How did you stop yourself from binge eating?

I loovvvee to eat and I was the type of person who would get grumpy if I miss a meal haha. Even though my fitness level was great I was still over weight b/c of my constant eating. Thankfully I broke that habit and even though I still have my moments, I will never go back to where I use to be.

So how and when did you realize the binge eating has to stop and stop for good? Here's mine:

I had my first son in July of 2010. I was my biggest weight ever and didn't show any signs of stopping. I would pray to God to make something in me happen so I can stop all this eating! One day I ate a fatty meal and I got what I thought was heart burn. Day by day it got worse and worse until I was throwing up and constantly being sent to the emergency room. No one knew what was wrong with me but I eventually became severely dehydrated(b/c I couldn't eat or drink anything!) and Jaundice. When I got admitted to the hospital they found out I had gall stones in my gall bladder and one was stuck in a tube that connects my gall bladder to my stomach. It got so bad, my gall bladder was infected and so was my liver causing the jaundice. Right then was a wake up call. Within only a couple of weeks of my illness I went from 210 to 186. I didn't get my gall bladder taken out(I did research and I refused to get it taken out of me) but I realize I CAN go without eating loads of food and I'm not going to starve to death! So from that day forth I just stopped eating so much. I know it may sound simple but its so naturally to me. Now that I experienced real starvation I can experience what it feels like to be full. No matter how hungry I am I can not overeat(unless you have one of those days where the food it sooooo good you can't stop lol).

No I'm not saying you should go on a food fast but to me it was:

1.) a spiritual journey unique to me and
2.) IF YOU DON'T STOP YOURSELF FROM BINGE EATING MORE THEN LIKELY YOUR BODY WILL.

Rather that's gall stones, diabetes etc. Food with come back and bite you in the butt!View Thread
