In reply to binge eating at night, posted by Angela2 on February 8, 2008, at 10:43:47
hey angela-- just saw your post. i experience the same thing myself sometimes. the only time i feel like i have an appetite is late at night, right before i go to bed. i don't know if i start eating becasue i'm actually hungry since i might not have eaten enough during the day. but in any case, once i start eating, i eat a ton, mostly sweets. i've wondered whether the eating might be med-related. i take a bunch of seroquel right before bed, and just as i'm getting sleepy, i also get an appetite. or it could just be coincidence. anyway, i do wish i could spread out the eating during the day and taper off at night.
it does sound like you know the feelings that are causing you to [over]eat at night. i'm not really sure how knowing that you're lonely will stop you from eating, but it seems (from what others say and from what i've read) like recognizing the problem is important.
i realize it's been awhile since you posted, so i hope you've made progress with this issue.
