Party Vibe

I love binge eating, until I feel like my stomach is gonna rupture….

I’m sorry, that’s really sad to hear, my friend suffered from that. If it’s really bad she needs to go see a doctor. It usually is caused due to a lot of stress, she needs to find ways to handle stress like meditating or exercising. She needs to start off by eating a whole 3 meals a day, starting with a balanced breakfast because skipping meals usually is what makes you want to binge. She can’t think of it as dieting because cutting unhealthy foods out just leads to wanting them even more, the key is to focus on foods in moderation. Also how much sleep does she get? Lack of sleep makes you want to keep eating to fuel your body to keep it running for the day. Plenty of sleep and this might sound like it doesn’t work but she can keep a food journal and she can write down everything she eats and when she’s eating. If you look at it after, you’ll start to see patterns of her abnormal eating. It doesn’t seem like it would work but that’s how my friend started cutting back and realized how horrible she had been eating over the past months. So, handling stress, 3 meals a day, plenty of sleep, food journal. I hope this helps!!:)

Please help.

I agree, pro advice is what she needs – but there is hope. What she’s doing is getting a big level of comfort from the food – the immediate satisfaction.

What she needs to do is find alternative sources of happiness, AND come to terms with a rotten history.

We all have a history. But, “It’s not where you start – it’s where you finish.”

The only way to properly deal with past trauma is through therapy. Not CBT crap but actual psychotherapy or hypnotherapy.

Oh I dunno. There’s always the French Foreign Legion. They’ll take ANYONE… 🙂

Hello people, this person clearly just needs a fat bomb of mandy down their neck. That’l stop the cravings for at least 8hours

I was gonna suggest speed, but then i thought she would binge twice as much at the end as she wouldn’t of eated for hours and hours.

CBT

if they are in the UK tell them to go to their GP and as for CBT therapy from their local IAPT (improving access to psychological therapies service) but this will be for the depression not the binge eating – however if the depression is helped the binge eating should be better,

alternatively ask to be referred to their local eating disorders service if the eating is the primary problem

however your friend needs to want to sort this out themselves……..
