" by Janice Alpert. This book helped me more than anything else. IP: Logged |

*Hug* Anita... The hole you are describing inside yourself sounds much like the one I have inside me. I have been caught in the trap of comfort and binge eating for quite a few years - I guess to fill the void in my emotions. Please post your chart so we can have a look. I made the connection a while back that my eating was a type of nurturing as I wasn't getting any TLC from outside. A south node issue. I'm now on a mission to break free of this destructive habit. I'd love to compare charts with you. I can't promise to have the answers but I can sympathise and offer encouragement. If you would like to compare notes, that'd be great. Food is very hard to get under control, I find. It becomes addictive because it releases a burst of endorphins in your brain that make you feel good... but over-eating ultimately leaves you feeling lethargic and listless, even depressed so in the long-run it's counter-productive. I've learned this the hard way as my bad diet has exacerbated my depression. But, even knowing that, it is still extremely hard to give up. It's like a drug. Touch  IP: Logged |

I have this tendency too I usually have it under control... BUT sometimes it seems when I start putting processed carbohydrates in my body (processed white flour, or processed white sugar), I just can't stop. If I have a piece of candy, I'll keep popping them into my mouth until I'm sick. Same thing with chips and things of that sort. The worst time for me is when I have PMS. I keep my carb issue under control for most of the month... but then HELL WEEK comes and I eat garbage (especially late at night) until I'm too full. The garbage I eat is usually organic junk food from Wild Oats or Trader Joes... but still. Organic junk food still shows up on my @ss! I'm pretty obsessive about weighing myself. If I find that I have gotten over 145 pounds, I am really careful about what I put in my mouth for the next little while, and work extra fast at work (I own and operate a house keeping company) to burn extra calories. 145 is still a little heavy for my body, as I'm only 5'1"... probably about 20 pounds over weight... but I can live with that. A junior's large is still too big... so that's good. As long as I can still fit in to the clothes in the junior's section, I'm happy. Here's my chart if anyone wants to compare:  IP: Logged |
