seriously i have a bad binge eating habit! i tired everything! so please spare me unless its something i haven't listed:
here are the things i tried:
A)going to the gym (i still go so i could maintain my strength to help around the house)
B)going to my school psychologist who told me to:
1)not deprive myself
2)keeping food available so i don't feel deprived
3)not keeping food so i don't snack (after the previous failed)
4)buy small plates to control portions
5) go for a walk
6)think of happiness when i feel a food attack coming on
7)surround myself w/ people
8)buy healthy food
9) only keep fruits and veggies at home...etc
i have such a serious problem! and plus i have depression (clinical) that is partially caused by family issues and so forth (which i cannot change so please spare me that stuff about leaving or think positive) anyway so i eat more because of it since we can't afford to buy my medication all the time
anyway i was wondering if there are any semi-safe pills or something that i could eat to curb my cravings?????? pleaseee i neeed it because i can hover everything and i meannnnn EVERYTHING! that is infront of me... the other day i finished 2 pizzas.... boxes that is .... i couldn't stop! its draining my wallet as well!
i went to doctors and everything and they said it is caused by the depression and coz i have so many chores and stuff to do (we're poor so i can't afford to not do that)
Additional info, added Sunday February 17 2008, 4:57 pm: Thats the problem when i get these "cravings" which feel more like attacks to me.. i can't remember anything but food and how it tastes like! i tried everyyyything... i went on the calorie counting diet and i ate everything without strving myself and maintained a 1300 calorie count each day and then one day i just went crazy and ate a hole bag of cookies a box of crispy kreme and a bowl of my mother's "Swedish" rice........ i feel like a cow and i gained so much weight and i can't bring it down! does anyone know what good pills cut your cravings dramatically?!?! please it is not an anorexic plea i am at risk of heart disease and diabetes since both mum and dad and grandparents have it!.

Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness? imissy0ux3 answered Sunday February 17 2008, 1:35 pm: Some people eat just because they are bored. When i am bored, i know i like to eat, but what i did to get rid of that habit was i started running and dancing. It was so much fun, i didnt even think about eating until after when i was hungry. And also i gained muscle from running and dancing. Find a physical activity you love and do it whenever you eat and you wont think about it, and you will figure out when you are really hungry. Hope i helped!

another thing you could do is use the scale thing. ask yourself on a scale of one to five how hungry you are. one being not hungry and five being starving. you should usually be at a two or three.
