Why dont I eat normal meals like normal people?
Posted: 11-10-07 20:14pm

A bit of history:
I used to have anorexia, very severe. I was hospitalized twice, but now (a few years later) am very stable and healthy weight wise and I always eat. lol. that's my problem.

Weekdays, my diet is acceptable (i have somewhere to go). Weekends, I seem to have no control.

I wake up, start eating and have big problems stopping-- and my will power is waning. (this goes for working out too- I still do, but not as regularly as I used to.) I dont eat meals. I just eat. all. the. time.
This creates issues for me. To avoid going over the (very reasonable) cal limit for the day, I eat a lot of low-cal, high volume foods, but I just make myself too full.
So, I'm not fat-- yet. lol.
Why dont I eat normal meals like normal people? I feel like I can't eat normal things this way.
Its really ****ing with my life, and I don't know how to get a handle on myself.

Can anyone help me? thanks.

hi,
OMG,i have the same issue with the days i dont go out. if there is a party planned or i am to goout that day,or have urgent business i am excellent, but if i can do whatever, i overeat.
I used to eat kgs of fruit, and feel full, but didnt gain weight.now bcs of my man, i cant allow myself to look llike a 8 month pregnant after a binge,so i eat cheese and stuff instead that makes u gain weight and this means a diet next day (in old days i would purg or take laxatives) Sad

i am sure u can control ur binge. try to decide on what u binge , forgive urself for that binge and make a plan what u watch or read or call a friend after that. so u dont do an endless binge.

if u try this and it works,pls let me know,ill be glad

cheers
