Q. I've been trying and failing to lose weight for years, and lately I've been doing very well. Excercising daily and eating healthy, but I keep binge eating before I go to bed, please help. Xx
A. Hi, I also suffer from binge eating :( I know this is kind of weird but I was wondering if maybe we could e-mail each other tips and once we get to know each other maybe exchange numbers and text when we feel like we are about to binge? I know this sounds kind of creepy, but I promise, I actually am interested. If you are too just e-mail me at dana_joey@yahoo.com
If you don't want to, here are some tips. . .
What I do is make a huge jug of tea (normally in a container that holds 8-12 cups) if I want to eat I make tea and tell myself that I need to drink all of it before I can eat anything. By the time I'm done i'm normally full + it has given me time to think about how sad I will be after I eat.

What is the easiest way to lose weight?
Q. I have around 3 stone to lose and would love to lose it, or the vast bulk of it before christmas.
Apart from the obvious thing of eat less and go to the gym(i've started this), is there any other tips you can give me?
How can i stop myself from craving and binge eating?
At this point i'm willing to do anything

A. Binge eating and cravings come from giving up the things that you love, you need a complete life change if you want to succeed. That is why diets donât work or work for a while and then you gain back all the weight you have lost..
Going to the gym is good but you could also try walking a couple miles a day if you can.. The more calories you burn the better results you will get, walking will make you breath more deeply and the sunshine will help you sleep at night which is hard to do when you diet..
The best way to deal with binge eating is to find different foods to replace the ones that you binge on.. Donât keep foods in your house that you know will make it hard for you to give up.. I donât eat chocolate so I buy other candy that has almost no calories and eat them instead..
The cravings were the hardest things for me.. You need a lot of variety the more the better but keep things in your house that you like, nothing is worse than trying to make yourself eat foods that you donât like just because someone tells you there good for you.. Instead of pears which I donât like I eat lots of bananas.. Instead of potato chips, I eat pretzels which are fat freeâ¦
I hope you find some of this useful, and the link below is good too⦠Good luck and hang in there itâs hard to lose weight..

How can i get help on having an eating disorder?
Q. i want to stop being bulimic before it gets worse, i started awhile ago but then managed to stop but things didn't stay and i started again but i don't binge eat and mainly just purge after tea- i keep purging after tea until acid stuff just comes out.
but i don't want to tell friends as none of them are that close to me anymore and my parents wouldn't understand and i don't want professional help i just want someone to help me out abit.

A. Bulimia is very difficult to recover from without professional help. Depending on your age, you might be able to get help from professionals without informing your parents. If you're underage and want professional help, you would most likely have to tell your parents.
You might also want to consider talking to a counselor, social worker or psychologist at your school.
Another idea is to find a support group for those who are going through eating disorders. These groups can be extremely helpful, and will allow you to talk with others who are in similar situations.
If you're hesitant to talk to a psychologist, you could ask your doctor for a recommendation to a nutritionist, who would be able to help you to normalize your eating patterns, and give you suggestions for foods to help you, and plans and strategies that will help you in recovery.
I also have an eating disorder and I understand how hard it is to recovery. I would really recommend talking to a doctor, psychologist and dietician to help you in your recovery. Also, in my personal experience, my parents have been much more understanding and helpful than I had ever expected them to be.
