chorse_70 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 "I hate myself cause I eat too much and I eat too much cause I hate myself. It's a vicious cycle" Said by Big Fat Bastard from Austin Powers. Ever since I heard this I've said this describes me to a tee. I overeat for so many reasons. When I'm happy I eat. When I'm sad I eat, When I'm lonely, when I'm bored, when I'm out with friends. It dosen't matter what mood I'm in I eat all the time and I'm fat as can be. No girl will even look at me. How can I teach my brain to stop this over eating and snacking at night? Dieting didn't work,exercising only lost a little weight,support groups are a joke. Help,Help Help.

SKyler1311 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hey there, I'm classed as morbidly obese, and sometimes I can be really strong, and not want to eat, and then sometimes I just wanna binge, and when I binge it's chocolate or cakes, I don't know what the answer is. I recently had an assessment at a clinic, on the nhs, for weight loss methods, not just surgery, the outcome was that, I can't have the appetite supressants because they work on the same part of the brain as all my BPD meds, and I can't have surgery of any kind on the NHS, because they won't perform it on people with mental health issues, how bizzare, it is part of my mental health issues yet they won't help me, I take 4 different kinds of meds for my BPD probs, and they all have side effects of increased appetite, if I stop them I'd go off my head, and if I take them I'm gonna eat. It's a lose/lose situation, I'm so down at the moment it's ridiculous, yet my shrink thinks I'm not depressed because I'm fat and therefore do not have a loss of appetite, and therefore am not depressed. What a joke.Sorry I don't have the answer Chorse, just thought you'd appreciate knowing you're not alone, as for no girl looking at you, if you're gonna lose weight, do it for you , no one else.

Fairy Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 My husband is overweight, currently losing it, jolly good for him. He has said the same as you Chorse in the past. He eats for every occasion. Good news, bad news, boredom, lonliness. I think he has managed to lose weight now and in the past by replacing food for something else. At the moment he is going to the gym everyday for 20-30 minutes. He also has a new obsession, Nintendo Wii, shooting games. I notice in the evenings, he doesn't seem to snack any more than me now. He is distracted enough not to be thinking about what he can eat next. I think like any addiction, when life does get really tough, you turn back to it. When he lost his Mother, he just didn't care what he ate, went back to getting up in the night and making sandwiches, also I would find a load of chocolate bar wrappers in his trouser pockets when I washed them. I think if we feel denied, we won't suceed, we need to replace the addiction.As for girls, my husband has always been overweight, and I think he is the most handsome and beautiful person in the whole world. The right person for you will love you as you are.Fairy xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
