Food binges starting again

Ok not sure if everyone else experiences this problem as SAD starts to kick in, but in the last couple of days I've gone from eating healthy for the last few months and cutting out almost all snacks containing lots of sugars & junk food etc and eating a lot more fruit & veg to eating a whole big bucket of popcorn and pack of pringles in the space of half an hour and eating snack after snack, my hunger only subsides when tiredness kicks in. Now feeling pretty tired after a binge and have got a bad head, not sure if it's a direct result of lack of sunlight, daylight hours or the fact that eating lots of food generally makes you tired. Anyone else started to binge? How does everyone else deal with the extreme food cravings?

After coming to know about this specific problem that was completely alien to me as I have already confessed I started looking for solutions to the problem but I was even more depressed as I could not get any reliable answers to this. Looks like there are so many individual problems associated and something like binging can only call upon problems, it is the people themselves who have to make out a way to defend against the problem.

I have just discovered Haribo Lite fruit sweets. They are in a 120g bag and are little jelly gums which have no fat, half sugar and are about 200cal for the whole bag.

I know what I will be nibbling on (when I'm not nibbling on my carrots and lettuce etc!!)

For me its chocolate, Galaxy chocolate mmmm



paul :)

You want to be careful, you lot! The Food Police will be out in force!


Can I nip over to Manchester PaulSt and share your Galaxy? Who needs s*x...........? Well at the moment maybe, but another few weeks and Galaxy will be quite sufficient LOL!

Suzie, I had a load of stuff yesterday, but on a course today, so less time to fill face!

OBE-You really summed it up! Thanks for making me smile!

Never really thought about it till I saw this thread but for the past two weeks I've been pigging out on chocolate in the evenings-something I won't even look at during the summer.

I've started eating loads of chocolate for about a week now and started feeling like i wish i was dead too. i've tried all the light therapys going but no good for me. am on 200mcg sertraline. keeps me going through the summer but still very difficult to get through the winter. my closest friends are going to newzealand for a month this winter so it will be much worse this year. i'm so tired but sleep is elusive. i've joined a gym and threw up during my first workout. guess i over did it. got a puppy 2 weeks ago to keep my company when my boys are in school/bed. she is a lovely dog and i think she will help.
um sorry for the long message.
