Has anyone successfully used their Faith to overcome the tendency towards gluttony? If so, how did you do it? I struggle with binge eating and am looking for guidance. I have gone to confession for this on a few occasions and have turned to prayer but it’s an ongoing difficult struggle. Looking for guidance…
I am 28F, 4 months postpartum. I lost quite a bit of weight early post partum, I was at 149lbs. Currently I am at 155lbs. If I never gave into the binge cycle again I would probably still be losing weight! Ugh. I still weigh less than I did before I got pregnant so I want to take advantage of that and get the best body I’ve ever had. I want to be fit and healthy and feel good in whatever I want to wear. I just wanna be my best self. My best self has discipline so I guess that’s part of the answer here. But if anyone has ANY suggestions that would be amazing.
Prior to starting Foundayo I had a huge, huge problem with night time binging. I would wake up multiple times a night ravenous and eat large and/or multiple snacks. Usually at least 1 savory and 1 sweet per time I woke up.
I’m not sure if the actual reoccurring wake ups are caused by other medicines, having to use the restroom, or from hunger but I do know that my stomach physically hurt when I would wake up making me think I was hungry. I tried over and over and over and could never get it under control. When I started Foundayo I was hoping it would fix or at least help the night time hunger but it hasn’t yet. It’s almost made the hunger pains at night worse.
What can I do to help stop the hunger pains at night and stop the night time eating?
I really appreciate any advice. I’m cross posting to get more help.
What do y'all do when you want to binge but there's literally no food worth binging in your house?? I literally also thought about ordering or going to buy something just because I want to eat for no reason. We do have actual food like meat and mashed potatoes but that doesn't do it for me, also distractions like drawing and scrolling just make it worse and make me bored.
TLDR: I don’t know what resources to reach out to for help. Please tell me what worked for you.
I have no idea what to do. I struggled with binging as a teen and stopped when I lost weight by accident when I developed a vape addiction. I haven’t even thought of binging or p****** or restricting in like 6 years. But now, I’ve quit vaping two years, and the weight I gained from quitting has become so noticeable to me over the past 8 months that it has caused me to relapse.
I realize I have actually never solved the disorder before, and I have no idea what to do now that I’m being triggered by my current weight. What do I do? Would a nutritionist help? Everything I find online is telling me to go to freaking food rehab or an outpatient program with other people but like what the heck, I have a job. I’m a big advocate for therapy, but what the heck can my therapist do to help? I’m big again like I was as a kid, and I’m stress eating and I can’t stop. Therapist, nutritionist, neither really sound like treatment for this type of impulsion- what has actually worked for you all in getting help??
So I am struggling with overeating,binge eating and constant food noise over a year..Yesterday first time in my life went to psychiatrist and he prescribed me Fluoxetine and Risperidone..I bought them and now I was checking with chatgpt what is it and can it help me but I saw it’s mostly used for depression etc..Has anyone used it before ??I also read here about risperidone that some people even eat more and are constantly hungry..it looks like non sense to prescribe me these meds
I was looking up binge eating (especially while working on a laptop) and came across a post about how binge eating can sometimes be connected to ADHD.
Does anyone here have experience with this?
I’ve struggled with binge eating on and off since college. I noticed I binge the most while working on a laptop, especially when doing tedious, stressful, or mentally complicated tasks. It almost feels like I can’t focus or get through the work without constantly eating something crunchy.
At one point I started tracking calories and lost about 75 pounds by replacing binge foods with lower calorie foods like carrots, frozen fruit, etc. People around me actually became concerned because the weight loss was pretty extreme. Eventually I switched back to binging on things like nuts, dried fruit, granola, dates, etc. and gained a lot of the weight back.
My weight has fluctuated a lot over the years. I’ve also lost several jobs because I struggled to concentrate and get work done.
At a previous job, I was allowed to go to the gym during work hours, and weirdly I felt much healthier overall. Even when I binged, it was more on frozen fruit or healthier foods, and I looked/felt pretty healthy. But I later switched into a stressful consulting job and the binge eating ramped up again.
I’ve also noticed I do a lot better working from cafes than at home. Getting out of the house seems to help. But whenever I’m alone on my laptop at home, I end up constantly eating nuts, dates, or something crunchy just to get through work.
Curious if anyone else experiences this or has found strategies that help. Trying to figure out how this could be related to ADHD or if it's something else.
I think maybe talking to my doctor about antidepressants is a good idea idk tho .. basically I have ADHD, binge eating disorder and depression .. I’m exhausted 24/7 like all the time , I can sleep for days on end .. I am like maybe it’s the depression that’s making me exhausted, but I’m worried that antidepressants will make the exhaustion worse.. does anyone struggle with similar things? What med combo worked for you ? I’m so done with feeling like this 😭
19M, i’m not passing a good time recently and i’m having some episodes of extreme binging , the strange part is that i’m also really sporty, have ana and always try to eat clean.
(my huge amount of workout also causes me an extreme hunger as i walk 30-40k steps a day, workout an hour and also do cardio)
The result is that i overeat foods like vegs or low cal foods etc..
it’s been some weeks that my sugar craving takes over and i binge on fruits, tonight i ate a small slice of watermelon, 2 oranges, 2 kiwis and 2 peaches.
i feel so guilty for all the calories and sugars, can someone help me??🙏🙏
