I've felt sooo hungry lately, and so psychologically drawn to food. Like I look forward to it, like it's more of entertainment than nourishment. And then I think I'm gaining weight too, so that makes me all the more likely to feel guilty after eating sweets, or even a small amount beyond what I think I should've ate.

I'm stressed out, have finals coming up, and the summer and swimsuits... so I guess that's what's causing it. What can I do? I've gotten over it for the most part -- went from b/p 2-3 times a day to 2-3 times a month, about seven months ago.

I'm just so impulsive right now, I CAN'T tell myself no to most anything right now. I'm bipolar and ADHD, too... anyone have experience with co-morbid impulse-related disorders? Or just general advice? I already have safeguards in place to avoid excess temptation (I only keep healhy foods in my house, eat lots of fruits and veggies) but I keep getting sidetracked by external things, like desert with friends, or dining out...

<font color="blue"> Nice that you have healthy food in the house, lol I don't... and if the only time you eat junk food is when your going out to eat then you probaly shouldn't worry, and if you are concered maybe eat 3 meals a day and if you want to snack on something I always like sunflower seeds, that may help I think. </font>

Do you live w/ family that keeps junk food around? That's the toughest -- you can't just tell them to stop keeping it in the house (well you can, but they may not listen). I live on my own now, since I used to live in a big house w/ all of my friends, and a kitchen stocked w/ bulk foods... like living in Sam's Club or Costco!

The problem with the binging has extended past when I just go out, and come back into my home. Like when I bring leftovers back, after eating a healthy portion at the restaurant... inevitably I've devoured at least half of a pizza by the next morning. Yesterday it was all of the Easter food and chocolates and CAKE that my mom gave me. I tried to get my friends to come over and eat it for me that night, but none of them were hungry. They came over the next day, but by then it was too late.

I live on my own too, and have full control over what I buy in the food line.

If kind or thoughtless people bring me junk food, I throw it in the trash as soon as they've gone. I wouldn't dream of eating it!
