I am a binge overeater who needs help.

Hi Everyone,

I am a binge eater who overeats and basically scarfs down my meals. It is so embarrassing to eat in front of other people. Plus, I have gained about 50 pounds in the last year.

Does anyone have the same problem? Is there a group or place where I can get help with this. I ordered the diet pill Phenterfein over the Internet, but I don't want to have to use a pill that could affect my heart and body.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Tracy

Hi Tracy,
I am bulimic so I can relate somewhat when you say you scarf down your meals. However I'm not sure what advice to give. All I suggest is that you do not resort to diet pills or anything like that, they are really terrible for your liver and I can't imagine what other organs they damage. I've taken a few bottles of Xenadrine EFX but I didnt lose any weight from them, all they did was make me crap a lot. So taking pills seems like it only has negative effects.

Have you ever joined a womans gym? I find since I have joined a gym, I feel less guilty about eating a lot through out the day because some of those calories are being burnt off. If you can';t afford a gym, just being more active will help a little bit.

Other then that, you are in the right spot, there seem to be a number of overeaters here that might be able to guide you in the right direction. Good luck

Thank you for the reply. I have recently started exercising again by doing abdominal routines in my spare bedroom on a mat. I am also trying to cut down on my daily calorie intake. I hope this works.

i understand what you are going through...i seem to replace one addiction with another and now i'm on food...i eat too much and have gained so much weight...i started working out back in may..tried cutting back on my food intake but it's so hard...here it is september and i've only lost one inch all over my body but my weight keeps going up and down....but people keep telling me it's the inches that count...so i said all that to let you know i know your pain...hugs

I have gained alot in the last 3 yrs myself. I am really short and am over 200 right now. pushing 215 or so. I will be going for gastric bypass hopefully this year or early next year.
