My brother is away for the week and i'm normally allowed to stay up to 11 and my brother makes sure i go to bed. So i'm staying up later (a lot later) and i'm eating a lot at night. i'm afraid that i'm going to gain a lot of weight because i'm not going to be able to work it off. i don't want to throw it up because 1.that's just nasty 2.it's unhealthy 3.if i try it i might continue and become bulimic. could someone help me on what to do?
VainTaraLynn answered Saturday August 13 2005, 1:40 pm: Try to find something to do to occupy your time, its not good to eat late at night because then you cant burn it off during the day, and when you sleep it can turn to fat. Try occupying yourself at night by watching movies, talking to friends, or listening to music. Try not to think about eating. Dont throw up your food for sure because that can cause serious health problems. If you feel the urge to eat, just go to bed. Its better than having a health problem.

illNEVERforgetTHATnight answered Thursday August 11 2005, 2:34 pm: ok i eat a lot at night and im afraid im going to gain weight too.
just keep yourself busy. talk on the phone. watch an interesting TV show. paint your nails. read a book/magazine...
its fine to eat. i love eating! haha...but right before i go to bed, i do about 100 sit-ups. or i run during the day. if your not that kind of person to work out, you could always go back to sleeping at 11...and then you'll be back to the way you were before.
hope i helped! <3 [ illNEVERforgetTHATnight's advice column | Ask illNEVERforgetTHATnight A Question ]
coolwater answered Thursday August 11 2005, 5:09 am: If that really does happen to you, I feel that you should use the regular schedule your brother had on you. It helped you and it worked so maybe you should go back to it. If you feel that it's not as much freedom as you have right now, then go for it! Why not? Try it! Your weight will probably go away, when your brother comes back and you'll be back to normal. Your choice. Besides, your conscience will tell you right from wrong. So, you have two options! Goodluck and hope my advice helps! [ coolwater's advice column | Ask coolwater A Question ]
Shortcake22 answered Thursday August 11 2005, 2:17 am: When you're thirsty, a lot of times your body mistakes it for hunger pains. Drink a big glass of cold water, and your stomach will be full. If not, then try to go to bed or keep yourself busy. If you are busy, you are less likely to think about food. If you must eat, eat something healthy like a small salad, some grapes, or an apple.

icey0990 answered Thursday August 11 2005, 12:36 am: 1. ok its not nasty if you eat like a healthy snack. try fruits, veggies, etc.
2. eating healthy shouldbt be bad for you..even if its later at night. yeah they say you shouldnt eat after 8 or some crap because your digestive system slows down but i dont think veggies and fruits will hurt.
3. a person who is mentally healthy and secure wont become bulimic. its not like your shoving cake down your mouth late at night.
