Over-Eating

[Katie7]

Okay, I am the kind of person, that eats and eats and eats sometimes to the point of feeling nauseous and almost throwing up. I dont vomit tho, its like I cant get enough food. I dont gain any weight either(not that im complaining).
Last night for instance, I had a big plate of nachos, and after sitting for about 15 minutes, not doing anything, just sitting and watching a movie, I wanted to eat again. I can keep myself occupied enough, to not think about food.  I eat when there is nothing else to do. I dont get it.
We cant keep any food in the house, because I eat it all!!!!  
If anyone has an suggestions or advice to give, please do not hesitate.
Thanks

I have a friend that is the same way, he can eat all day long, and not gain a single pound, and i believe you just have a REALY HIGH metabolism, that just won't slow down.

[Katie7]

Okay, I am just happy that im not the only one! Thank you so much!! That makes me feel a whole lot better!

If you had been sexually active then you may be pregnant. If not then you are just like my friend who eats alot and nevers gains a pound!

[Katie7]

I have been sexually active, but I am on birth control, and have been for a while now! It could be that I just eat alot, or like need2know722 said I may have a really high metabolism.

It may be possible that you are pregnant because i had a friend who waz sexually activeand used birth control and still got pregnant. if you fell nausia, frequent urine, or enlarged or sore breasts, then you might have a chance of being pregnant. If not then you might have a strong metabolsim. You might want to check that and go see a doctor

I only feel nauseous, because I eat to the point of almost throwing up!
I think I will just wait until next week, when I am supposed to get my period, before I go see a doctor. But thanks hun!

[cool_CAT]

I glad to assit you! If you don't get your period and it is very late, i mean two weeks or more, you may be pregnant. I pretty sure you just have a strong metabolism.

[Katie7]

I know you're going to think this is crazy but you might only need water.  You body can fool you sometimes into thinking its hungry but really it is craving a big glass of water.   I had the same problem and read about this and it worked for me.  Are you drinking enough water?  Or are you drinking soda and coffee etc.?  All of those drinks can dehydrate you.  Also It sounds like your eating out of bordom.  Good Luck

I would say you are fine but since the others have covered all the other basis I will tell you that there is acctually have a disease called prader willys (sp) that causes you to want to eat nonstop. In severe cases people have had to put locks on all the cabinets and fridge just to keep them from eating. I would guess this is not your problem but it wouldn't hurt you to research it.
