[QUOTE="Kyi, post: 1079029, member: 211285"] Hi, Im a binge eater too. For me its Chinese food and Pizza. I started to keep a food diary to see if there was any links to why I binge eat. There were 2 things I noticed 1, starvation is not good. When my depression kicks in and I do not want to cook, I will binge or starve 2) typically I binge on wheat related foods and I crave more and more when I eat them. One of the things I found to combat my depression was getting my doctor to check my bloods and found I was vitamin D deficient. Once I was put on Vit D medication, I was no longer as depressed as I had been. You need to get this check by a Dr because too much vit D is harmful as it uses up calcium and you get calcium deficiency and problems relating to the calcium being in your blood.(I was at 10 and should have been between 65 and 85). Celebrate you small successes with a pat on the back when you do not binge. Today I hadnt planned what I was going to eat. It is really really tempting to just order my Nemesis but my resolve held today for the first time in a long long time.
