> > A lot of times I binge eat at night. Sometimes I do it because I am lonely. Other times is because I am bored. A little while ago I got a hold of it becuase I realized I have the power to make it stop. But Lately I have been so
unhappy that I've started it up again, not caring what it does to my body until the next morning
when I feel so guilty.

> Are you really bingeing, or just over-eating. I ask because for me a binge is anything over 100 calories.
>
yeah I eat over 100 calories, like after I've had dinner.> You say you feel unhappy. Do you see a therapist or are you on meds? Prozac is said to stop the binge cycle, but I don't know if that is true.
>I just started seeing a therapist. I'm trying to get out more too (to make friends n stuff). babble is helpful too though.
> You need to deal with your sadness and then your problems with food probably won't be as bad.
>Maxime, I think there are times when I don't know why I eat so much. But other times I see it is due to loneliness or boredom.
> Good luck.
Thank you for your thoughtful response!!
