Overcoming binge eating advice?

-

Female, 18, 5'4, 130-135 lb

I am not overweight but I would still like to change my eating habits. I used to be less than 110 pounds and have a relatively good relationship with food; after unnecessary dieting due to insecurity (which now amazes me because I was already fine before, what was I thinking?) my weight has increased. Now I am trying so hard to overcome binge-eating. I don’t know if mine is severe but I often eat until my stomach physically hurts and I’m close to throwing up. It has caused me stomach discomfort, acid reflux, nausea, and just really makes me feel bad overall. I'm starting to become concerned about my health (eating that much at a time must really wreck havoc on the system.) I eat out of boredom and I turn to it for comfort when it is the very thing that makes me uncomfortable! (gosh) I really hope I can just regain my healthy relationship with food and get over my obsession. I think a little bit of weight loss would come naturally with ending my binge-eating, but that is no longer my main concern. I'm going to start listening to the Brain Over Binge podcast. Any advice would just be great!

I've lurked on here for awhile but never posted. Seeing all the changes you guys made helped my girlfriend and I finally start thinking about our health and the future. We we're around 280-270 at 5ft 8in. We promised to lose weight in January and decided to run with it. After looking at all the different ways people lost weight, we decided that trying to go vegetarian and counting calories would probably work the best. We limited ourselves to 1600 calories a day and kept at it. I eventually went back to meat simply because the vegetarian meat substitute was starting to get expensive (I can buy chicken patties and get twice as much for the same price). We haven't exercised one bit but we are looking forward to hiking and doing more Sports this summer. I used to BMX race when I was younger and I really want to get back to doing that or mountain biking. The biggest hurdle for me to get over was to stop stress-eating. I've had long standing issues with some mild depression

I’ve been “trying” to lose weight since June. I am OFFICIALLY starting tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the first of the month AND the first of a week, so it seems as good a time as any to get started. I got engaged in June of last year, and wanted to start losing weight for my upcoming wedding in July then. But I just... didn’t. I tried lazily to eat a little bit better and work out a bit, but I never made a commitment. I would LOVE if I would have started in June. I’d be so much further along! But now, I’m starting tomorrow. So in 3 months I don’t say “I’d be in such a better place if I started in April!” A quote I really love is: “The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” So let’s get it! Excited to join this incredible and welcoming community, and finally lose this weight. submitted by /u/lilspaghettigrandma [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/b7vfnk/ive_been_trying_to_lose_weight_since_june_i_am/
