Q. I'll be so confident about not binge eating all day, then by noon I'll have such a terrible migraine that it makes me nauseous and unable to even get out of bed.
How am I suppose to overcome binge-eating if I have god-awful migraines when I DON'T DO IT?

A. You go see a doctor and get some medication to help you relieve or avoid the migraines, that's how. If you are getting a headache because you are not eating, perhaps you have a physical malady that could be treated. Or you are not eating enough to begin with, except when you binge. If your current diet habit is to skip meals and starve for long periods of time, then eating sensibly three or more times a day would also probably work. True hunger is usually the response of a body desperate for fuel. So if you skimped on dinner and skipped breakfast, a headache and hunger would be normal reactions. How much you eat and what you eat is a different story. For now though, I suggest a visit to the doctor to find the reason for the headaches, and a better solution than you have now.
For ppl who have overcome bad eating habits: how did you do it?
Q. Did you used to have junk food addictions or binge eating, or just generally unhealthy eating habits, as in eating a lot of foods high in salt, carbs, fat, sugar, or sodium and few fruits or vegetables? If so, what ways worked for you to kick those habits to the curb for good, and keep a healthy diet? What other factors did you find fit int the situation that helped clear up the habits?
I am over 30 and I need to change my eating habits because soon I may have serious health problems as a result. I ain't 18 anymore! LOL Hence the reason I'm asking the question.
Just an extra detail even though there's less than a day left on the question. LOL A couple of you have mentioned losing weight; that's not an issue for me, I've always been skinny (luckily). I'm trying to change my habits so I STAY that way, and of course avoid the health issues. :)

A. First, let me validate your decisioin to change your eating habits. I did mine and I don't regret it at all! It seems the body can take only so much of the same old diet then it starts to rebel.
What I did is I started to learn asian cooking...and have never regretted it. Besides eating mostly rice and chicken now, I think one of the main changes was to Peanut Oil. I have now come completely off of "vegetable oil", which seems to have been clogging my skin pores and making me feel generally tired and crappy. Also, I gave up on rapeseed (Canola) years ago. Seems it is also "toxic" to a degree. But I have no problem so far with Peanut Oil. It's a bit more spendy, but well worth it! My skin pores are gradually clearing out and they can breathe better. My color is returing and I'm even beginning to exercise!! I'm not 18 anymore either, but if you treat your body well, it should rebound.
Good luck!

How do you break a habit of a lifetime? any tips?
Q. Could be any bad habbit, like chewing your nails, or binge eating, anxious habits ect
A. It's definitely something you can accomplish with hard work and determination. If you find that you are struggling to get a grip on your anxiety, I suggest you re train your mind with a bit of CBT, It helps you to overcome fears by repetitive mind training. Just like when you constantly tell your kids to look for cars before they cross the road, eventually it sinks in. When we are older it takes a wee bit longer to do this, but it can be done.
Best of luck!
