How do you stay on track? I thought if I just ate healthy all the time I could not purge but I end up eating too much and I feel too full. I can't help but throw up. I feel like I'm doing myself benefit but when I look back on it, I know I'm not. I was doing so good at quitting but eventually I got hungry and I just stuffed my face. I'm right back where I started..

Have you thought about perhaps seeing a nutritionist, or talking to your doctor? Some people benefit from keeping track of JUST what food they eat and when. (No counting calories or anything like that!!!) That helps sometimes. Otherwise, if you feel you might overeat or you have a habit of "snacking" there are options of healthier snacks which will help your body and will not likely lead to unpleasant feelings of being full.

Hi Henry,

:~D

your post made me laugh . I think it was the "I just stuffed my face", LOL!!!!! I laugh sometimes when something hits home.

I remember one day I had had my breackfast and still felt this voracious hunger. I ate and purged and an hour later I felt it again.

I was crying wondering what it was . something My body had learned somekind of emotional physical hardwing that was not true physical hunger .

There is a differece, real huger can be felt in the gut. as i pain gurgle time to eat.
the other hunger went straight to the mouth . I do belive emotions reside in the stomach area too especially anger sadness . So rather than feed try to feel .

men i particular don't want to feel thier emotions because they tied into crying .

so instead its , I don't want to feel this. please shut me up or sooth me.

It appears as huger but its not.

sometimes my body just lights up like it has a mind of its own .

I think its tied into ADHD and impulsiveness.

I was going to mention in your other post about your plan and finding a hobby.

distraction can be a good thing pre- mid -or after a binge. especially if your worried sad or angry and thinking about eating,

I can imagine it must be very difficut to find a therapist and deal with this issue .

I think a woman T woud be a good choice if you do want to get more help.

Maybe portion your food out before you eat it?

Setting out your food on a smaller platter can help, figuring out about how much you actually need before you sit down can help too. That way you can't overeat because there is only just enough food out.
Sit a while before letting yourself go to the fridge to get more food. That way you can try to work on "feeling you hunger"
