i am really stressed out lately and i cannot stop myself from eating almost everything in site. i never get that full feeling, and it's been like this for weeks. I can feel the weight already and don't want to go near the scale. in the morning when i wake up i tell myself i'm not goin gto eat like that but i seem to have no self control. i need to get rid of this crazy appetite, i feel like starving myself just to let my stomach remember what it's like to be hungry again. I'm never hungry because i'm always eating, yet I never feel full either. What should i do or take?
Not sure if this will be any help, I've not tried it myself, but I was reading at the weekend that fennel is a mild appetite suppressant. Try it in a meal, it might get you from one to the other without having to eat in between.
I do WeightWatchers online. It's well worth it, it helps me control my eating and make sure that I eat right, also it's really nice to have a log of absolutely everything I eat and then I can see what makes me cranky and stuff like that. I still feel hungry and I still wanna pig out, but having to be accountable like that really helps me control myself. Plus it's great when my weight starts going down and I can see it on a graph thingy they have on there. I like watching the graph go down every week. I just started WW again this week actually, for the second time around. I lost what I wanted the first time, and hopefully the second time will work too. I have problems with emotional eating, I eat like you do but because of emotional problems rather than just being hungry all the time (although I get that too). Outside of figuring out and dealing with my emotional problems, Weight Watchers is the best thing for me.
Eating a lot is not a problem...what your eating is...are you exericising regularly? You should never starve yourself...the weight you lose from that will come back eventually and you'll more than likely double in size. Exericise is the best remedy for stress. Whether its weight training or carido-vascular. Add that to a healthy diet your on the way to a no stress life. Trust me it works. Try not to get down on yourself so much. It happens to all of us. You just have to bounce back. Good Luck.
maybe you just need to find something else to do, instead of eating, chew gum, or ice cubes, or just drink some water. or go work in the garden or something like that.
read this book: fat is a feminist issue by susie orbach. it's not just about being fat. it mostly focuses on the reasons why people (namely women) eat compulsively. this book saved my life. i strongly recommend any woman with a food issue (whether it be compulsive overeating or anorexia or bulimia...it focuses on all 3 issues and the roots of those issues). there is a second one called fat is a feminist issue II, which is a more hands-on workbook type of thing for women trying to deal with an eating disorder. like i said, discovering this book started me on the path to helping myself stop the vicious cycle of overeating then starving myself.
Have a look at the following link: http://www.westonaprice.org/know_your_fats/lowfatcapitalism.html I have one question.The author says she is a size 6 and compares herself to Jane Brody who is a size 14. In Australia a size 6 is what you would find on a 7 year old. A catwalk model would be a size 10 or 12. So is size 14 big for USA?
Drink lots of water. Lots of times your body misinturprets the feeling of thirst for the feeling of hunger. I always carry around a 1 liter bottle with me.
sometimes you just have to have the intention to change, and be happy with the situation that youre in for the time being. these are all just experiences that we have while on planet earth, it helps to step back for a moment. in the us, 14 is almost plus size. most women that arent overweight are between 1 and 11.
The sizes are different in America BTW they size them from 1 i think not from around 8 like othercountries do thats why u r getting confussed about weather 14 is big or not.
Try some breathing exercises or something...maybe try drinking more...tea or water throught the day... Perhaps it's not that you're hungry, but you're thirsty. Good luck.
brush your teeth the tooth paste, it will make the food taste wrong. also choose foods with high fiber, low fiber foods make you want to eat more.
i know exactly how you feel seahorse beacause im the same! i just cant seem to stop eating! in your case its because your stressed but with me i think i do it when i get depressed or out of boredom! love Ellie xxxxxxx
I think it depends on how a woman is built, I think size 14 for most women means it's not a health issue but life starts getting uncomfortable at that size (especially with the culture we live in - which bites - ). I am 5'3" and I was a size 10 this past year but in the past few months I went up to a 12 and I feel I need to get back to the 10 to be more comfortable if that makes sense. I've found that I am making up lately for some of my own emotional eating in the past two months. I found a box of 12 cupcakes in walmart that is to die for, They are my achilles heel the past month, but I was able to resist getting them from the store this weekend, so I hope my will power will win over. I also bought new hiking boots, so I hope my intentions of going for a nice long hike a few times a week will pan out. We're in this together sista
i know that feeling very well. i find that the only thing to do is grab a water bottle and get the hell out of the house.... seriously, just put on your shoes and go out. the longer you stay inside, where you're alone and it's quiet, the longer you have with the fridge.
I get like that if I smoke a bowl or two. It depends i don't buy junk food at the grocery store and if I want a cookie or something I drive through a drive through and just get one. I like chocolate a lot so I we never buy it at the store. If you just keep healthy food in the house than you will prob stop eating once you get full. mmmm chocolate.
not true I am a 10 and I have a lot of body fat and I have a friend who's a 6 and she has over 30 percent body fat.
I have the same ...I lost some of my weight in short time and now my organism wants everything what I didn't give him.....so terrible feeling...feel like you're going fat and can't stop eating....I don't have power to anything....
