I’m a binge eater. I’ve been lucky most of my life. I could binge and not put on weight. Until recently I’ve been a normal weight even if I’ve never really been thin. I’ve never had to work very hard to hide my binging. I just said I loved food and had a great metabolism and proceeded to eat whatever I wanted whenever I wanted.
A few months ago I started taking 5-HTP to help with my depression (tired of upping the Zoloft dosage and the resulting side effects). It helped the binge eating quite a bit. I would plan a binge, and then decide to do something else. It was a bit bizarre. But I managed to not gain any weight over the holidays, and it may have broken my addiction to sweets – I took a bite out of cupcake today, decided I didn’t want it, and Threw It Away!
