can't stop eating

Why am I so hungry?

I can't stop eating, and it's quite worrying. I don't "binge" eat, I'm sincerely hungry.

None of my jeans fit me anymore, grrr. right now I weigh 10 stone five pounds :eek:

And, I'm off to the kitchen because I'm starving!

(I don't eat junk food, and I'm very careful with what I eat and cook too)

I have the same problem.... it lead to a 3 stone weight gain in 2 years. You need to get a grip on it now before it ruins your life. Seriously.

You are not actualy hungry, you just think you are. Its all in the head.

really sorry anon :frown: thanks for the advice, I hope everything get's sorted for you :smile: At least in the summer it'll be easier not to eat!

Very stressed, argh. JUst went down and had three glasses of water, and now I'm having a glass of juice, but I still feel hungry. Can't even feel the weight of it in my stomach
hmm what do you eat.....try eating something more filing maybe?
If you are going to eat loads it needs to be filling but not fattening, and damn healthy. My problem was eating cr*p (bread, snack-a-jacks, chocolate, muffins etc). But idealy you need to stop eating so much, not just substitute what you eat.

WOW, is 3 glasses of fluid doesnt fill you, its psycological hunger. Ive had it before, lol, i always get it b4 exams. I put on a stone! It will hopefully pass soon.

ergh :s well, I hope it's the exams, because that means I'll only have two more months of stuffing myself :smile: then I can start being happy with rabbit food until I shed a stone and a half!

problem is I don't eat yucky foods, I relatively healthy foods. Crisps are non-existant in my house

he he, it says full member under my name :wink:
i get this all of the time, i eat heaps and then feel guilty and then am very very very careful for ages then go back to eating lots, i dont just eat lots a lot. its really annoying, i weighed 50kg a couple of weeks ago and i am too scared to look at the scales now! i hope it's exam stress, though this has been going on ages!
It could also be a form of worms - there's a kind which use up all the energy and nutrients, leaving you hungry all the time. Probs best to wikipedia it and go to your doctor...

It sounds like ur gettin a bit paranoid bout food. If you give it less atention ull gradually feel less stressed bout it. 50kg is tiny, you have nothing to worry about, unless ur 3ft tall, lol!:p:

Thanks!
Umm, what size clothes are you?
50kg is fine. I was 62kg at my thinest and I was one of the best athletes in my year... and I'm 5'2"
are you aeting a lot of carbs and refined sugar? they can make you feel more hungry. try protein rich snacks like nuts which should make you feel fuller for longer.
8, sometimes i might go to 10 (obv wit a belt) if i want, my ass holds fat like you wouldn't believe!!! haha!:redface: how about yourself(s)?
