binge eating and lack of sleep.
I keep doing it! like just eating foods for no reason. like sometimes i'll have things like too many apples, just cause they taste good, or other foods, just cause they taste good,when im not really hungry. i always try to stop it, and tell myself that i wont do it anymore, but i keep doing it! And im gaining a little pounds.. i mean i do sports so im not getting that fat, but like i dont wanna be unhealthy and get diabetes possibly. how can i stop this habit? i really want to.. but its hard. i mean, we mostly have healthy food at my house, but sometimes i'll just overeat especially when im like watching tv cuz theres nothing better to do but eat when you do that. and its hard to do stuff outside cuz of the snow, so besides sports i cant really do anything, like on a normal day besides on the computer or watching tv. when im on the comp, its in the basement so im not really tempted to get something to eat or really leave the chair for a while (this is another habit.. i stay too long online! like i think i've stayed online all night 3-4 times in my life. or i'll stay on for a long time.. especially if i have hw on the computer i get so distracted!!! could staying online like this make me gain more weight?) echh please help with my problems.. i try to stop, but i just end up doing it over again.. :/ also how many meals are you supposed to have in one day? THANKS!

It's recommended that you have multiple small meals throughout the day rather than one or two big ones (I've heard five mentioned, but whatever works for you without giving you an overload of calories).
As far as binging goes, it's not easy to deal with. It's good that you're starting to identify your triggers, such as watching tv. Could you take up something like knitting that would use your hands and keep them busy, without having to have food in them? Can you make a stern rule for yourself that you simply will not eat in front of the television?
One thing I've heard that helps is before a binge, write down what time of day it is, what you're doing, and perhaps most important, how you feel. When you've done that for a few weeks, you might be able to notice a pattern, and it might even stop you from binging because it forces you to hold off for long enough to jot the information down.
Good luck. It's a tough thing to do, but the first step is to acknowledge that it's something you need to deal with.
