Binge eating - Why is this happening?

Posted by Wildflower on April 14, 2004, at 14:26:53

I wish I knew the reason behind this new habit of mine but I don't and it really scares me. Each night, I have this sudden urge to eat - not just snack - but really eat everything in sight until I feel sick. Last night I ate half of a full size bag of cheese puffs, a huge chocolate easter bunny, a pint of strawberries and half a pack of raw cookie dough. All of this just an hour after I ate dinner. I wasn't really hungry so I'm not sure why I felt the need to eat.
I feel very sick after doing this but I continue to do it night after night. Could this be the start of bulimia or am I overreacting? (I've already gained 8 pounds in the last 2-3 weeks.)
