Help with Food Addiction?

Question

Ugh i dont know what there is that can help me, but i need some sort of help before i get too fat. I'm getting there though and i want to stop this now. I weigh about 165 right now but if i continue to eat the way i do i will be alot more soon. The first thing i think about when i wake up if food. The last thing i think about before i go to sleep if food... i eat all day and mostly at night before i go to sleep, I cant seem to stop eating. I hate it because i actually want to lose weight but i cant seem to stop eating and im getting to the point where im saying to myself f*ck it i dont care if i get fat im just not going to go anywhere anymore and therefor no one will see how fat im getting. Please someone help!!!

Answer 1

hey, I have the exact same problem. i start eating for every reason. like, when I get sad, i eat. when i get bored, i eat. when i'm watching tv, walking, (usually to the kitchen), i eat. its become a compulsive thing. i recently went to a specialist in the matter, and turns out i eat due to excessive anxiety problems. its like, i find comfort in eating, because its something i can control... well, until i can't. its really hard to stop this habit, and i've seen the side effects of this, im still trying to lose all the weight ive gained. what i usually do is run and get a glass of water. when i finish that, i drink another, and then another till i feel so freakingly full that i can't just eat anything. i also try eating a lot of fruit or veggies extra fast.. biting and chewing as hard as i can and it sometimes helps to forget about the food. you should try writing down a sentence like "food disgusts me" even if its not true and read it every time you feel like eating. that helped me. now every time i feel the urge of eating i just think "ew, im so full!" and just pretend i am till the feeling ceases.

ive dealt with eating disorders before.. bingeing and bulimia my worse. if you have any questions or just ever need advice, just ask.

just remember, you control your life. don't let food or urges control it for you, k?

Answer 2

it could be depression that is making u use food as a comforter. get treated. there are enough medications.  

Answer 3

i know the feeling. the same thing was happening to me. try a appetite suppressant preferably a drink like hydroxycut h2o worked for me

Good luck
