i am at the point of desperation...my health is in serious jeapordy! i am on medications (lamectil, lexapro, thyroid, propranolol, neurotin (as needed), xanax, and birth control) i am a binge eater, especially around my period. i have symptoms of an eating disorder, but i'm not sure what to call it. if there is something i am craving, such as doughnuts or cake, i will eat the entire thing just to get it out of the house so i can start fresh in the morning. i can not stick to i diet plan, i just end up feeling too deprived. my portions, i know are WAY to huge, but if i cut back, i end up feeling deprived and hungry. i am very aware i am only part of the time eatting the wrong things, but mostly i have a pretty decent diet...i know i have to get rid of and stay away from carbs, i am so addicted! and i need to stay away from sweet binging during my periods. here is the problem...
diets, can't stick to them... weight watchers, way to complex for me to keep track of...medical weight loss clinic, too expensive... jenny craig, don't really learn how to eat...working out like a banshee, get completely board with the routine and gain it back anyways, tried every diet pill, including the ones that cause soupy poopies, tried hoodia, tried laxitives....every time i lose a pound i gain five back. i don't know what to do to keep me full and not feeling deprived. i feel whatever i put in my mouth is going to trigger a binge! i am soooooo hungry...and once i'm full, my hypothalamis say more, more, more, because i'm not eatting to saciate any more i'm eatting for the taste of the food. i am a flavor junkie! if it tastes good to me i will eat myself sick! i drink koolaide with sugar substitute like a fish! i love flavor and will not touch anything bland! i'm even scared to touch fruit because it is sweet and then i want sugar and i binge!? i'm becoming scared of food!!!! what can i do to stop this compulsion and cycle of eatting? i'm 5ft 2in and weigh 199lbs.... help!

Can you custom fit a diet to your taste? Have you been on a low glycemic diet to control your sugar addiction? Do you like fruits and vegetables? Do you eat fish? Are there any foods you won't eat?
I don't do well on a low fat diet. I also hate low carb. Both work for many people but I feel deprived on them. What I found works for me is a higher fat diet with lots of volume from fruits and veggies in all my meals. I need a diet that I can eat out, easy. I do a Mediterranean Diet. I am flexible and I am not perfect all the time. I did track my calories until I got a ball park idea how much I should be eating. You don't have to have a exact number for weight loss. If there is a problem then I go back and check myself. Mostly you just don't quit. If you have a bad day you get right back to doing what you should. I had two bad days this week and still lost 2 1/2 pounds. I went to a chocolate gala, had wine and champaign, after I had Pizza, the next day I had Mexican food, chips, sea food enchiladas, a grande Margarita and a Mexican coffee with whip cream. I lost because I had exercise and the other 5 days I ate what I should have. I am down 30 pounds by having more good days than bad days. I still have along way to go but it is a good start I think.
