Ht. 5'3", Start: 180 lb, Today: 175 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 135 lb - I've figured out my problem. I'm a binge eater. Seriously. When I start eating, I can't stop. I just eat eat eat eat eat untill my stomache can't tae it anymore. I'm not even hungry when I do this.
Its a real problem. And I'm fixing it starting right now. Hopefully you guys can help me do this. This is a great site, and I could seriously make some good friends here. Having someone to talk to that has the same problem makes you more motivated and its something that you can do together.

I compleatly understand how you feel.Well,I can give you tips when you crave for some type of junk food.Like I did with pizza and potato chips.I ate it till my stomach hurted and I wrote down how I felt(sick,guilty,worthless,fat)Kinda harsh but it works.Every time I have a craving i read what I wrote and remember that awfully feeling.It really made me stop =).And i eat tasteless stews and I can hardly finish the plate,its good for you and gross at the same time xD.But if you have a serious problem(like binging on frozen food,pet food,flour,sugar,salt,digging threw garbage...)it could be a serious deseise and you should see a doctor.I hope its not that severe.Best wishes =)

you aren't being ignorant. I didn't know what it was either. Its someone who starts eating one thing, and then continuously craves other things and eats a whole chain of food in a short period of time. I did that all the time. I would eat one thing and i just kept eating eating eating at it wouldn't stop. I can't really explain it. You should research it a bit.
