Re: Compulsive Overeater!?
Maybe you have a fast metabolism which is a reason u tend to be hungry all the time. Not a bad thing just eat every 3 hrs, small portions and good healthy foods or snacks.
I started doing that and find that I am hungry so hopefully Im speeding the metabolism.

Re: Compulsive Overeater!?
yup, me. I thought it would get better after having a baby but no. I eat like I am still pregnant. I do try and eat healthy snacks when I do eat but sometimes that just wont do.

Re: Compulsive Overeater!?
Are you hungry each time you eat or are you eating out of boredom/anxiety/etc.?
I used to have this problem - I'd go for days barely eating and then go on an eating rampage for a few days.
To stop the cycle, I'd leave where ever I was when the urge kicked in - if I was at work, I'd leave the office for 10 minutes just to clear my head; if I was at home, I'd go to the gym or just go for a walk. Anxiety or sadness triggered the bouts of overeating so I tried to take my breaks to figure out what was really bothering me.
Other things that I did -
*call a friend, family member, DH - anyone who could either be a good distraction or good listener.
*give myself a manicure.
*wrote in a journal trying to figure out what was causing my desire to eat when I wasn't hungry.
*shop.
Hope this helps.

Re: Compulsive Overeater!?
maybe not overeater, but i feel hungry all the time. my metabolism has adhd, because i just had lunch an hour ago and now i'm hungry again.
i try to curb it by eating a granola bar or pretzels. and water, but sometimes i can't drink anymore

Re: Compulsive Overeater!?
I am. I am hungry all the time. I have to work so hard not to eat all the time. I literally have to pull myself up from the table. I never make enough for leftovers because i will eat them at one sitting.
I have been home going on 5 weeks since have surgery and it has been such a effort not eat from boredom and just because the food is there.
