I'm so sick of myself

Nighttime is the worst time for me and last night was no surprise. I just couldn't stop eating, it's like no matter what I ate it wouldn't fill me up. I was still hungry. It felt physically that I just couldn't get full. I just kept eating stuff and nothing would do it. Then finally I hit my breaking point and was so stuffed I could hardly stand it. I say I will never do that again but usually that thinking lasts until the next time. I wish I would never do it again. I have been fighting for a month to get under 225 and haven't done it yet. Now I get on the scale and it says 229.5. I can't believe how fast I gain weight. I did 5 min on the elliptical and took the dogs for 2 walks but I guess that wasn't enough. Maybe just enough to keep me from gaining another pound. I'm so sick of myself for doing this. It is like a continuous fight inside of my head that won't stop. A battle of wills. I say stop eating but my mouth won't stop, it just is on a path of destruction. I need some advice or tips on how to stop this. I am reading about emotional eating and that isn't helping yet because I just started the book. I get very bored at night and I know that is what is causing this but I don't know how to stop it. I keep telling myself I will go to the gym but by the time I get home from work I am pooped from the day and don't want to leave the house again. I feel bad when I don't come straight home and see the dogs and take them for their walk. Maybe I just need to take them for their walk and then go to the gym. I have to push myself to go or I'm not going to lose any weight. I have to get back on track. I'm so happy for the people on here that are losing at a good pace, I wish I was one of them. So tonight I vow to hit the gym before going to bed. I'll write tomorrow and let you know how this works but if anyone has any suggestions on how to stop the night binges I would love to hear them.

    I don't have "binges", I do have (not lately) what I call "fat attacks" which I when I eat junk food like choc candy and can't seem to stop. You may need a fill...... or stick to these reminders:

    eat protein (it keeps you fuller longer and is the greatest with weight loss)

    get rid of items with simple carbs and simple sugars (they spike your blood, giving you the energy spurt that dissipates quickly and makes you tired and sluggish so you can't make it to workout)

    drink water, fill up on it...pretend like it's a glass of champagne

    if it doesn't come from a mother, don't eat it (stay away from processed quick to eat foods)

    don't buy it!!! If it's not in the house, you can't eat it

    don't be too hard on yourself, if you fall off, get back on again!!!

    Bee Good to yourself and good luck!

    I "suffer" from the some ailment -- which is totally a head thing and not really a stomach thing for me. I tru to stay as far away from the kitchen and the tv as possible -- computer, errands, cleaning. When that exhausts me I lay in bed and watch non-food tv and fall asleep. Its worked a couple times and not worked a couple other.

    The post above says it all -- don't be hard on yourself, just get back on that wagon!

    Good luck :-)
