What am I Doing?

[miss-_jay]

IM not sure if this will make sense...but I am not sure what is wrong with my eating habits...
I often seem to 'binge' in the afternoons or after dinner, and I tend to eat alot of food really quickly and without really thinking about it.
As soon as I get the idea into my head, there seems to be no stopping me, despite how healthy I have been during the day.

This happened again today, despite promising myself I am going to make a real effort this time and shake the stubborn six kilos from my frame for good.
I about half an hour I ate half a packet of those smiths crisps, 4 biscuits and a bowl of cereal.
Now I feel guilty, fat, unattractive and pathetic.
Am I binge eating? Or is this common?

Where you actually hungry? Physically hungry in the stomache? Or what other feelings did you have?

My god I know that feeling all too well. I have just had a good 2 days, but before that I had a whole 2 weeks of doing just that!
It is a horrible vicious cycle! I am with you in that I too do not know what to do about it! I am trying to ensure that I only eat 3 meals aday with out snacking in between.

Yep I do this too. I can have 'eating amnesia' aswell. Its onl;y when I really think about it I am shocked with how much I can put away!!
Avoid food at those times. Do you need to have it in your house? Get rid of it, or if you have to have those snack things for kids etc, buy stuff you dont like. Swap the ice cream for frozen yohgurt, at the if you do binge you wont do as much damage.
