This is my first time doing this ever! .

I am not sure if i have an eating disorder or if this is normal. At times (for about a week or two) i eat like a pig! evrything in sight! and then I go back to normal which is watching what I eat or trying to eat light...... as a matter of fact now that I think of it.. im not sure which one is my normal eating style.. over eating or eating normal portions. Maybe i force myself to watch what i eat.

Either way i would really like some input from someone who might go through the same thing or someone who can tell me if this is an eating disorder .

Eating Disorders

It's not a problem TheMaddCaker.It's happen to almost everyone.Your eating habit is normal.

It's not necessarily normal. Here is some information about binge eating disorder. This would be the closest eating disorder to what you're talking about.

Binge eating disorder is characterized by compulsive overeating in which people consume huge amounts of food while feeling out of control and powerless to stop. The symptoms of binge eating disorder usually begin in late adolescence or early adulthood, often after a major diet.A binge eating episode typically lasts around two hours, but some people binge on and off all day long. Binge eaters often eat even when they’re not hungry and continue eating long after they’re full. They may also gorge themselves as fast as they can while barely registering what they’re eating or tasting.

The key features of binge eating disorder are:

Frequent episodes of uncontrollable binge eating.
Feeling extremely distressed or upset during or after bingeing.
Unlike bulimia, there are no regular attempts to “make up” for the binges through vomiting, fasting, or over-exercising.

People with binge eating disorder struggle with feelings of guilt, disgust, and depression. They worry about what the compulsive eating will do to their bodies and beat themselves up for their lack of self-control. They desperately want to stop binge eating, but feel like they can’t.

Hi TheMaddCaker,
Have you checked your sugar level when you have appetite?
Is there specific you want to eat like sweet/spicy things?
Will suggest you after getting for your reply.
