hi ameline
I haven't really had a problem with this per se though I have been over weight all my life. then I lost 60 pounds, that started with meds and then the fact that I just stopped eating but once a day. I didn't consciously do it, it was just my lifestyle. a few months back, for reasons unknown, maybe a new med, I started binge eating and put on seven pounds in two months. I have never eaten so much. people even noticed and commented. it was non stop eating, tons of food. I tried to stop but couldn't. i just seemed compelled to eat every hour. so i downloaded a calorie counting app on my phone. i started at 1200 calories a day but found that wasn't enough so i upped it to 1600. and i changed my diet to low calorie foods. switched out to fake sugar. yogurt instead of ice cream. i try not to eat anything over 250 calories so i get to eat about 8 things a day. pudding cups are only 60. chips 150. i still eat all my junk, i just don't gorge on it anymore. so i quickly lost the weight i had gained. i have decided to stick with it to see if i can lose more. i realize now that i am counting calories i must have been eating on avg 3 thousand calories a day. welcome to psych central. you will find we have several forums where you can post about your concerns and receive feedback from other members. you will get a lot of support here. again, welcome
