under eating and over eating

[WhiteBear]

as above is that normal??

there are times where i hardly eat at all, then the following day i just cant stop eating-mainly junk!

what's wrong with me?

is it to do with my depression and stress?? how do i prevent this happening again?

[sara3]

hey WhiteBear, it's me :o)

I eat badly. I hardly eat anything during the day but have a big meal in the evening, and naughty chocolate and sweeties.

it's bad habits, that's all. but eating healthy foods regularly would probably have a positive impact if you suffer with depression. you have to make a commitment to changing your lifestyle x

[no-knowledge]

you are a young girl whitebear........try to getout of the house more.







no sara i am not.;0)

I don't go with 3meals p.d. etc - I just eat what I fancy when I'm hungry. I can forget to eat some days. It catches up at 2am when I get up ravenous.

[WhiteBear]

hey sara, r u still eating giant choc buttons?

i dont have proper meals. today i had
simply oats for breakie,
fruit salad for morning snack,
a small portion of veg fried rice for lunch,
a packet of cheesy balls,lunch snack
a small piece of quiche for tea
another packet of cheesy balls
a bar of choc
some dried mangos

i still want to eat!! not proper meals but something to nibble!! =(

i think i should have proper meals!!

no-k i live in an apartment and i live quite near a rough area so im scared going out at this time of the night! some girl got raped couple months ago round the area.


tamborine, i was told u r suppose to have 5 small meals a day to keep your digestion working properly.

I thought you lived in the city center?

[WhiteBear]

i do live in the city centre- the other end.

[poltergeist]

what other end? there are no rough places in the city center.

sara3, you should try my diet, i'm a van driver london and live on hob-nobs

I am pretty much the same as you white bear.

I personally believe the body craves whatever it needs, so if your blood sugar is low, you crave suger, if your calcium is low, you crave things like cheese.

Thats what I believe anyway, but I am in no way medicaly educated.

[sara3]

WB - don't go out alone at night. and nothing on your food list would qualify as a small meal! are you sure you don't have other eating issues?

catweasle - I could do that too :o)

nk - I know ;o)

[WhiteBear]

harehills, holbeck, beeston, chapletown, hunslet

you want me to list more?? these are within mins walk to city centre you div.

[poltergeist]

they are not the city center though

[WhiteBear]

rcl1,

oh i know i crave all the time. but the more fruits i eat the more hungrier i get, and i tend to search for crisps or chocolates =( i should stop stocking up!

sara, i know i sholdnt walk alone at night, just around the corner there's a salvation army building too!!
if i head out of town.. maybe 35-40mins walk i would walk pass a takeaway where a man got shot couple yrs ago i think.. it was in the national news, crimewatch etc!!!!!!

sara i think ive eaten more... ohhh i also had a packet of malteasers, and a piece of cake!! =(

i think im Fasting tomorrow!

im off to brush my teeth and go to bed at least this will stop me from raiding the cupboards! night night xx

I tend to stop stocking up with junk food now, and buy packs of snack size aeros allowing myself 1/2 per day.

It takes a lot of will power, but you get used to it if you can stick to it for a couple of week.

I also make sure I have no cash on me, and if i go out, i leave my cash card behind.

This stops me buying any 'extras' whilst i am out.

[poltergeist]

they are not the city center though I mean if you live in Holbeck you dont say you live in the city center do you?

[rcl1]

that is one to two per day, not half of one btw.

WB-other than the 2 packets of cheeseballs and the bar of chocolte-everything else sounds fine. Substitute fruit or yogurt for those and you will be fine.
Eating small amounts often as you do is ok.....keeps the body constantly supplied with energy.
