Why Am I Unable To Control My Eating?
Ok basically my life is made up of crash dieting and then eating normally for a couple of months, then building up my food until i have to eat loads in a day (this just happens, i can’t control it – i’ve tried) – then living in denial for a couple of months, then crash dieting again to get down to a normal weight.
I find it easy to crash diet – eating little amounts for weeks on end. Once my blood sugar is raised though, i can’t stop myself.
Most people eat when they are bored. Try to keep busy so you do not have time to think about snacking
One problem is that we have so many associations with food.
Many folks eat to feel better, not because they are hungry.
Also, eating bad food doesn’t fill us up, so we eat more & more of it.
Here are some good ideas:
1. Do something that gets your heart rate up a bit like, walking, running, biking, and swimming.
2. Eat Whole, Organic foods like: Broccoli, Cabbage, Organic Brown Rice, Beans, Spinach, Sweet Potato, Apples, and other fruits and vegetables in their Natural State.
3. Avoid eating corn, white bread, white rice, white potatoes, candy, sodas, chips, and anything else that you already know you shouldn’t be eating.
4. Drink clean water as your beverage of choice. Avoid Fruit drinks and fruit juices (unless YOU juice them yourself)
5. Stop smoking, drinking beer & wine, and drinking coffee.
6. Get 8 hours of sleep each night.
7. Hang out with people who want to be healthy.
8. Avoid anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup.
9. Look into taking a multi-vitamin.
Tone up the muscles:
1. Join a gym and get a trainer.
2. If you’re short on cash, start a light stretching & yoga regimen.
3. Do push-ups, and light dumbbell curls for the upper body.
4. As I said above, walk, run, swim, and or bike
5. Take an aerobics class, a yoga class, or some other fitness class.
6. Join the local YMCA.
7. Buy or borrow this book by Bill Pearl called GETTING STRONGER.
In the book, he describes everything you need for a great fitness plan.
8. Crunches & Curl ups for the abs.
Mental Health:
1. Get a friend to talk to each day about your feelings.
2. If you have some money or insurance, get a counselor to talk to.
3. Learn how to meditate.
4. Join a support group for the issue you’re dealing with.
5. Ask your Higher Self (or God) for guidance.
6. Start keeping a diary or journal about your feelings & thoughts.
7. Write a ‘gratitude’ list every night.
8. Do something that makes you happy each day like: listen to your favorite music, draw, paint, write, or anything creative.
9. Do something for someone else who needs help.
10. If the above suggestions don’t improve your mental health, talk with your therapist about the possibility of taking some medication.

well i can’t stop eating either. i found a cure – going to gym and doing cardio for 1 hour every day.(together with weight lifting of course) first of all i don’t need to diet. i eat whatever i want to. and if i want a cake and eat hal of it – i just run more the next day. big deal
i have a similar problem. I go days on end without eating and then eat everything in sight. i think its a beinging thing? anyways it helps to stay busy and not think about food in general.
