I wish I stopped eating when I get depressed.. instead, I eat and eat and eat. Right now all I can think about is how awesome it would be to be at home in bed with some cream based, fatty soup, a big loaf of carbs and a bucket of ice cream, and possibly a latte. A bag of chips? I don't care, as long as there is a high dose of transfats, calories, carbs, and something that will make me hate myself later when I've eaten so much I can't move. I just get fatter but it tastes so good.

Oddly enough, when I started smoking pot at night, I stopped compulsively feeding my depression. I guess I just needed some sort of substance to chase the sads away, not that it worked! Just something to pass the time. Not that I condone this. Once I made changes to my life and became happier, I gradually started eating better and the weight came off naturally. It takes time though... hang in there!

^ Smoking pot made you eat LESS??? Opposite, for me. Munchie central.

Me too, munchies! I was thinking that might be part of my problem.. smoking pot at night.. or any time for that matter.. but it is so nice.. like eating. Super jealous that helps you, been there! The only thing that helps me not eat is drinking beer... which.. well.. i might as well be eating!

Reminds me of someone I once knew, who did this compulsively and it got very, very messy. She blamed everyone and anything for this behaviour , at least you aren't doing that and are accountable.

...HORRIBLE when it comes to binge/compulsive eating. i used to smoke pot very regularly, and it made the urges SO much worse. i can't even begin to describe to you how much worse it made it. not that the urges didn't exist before the pot, nor did they completely go away after i stopped smoking, but i was much better able to deal with it once i stopped. a lot of it has to do with how you feel, and the rest of it has to do with irregular eating habits and poor choices in food. eat 6 small meals/snacks throughout the day to regulate your blood sugar, and make sure each has a mixture of protein, carbs and fat. i'm sure you know what is healthy/not healthy, but don't completely deprive yourself. eating "treats" will actually help curb the urges to binge; it is all about portion control and being mindful while you eat. actually pay attention to the tastes, textures etc. and take your time. make sure you drink enough water too as we often will mistaken thirst for hunger.
