I Eat Too Much

But I Don't Know Why..

Written on March 10th, 2008

Lately (the past couple months or so) I have been really noticing how much I really am eating. Like for some reason it has just been out of control... Take today, for instance: 6 mini banana nut muffins, about a half a bag of sunflower seeds, 3 bowls of cereal, about two servings of turkey w/ gravy, about 1 1/2 cup of vegetables, about 2 cups of chicken flavored rice, about 1 1/2 cups of potatoes, and just now about a cup of pudding. Oh my god. And this is almost a normal day for me. (sometimes much worse) The part that bugs me the most, though, is the fact that with each new thing throughout the day, I am thinking the whole time about how I am not hungry (because I really am not, most likely) and how I am trying to cut back and need to not eat anything else and get a glass of water or something instead. And then after I have eaten the new addition, I feel terrible, not just mentally, but physically. It is awful. It is almost like I am doing it against my own will.......

I know it's a bit mean to ask this of you, but I've always wanted to see what happens when this happens and wouldn't dare to try it myself.

Right, you say that you keep trying to cut down on what you eat and no matter what you do you keep having cravings? Well, why don't you try to eat. Like, instead of trying to kick the urge away, why not indulge it? I don't know why I really thought of it, it just seemed to make some sort of reverse sense. :P

If not that, then perhaps identify when you eat and what's going through your head and when you last ate. Certain foods could be causing you to want to eat more. Like, whenever I eat grapes, it's carbohydrate central here.

And if that still doesn't work, have you ever thought about fasting when you know your 'bad times' are? That way, you can exercise willpower with a label rather than simply 'resisting the urge'. Like, I know that saying, "I'm Fasting, so I can't eat", is a frikkin' stronger way of not eating that saying, "I can't eat because I'll become X/Y/Z".

I know how you feel, it is obsessive. Are you taking any medication that may be causing hunger as a side effect? Any changes in your level of activity?
