Okay hey everyone,Im a emotional eater,since Iv went through alot(and still am!) and I found that eating loads of bags of chips isnt great for being bloated,and it makes u feel slow and slugg-ish
Even tho Im like 8stone,(I think Iv lost 1stone but Ill edit this later) and many people think im RLY rly skinny,,but I binge binge binge,but dont gain it! but now I am...boo hoo...so here is my plan to stop
-Look at skinny girls and think that ur not like them-your not skinny.
-Pick a really ugly animal (i choose a dirty pig! ) and remind urself that you are one and have to "wash all the fat off"
-Go to gym as much as possible
-Stop eating choclateand binging(only 1 a month  when ur period starts )
 If you want to loose weight you have to have...will power!!!!-->

Everything I've heard says to love yourself, ad try to begin to accept yourself the way you are..
...not tell yourself you are a dirty pig. Aren't you worried you will develop a self confidence problem if you spend all day telling yourself how horrible you are?
I mean, if it work for you, great, but why not try the idea of positive affirmations?
Instead of "I am fat and ugly"
"I deserve to be beautiful and happy"
Instead of "I will never ever eat chocolate or cake or any kind of junk food"
"I will feed my body healthy foods, and treat myself every now and then"
Things like that. It does no good to put yourself down.

I'm not overweight, but because I too like to eat, I have noticed the pounds packing on over the last 8 years, which gave me a reality check (seeing as I am 30 pounds heavier than I was 8 years ago).
I am really passionate about food, so when I find something I like, I will eat it frequently and in large quantities (example: orange-cicles, fetuccini alredo, and cookie dough ice cream). Although it tastes good on the way down, 3 portions later, I feel like I might explode. I realize that this is unhealthy, so I have been making a conscious effort to eat less at each meal, and the only way that I find it works is if I eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day, instead of 3 large ones. This way, my body isn't concerned with when I might eat next and is constantly in a state of satisfaction. Another point is to eat until you are satisfied, not until you're full, and the only way to do this is to eat slowly, since it takes your brain a bit to catch upto your stomach. Drinking more fluids, especially water and tea in-between meals, also helps to keep that feeling of satisfaction.
Don't eliminate things you love, or else this will never work. I still eat ice cream and pasta, but I stick to the recommended serving/portion size (about 1/2 cup of pasta or ice cream per meal). I also had a bad habit of eating dessert at every meal (I have a serious sweet tooth) so instead of cutting it out, I still ate chocolate or ice cream for one meal, but substituted fruits for the other meals. The key here is everything in moderation.
Perhaps you should take your mind off of your desire to eat more by taking on a hobby or doing something active, like dancing, hiking, visiting museums, or volleyball (or whatever interests you). I find that when I am out doing something, I forget about my cravings because I'm too busy having fun.

Well, let the self esteem flow....
At the age of 15-20 I weighed about 125 (i am 5'10) thought I was fat...wasnt at all.
Between 20-25 weighed 135, thought I was fat...wasnt at all.
Between 25-35 weighed 165, thought I was fat....wasnt at all.
Now I am 40 and weigh about 245, I am overweight, but dont consider myself disgusting as a pig, in fact I dont think pigs are disgusting.
So when you look at those girls and say to yourself you are not as skinny as them, you probably are.
With weight comes wisdom  lol... Looking back I simply shake my head at my thinking.
