ugh I feel soooooooooooooooo fat today (well I am fat) but I swear my menu today has been horrible:breakfast burrito, an apple, two bananas, pepperoni and crackers, goldfish crackers, mini donuts, ice cream, snap peas, pistachios, tempura fish and it's not even dinner time. And believe me I'll be eating dinner. Oh and I really really want some pop tarts but I'm about to start making dinner haha. Anyone else have the mad munchies today?

I do. That's why there is very little food in my house.
 I try to buy as little munchy stuff that I like, cause if it's there I'll eat it.

In the last two days I've finished a huge Hershey bar with almonds. Comfort food for me, I think. I've had a lot of stress re doctors and pain. It's all gone today. I think starting Cymbalta was the magic bullet!

Antipsychotics like seroquel and xyprexa do this to me, as do hormones and mild depression. I do not buy much junk food at all in an effort to keep myself as healthy as possible. When I am hormonal and know a binge is coming I try to make something nice and healthy - for example cauliflower pizza. The base is cauliflower and all the toppings vegetable. I feel like I am pigging out when really all I am having is a boatload of vegies (and a bit of cheese). Sugar cravings on AP's are harder to deal with, I have been known to eat straight sugar with a spoon when I have been drugged up to the eyeballs. Just limiting what you have access to is a great technique. And being around people so you dont do anything grossly disgusting like that hahaha.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
