I'm Worried I Have An Eating Problem Posted: 12-17-07 18:35pm
Lately i have had a problem with eating a
lot. I'm usually busy working because I'm
in the military but whenever I'm alone I
always eat, whether I'm hungry or not. Im
starting to eat bigger and bigger plates
of food at restaurants and friends'
houses, and I'm gaining weight. just a few
months ago i weighed 136 lbs., ad a month
ago I was 163, and I dont even know how
much i weigh now. I even took a pregnancy
test because i thought i was pregnant. But
that's not the case, and I'm worried
because I'm only supposed to weigh 135
lbs. for my height and weight. Is this a
problem? How do I fix it? It's making me
feel worse and worse about how i look...
Thanks for any input,
Elizabeth

Hi,
I don't think you actually have a problem
which is medical. I think your hormones
may be messing up your system and diet
routine. As you said you are in the
military which, i am sure, can be
stressful. I think if you try and eat
things like salads and nice low fat foods
which will fill you up and keep you going
as well as keeping you fit. Do not always
base your facts on BMI'S because they are
general. Try and stay fit and healthy. If
you find this extremely hard to maintain
good weight, try a diet...whatever one
works for you. You don't have to go to a
club, but you can control your weight. I
think if it means enough to you, you have
the ability mentally and physically to
help yourself.
I am here for you if you need any advice
or support.
