AMA # 3

Summary: <p>Questions asked/answered in this episode (in order)<br> <br> Yesterday I noticed a group of girls who were looking at me and  I heard them laughing and and pointing in my direction. I felt down to say the least and immediately wanted to turn to food. I staved it off for a bit, but in the end I eventually succumbed to the need to eat. What can I do in situations like these so I don’t need to eat away my sadness?<br> *<br> I have super healthy evening meals but always eat crap during the day. My dinner is always well formulated with good choices and portion control isn’t an issue at that time. But during the day I’m always snacking and eating- usually foods that are not great choices. How can I break this daytime eating habit?</p> <p>*</p> <p>A few years back I went on a very restricted diet. It worked well and I lost a lot of weight. Now I have gained most of the weight back and  cannot seem to stop binge eating. I can go from eating thousands of calories one day to working out extra hard and not eating at all the next. How can I stop this cycle?</p> <p>*</p> <p>Is there anything to the idea of controlling your eating with  limited food choices? I find that, for example, when I'm only eating stuff like soups, broth, salad, and some meats  that I don't binge, I love food and I feel like  variety might be an important thing. I’m just wondering if there is anything to that.</p> <p>*<br> <br> How do I stop thinking about food all day long? I think about what I’m going to eat today, and some days I even think about what I am going to have tomorrow and the next day. I binge every day. While I’m eating, I’m in heaven. Then when I stop, I’m in hell. Why can’t I stop obsessing over food?</p> <p><br></p>
