Anyone else have issues with binge eating sweets and deserts at night?
Like a lot of people I gained weight over the quarantine, so I just joined this sub as a way to hold myself accountable.
I’m about 5’9 and 212 pounds and would like to get down to 170. I’ve probably gained around 8 each year since 2014. I exercise a few times a week and am active but my big problem is binge eating at night after dinner.
With this weight gain, I was concerned about diabetes, blood pressure or thyroid issues, but everything with my bloodwork checked out fine. Fortunately, I’m in good health - but far from good shape.
I don’t really each much fast food or chips and don’t drink high calorie beers - but it’s the deserts that just kill me.
It’s especially true at night. I can have a great day eating a small lunch at work, and then a healthy dinner but whenever I have the smallest desert - like a 150 calorie ice cream sandwich I just have the urge to eat more up until the point that I’m stuffed.
Same thing with eating 1 cookie, I just keep eating more to the point that I’ll feel full but I’ll still go back for things like candy. It’s insane but I’ve literally eaten so much to the point that my stomach hurts and doesn’t stop hurting until the middle of the next day.
I do wonder whether this is just a really really bad habit or if it’s a psychological thing like an alcoholic. Because at times, it literally seems like I can’t stop eating, in the same way an alcoholic struggles to only have 1 drink.
Anyone have advice or personal stories of how you conquered this? Because I’m struggling with this right now.
