So hungry.

[little.seeker]

This is like...the first thread I've ever made other than the welcome one so I'm a little bit scared. But like...I can feel myself binging I just can't stop it. I'm just...eating and eating and eating. I want to stop but I can't. I'm so hungry. And I've already eaten like twice what a normal person would.

Hey don't be scared people on TH are really friendly what I would suggest you do is try to eat three stable meals a day without purging. I know it'll be really hard but I also know that you can do it! The reason your hungry is probily because you purge what you et so you are left hungry after eating and then you eat more. When you will eat three stable meals without purging that will leave you not being hungry so you don't have to eat so much. If you need someone to talk to feel free to PM me anytime just click on my name and click on private message Amy. By the way thanks for posting that poem/quote it was really good. Stay strong! You can do it!!!

I don't like ever purge though so I just eat and eat and make myself look worse and worse. So I know it's not the purging. I'm not always like this but for some reason today I decided to freak out.

And thanks for the comment about my signature. It's actually a poem I wrote.

Wow! That is an awsome poem. I had to say it again. Hahaa. Im not a professional person or anything but I would suggest you try eating three to five small meals a day. That will keep you not hungry and not stuffed to whereas you feel really guilty that you ate alot. And that way you won't binge. Also try finding a person who you can account too. Someone who can keep you in check and encourage you. I'll be here if you wanna talk. (about anything) Hope I helped some. Stay strong. I know it's hard and it sucks to feel that way but it's not the end of the world although it may feel that way. I know you can do it!

It may have just been my day. Because after everything today I just want to cut and kill myself. I am hating myself so much right now.

Today is a brand new day try doing what I suggested and if that doesn't work find someone you can talk to like an older adult, some professional help, or someone you can trust. I know it's hard but keep going. Your life is worth more than stress over food. keep strong! Don't give up! You're valuable

Hey Rebecca,

As Complete Love said, I would recommend you tell an adult you trust, such as your parents, about this behavior. They will be able to get you professional help, such as seeing a psychiatric professional, or a dietary professional.

Binging is a very easy habit to fall into. Sometimes we eat when we're upset, sometimes we eat when we're bored. It happens, and it's something you feel like you cannot control. It becomes a habit to fall back on, and the worst part is that it's not a habit you can completely break because you ALWAYS need to eat, but you need to learn how to control it. These skills can be learned from a professional.

Also, as Complete Love mentioned, I would recommend eating many smaller meals a day. The three meals a day often doesn't work for people, and causes you to be hungry in between meals and then binge out of that hunger. Five meals seems like to be a good number, small breakfast, large snack, small lunch, large snack, and a dinner. For those snacks, you may consider buying pre-packaged things, and limiting yourself to that package. Night seems to be the most common time to binge, so I would recommend surrounding yourself with people at night, raising your bed time, or finding a new habit to get into at night to distract yourself. Personally, I have a tendency to eat at night, so instead I will drink green tea, so I can continue drinking/eating something, but it is something healthy. And remember, the best person to tell you how to eat is a professional. These are ideas that have worked for me, but EVERYBODY is different, and what works for me may not work for you.

When you're on the verge of a binge, I would recommend you find a new coping skill to distract yourself with. I'm going to give you the TeenHelp Alternatives to Self Harm page because you mentioned that you want to cut, this list is great, and also this list gives you great ideas for distractions which you can use for binging as well.

Good luck! I'm always here if you need, feel free to leave a message.

I made it through one meal and finally felt full. i think it might be a reaction to stress though. Because I can feel that hunger gnaw at me as I think about the day I've had today. My mother said that if it wasn't for me giving her money for rent and phone bill and shit, that I'd pretty much be better off dead. i mean like...my room would be always clean and non-messy. I wouldn't be there to make it messy. So really all I'm good for according to my mother is money. Who cares if I cook stuff for them....They can apparently do a better job themselves (I took 5 years of cooking classes. NOT LIKELY). It just makes me so angry so I end up eating...and eating....and eating at meals. Then my mother calls me unhealthy.
