I'm a serial binge eater. Have been for 6 years since I was diagnosed with type 1. Was also diagnosed with depression that year too.
Has anyone else experienced this and any advice as to how to overcome? I'm at my wits end. Frustrated with myself and just can't get it together.
I have always been a huge eater - as a swimmer, water polo player and later as a strength athlete, 8-10 thousand calories a day was normal. If I was on a weight loss diet, I would gradually drop to around 5,000 calories a day. That was then. Now I am diabetic. here are some tips:I'm a serial binge eater.

I have had problems craving specific foods and think these are the same foods I have sensitivities to. The only way I stop craving them is to avoid them completely and the cravings go after a couple of weeks abstinence. But as soon as I start eating them again, its as bad as it ever was. So now avoid cheese, sugary foods eg biscuits cakes and chocolate, yeasty breads, and the only way I can do it is not to have them in the house. I seem to crave sweet foods when my sugar is high. And of course I give in sometimes and buy them in. I don't know if this will help or not but maybe just another idea.
You are very welcome.@Kyi that's fab advice thanks so much!
