I have been eating around the clock for the past couple of weeks. I can't find the strength to stop. I have gained 10 pounds & yet I continue to just fill myself up with empty calories. I eat until I physically can not eat anymore. I feel so out of control & it makes me sad to realize that maybe I am doomed to be fat.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I don't know how to help really cause when this happens to me I just stop eating. I watch what I'm doing then go and do something else, anything to get my mind off food. I read, watch tv, call someone, come here to DS.
Hope this helped.
Try having a glass of water first. Just try it once and see how you feel. Sit and close your eyes and listen to your breathing. There are some great things on youtube. Try some of them under the search relaxation. Distract yourself with the tv or talk to a friend.
I do hope things improve. *hugs*
Food has been such a friend to me, ironic how it turned out to be a real enemy...
I think we all go through stages and our emotions have a lot to do with it. I was doing that a couple of months ago just eating everything and anything, even food I would normally never touch, in the end I gained nearly 20 pounds and it was not because I did not know what I should do or how to do it. It all came down to my emotions, self esteem and motivation (I just could not find it) and even just joining this site did not help, but now I am back on track I have lost 14 pounds so far and it is because I joined a group challenge (through this site) and it really got me motivated, maybe something like that would help you. I dont think you are doomed to be fat, you are just struggling, but you will find your way and we are all here to at least try to help you whenever you need or want it.
I feel I have someone won when I got a week without gaining. Now if I can just figure out how to lose and be on this medication at the same time.
I have struggled with my weight my whole life, just now I currently weigh 231lbs, I eat and eat and eat even when I feel full I still manage to squeeze in a few more biscuits. The reason why people overeat or binge eat is personal to them, for me I would say feeling lonely especially in the evenings, not having a partner for 5yrs, not happy with my appearance, all of these things however trivial they may sound made me feel low and in need of some comfort and I find that in food.
Whatever the cause of your overeating is..just remember you are not alone, that's why people like me and you are here to find friends that share the same problems and support each other, good luck ** BIG HUGS**
AND truly, if I can make that change, then anyone can. I will be perfectly honest - for about 25 years, I think I ate potato chips every single day - at least one full bag to myself. Removing that one thing alone from my 'diet' has helped me make so many other positive food choices that it really is making it easier now....
