I think I have bulimia. Please help?
In the past month I have been having crazy cravings for food. Almost just any food. It takes over my mind. I try to control it and throughout the day Im almost alright but when I get home it's over. I eat anything and everything I found. Example; Yesterday I had 1 carrot, 2 celery sticks, 1 can of salmon, 1 can of southern red beans, about 1/2 cup of almond butter mixed with brown sugar and raisins, 1 apple, and 1 cup of somen noodles. Basically I eat until my tummy is so full that is stretched out and hurts and I'm uncomfortable. I have tried to make myself trow up but I couldn't so I had laxative tea. I tried to go to bed to stop but sometimes I even get up from bed to eat some more. It's like someone put a spell on me. I am 5'8 and 137lb. Normal weight I think. Please Do not tell me to eat small portions throughout the day etc because I do that and I drink plenty of water. I am very knowledgeable about health and nutrition so I do not need advice in that area. I do not have a car nor money so please do not suggest therapy. I think I'm going trough a bad face with food. I think what I need is a strong appetite suppressant to rewire my brain to stop eating like this. Kind of how anti depressants work. If you any product out there that is not too bad for you and it has a STRONG appetite suppressant qualities, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!! Thanks

I had the same problem for most of my life. It started when I was a kid and persisted into my adult years. Oftentimes, there’s a lot more going on than we’re aware of that causes this problem. Sometimes people think it’s simply emotional eating; other times they think it’s just a bunch of bad habits or an eating disorder.
It’s hard to describe exactly how you feel when this happens, I know, so I’ll post an excerpt from my site that gives a little bit of my personal experience to see if it is congruent with yours. If so, there’s only one way to fix it; the site will tell you how as I don’t have enough room to write everything I would like to here. It’s unconventional, but I guarantee you it works!
Begin excerpt from http://www.superstarhealth.com/
Scenario 1:
Ever since I was a kid, I would get around food and suddenly feel an uncontrollable urge to eat. It was almost as if I was magnetically attracted to the food, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t resist it or put it down. Whenever this happened, I would eat until I finished the entire box, package or container, or, until I was almost sick.
Scenario 2:
I would sit down to have a meal, and I would unexplainably continue eating even if I was no longer hungry. I would start to eat, and then for some reason, I couldn’t or didn’t want to stop. It was like something inside of me was driving me to eat more, and before I knew it, I had eaten two or three times as much as I had originally planned.
If you’ve experienced either of these two scenarios—to some degree at least—then you already know how frustrating and problematic they can be (especially when it comes to weight gain). For me, however, they were more than just experiences; they were lifelong burdens that plagued me from my childhood well into my adult years.
To give you an idea of just how dangerously serious this problem was for me, there were times when I would have such an insatiable urge for food that I would literally eat everything I could get my hands on.
Sometimes I ate a whole large pizza; once in a while I ate half a cake or a pie; a few times I ate four or more Whopper hamburgers with fries and a shake, and once, I even ate more than a dozen tacos (back when Taco Bell had six and twelve packs).
If it was edible and it was in front of me I would eat it, and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t stop myself.
After many years of thinking I had bad eating habits, lacked self-discipline and was just plain crazy, my life changed forever when I attended a workshop-type retreat and discovered the mind-boggling truth.
