Good for you for posting! This is such a painful issue. But I am sure that if you persist you will find something that works for you.
I have for most of my life been someone who ate all day long! Unlike you no one forced me to eat when I was a child. My Grandmother loved me because she could feed my all kinds of snacks and then I would sit down and clean my plate! But in my 30's I was going to Overeater's Anonymous. It didn't really help because what I didn't kknow at the time was that my metabolism just couldn't handle sugar. I too need to almost completely eliminate carbs. That combined with Fast-5 have been a perfect combo for me. Also eating enough good fat is an enormous help (but for me it has to be in the absence of carbs)
What I don't understand from your post is if you are lowcarbing now? And still not able to keep to your window? If that is the case then obviously you need to get back on low carb first.
Insatiable hunger is a ususally sign of blood sugar and insulin dysregulation. You may need to do some testing. Your doctor may be of help, or if he was like mine, not so much. If not, a good thing to do is to get a glucometer and test your blood sugar before a meal, one hour after and two hours after that. There is inofrmation about this on www.bloodsugar101.
i also hate to see food wasted. Luckily for us we raise chickens, so nothing here goes to waste. They are thrilled with our leavings. But can't you put what your child won't eat into the fridge for you to eat later? It takes a while to train your hand from just putting that stuff into you mouth, I know, but try to find really reinforcing ideas to fix in your mind to help you. Like what a waste it is for you to feel rotten from eating too much. Anything you can come up with that for you is even worse than wasting the food.

Hi All.
I have never discussed my eating problem with anyone. This is the first time I have attempted because I feel it is ruling and ruining my life!
I have been secretly lurking the forum for a few months now with the intention of starting the Fast 5 but I keep slipping! Now I have fallen off the wagon completely.
I have always had a problem with food. When I was a child I was always made to clean my plate. Lots of starving Children in the World… Clean a plate that had a meal fit for a working man at the age of 9. This meant sitting at the table for hours until I finally managed to clear my plate. I had to resort to hiding food in places until it was safe to throw it away later.
I am 41 next month, 81kg and a compulsive eater. Even though I know how to eat healthily I always find I eat junk. Once I start it's difficult for me to stop. This is why I think the fast 5 will be fantastic for me as it will help me to gain some control back.
The problem I have is I have a 2 year old. I hate throwing food away and he is going through his fussy eating stage. What he doesn't eat I usually do which breaks my window of eating. Also I like t sit down and eat with him to try and encourage him to eat what we eat (healthy food) I never eat junk in front of him. This is reserved for my secret eating. Even my Husband doesn't know about.
I found I am a Protein Type. This means when I have carbs they have a very negative effect on me and make me crave and gorge on the worst kind of simple sugars! If I stick to my Protein Type foods, weight drops off easily and I don't crave food or get hungry between meals.
What can I do to get the control back? Without controlling my food I feel I can't control my life. When I control my food, I feel good. I feel confident and I feel I can achieve anything. I want to feel like that, so why I can't I just do it?
I'm sorry for the long post. Thank you to anyone kind enough to read it and give me some input.
