Binge Eating
This is my first post so I apologize if I am repeating any posts.I am a 24 yr old college student, single mother and work part-time. I get little sleep with my toddler and school. While pregnant with my child, I gained 60lbs and have not been able to lose 25lbs after a year. I have never had trouble losing weight before but now am having a hard time eating less foods. When I think of not eating as much as I do, I will eat twice as much and sometimes eat so much I throw up a few times a day. It is not everyday, as when I am busy I do not think about eating. It is when I am home on the weekends I can not control myself with salty/cheesy/sweet foods. I want to constantly eat cookies, candy or anything sweet. I feel I have NO self control over food and have never had this issue. It has become a very big problem now and I have seen a counselor two times but the binging has not stopped. I am wondering if there is a homeopathic that I could take to help with these binges?
I have taken Sulphar to help with sweet cravings in past and did work but not long term.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Hmm.. and can you correlate some life event to the start of this problem ?
Describe your general personality, anxieties, fears, and the behavioural traits or habits which differentiate you as a person. These are very important for picking the right chronic remedy.

Within the past two years I had dated a man for 8 years prior and ended the relationship while pregnant, moved across my state and started an entire new life without him. Slight change there. lol I also just began speaking to my father this past year after 2 years of seperation. I have begun deeper levels of spiritual work online and have a very strong fear of spirits coming to me in the dark. I do have a finger sucking habit that I have never been able to get rid of. I am not much of a nervous person and have very little anxiety as counseling really helped relieve those symptoms. I go through mood swings of being very energetic and getting everything done but do not sleep well at night and wake many times. It takes a long time to fall asleep and I get restess le and arm syndrome very badly but take vitamin B6 for it when I feel it oncoming. It's like when I'm up, I'm up but when I'm down, I'm very down and eating nonstop. I feel very deep emotions but do not express them the way I feel them (but believe I do not withold my true feelings when it is important). I am slightly overweight, approximately 20lbs for my body as I am 5'8'. Now that I've spilled all my beans...I hope that helops find a correct homeopath for me.

Please answer these as well:
Are you an extrovert and outgoing sort of person or are you an introvert ?
What is your response to sympathy or consolation , do you like it when you are having a tough time ?
Are you a excitable person by nature ?

I woudl say I am an etrovert as I like to go places, do things and be around people. I often make plans for others to come togeter but then at times I want to be alone at home without anyone around to bother me. But more outgoing, especially around people.
What is your response to sympathy or consolation , do you like it when you are having a tough time ?
No, I hate when I am having a tough time and my days become very long and tiresome. I cry a lot and do whatever is the quickest solution to get out of any issues that are occuring. I react or think immediately how to stop the tough time or avoid it at all costs until it clears.
Are you a excitable person by nature ?
Exciteable? I would say yes. Do not fully know what you mean but when other ppl are excited, I become excited but it does not take much to make me energetic and want to do things as long as I am not in the mood I have been telling you about.
Thank you for your time. It is greatly appreciated. I apologize I did not respond sooner as I did not receive notification about your return post.

Okay then please take 3 doses of Phosphorus 30C equally spaced for 1 single day only.
This is how u take the doses.
Dissolve 2 pellets of Phosphorus 30c in a 250 ml plain spring water bottle.
Take a cap full from this bottle 3 times in a day at a gap of two hours. This is to be done for 1 day only i.e. a total of 3 doses. No drinking/eating for 45 mins on either side of each dose.
Let me know in 5 days after this.

This has been a full day two now and although I have less desire to binge and have eaten less when I binged and do not desire to expunge my food right away, I still hve been binge eating, especially sweets like ice cream or even sweetened cranberries. I did get a full nights rest, not waking at all, the first night on the phosporus which is very rare but last night I was back to the same schedule again. I feel the homeopathic has slightly worked but not completely and my body is beginning to crave more sweet foods.

Excellent !
Now we need to go to a higher potency of Phosphorus.
And that will be a 30C or even 200X will do.
Please dissolve 2 pellets in a bottle as before and take a cap full from this bottle 3 times in a day at a gap of two hours. This is to be done for 1 day only i.e. a total of 3 doses. No drinking/eating for 45 mins on either side of each dose.

Do you mean do the same thing as last time? I have already bought 30X and was unable to find 30C or 200X. Can 30X work or must I find it? I can go to one other store today but do not know if they will have it for sure. Will this also help the sweet craving and help stop the desire to binge?
emyeil last decade
Yes, it will help with all your problems including desire to binge.
30X will not do, we need a higher potency, which will be a 30c or a 200x.
If you are in the US, you can get Phosphorus 30c at Whole Foods or other health food stores like Henry's etc.
Otherwise you can order the Phosphorus 30C online.

And, yes the the method of dosing is same as before ,
i.e. 'dissolve 2 pellets of Phosphorus 30C (or 200x) in a bottle as before and take a cap full from this bottle 3 times in a day at a gap of two hours. This is to be done for 1 day only i.e. a total of 3 doses. No drinking/eating for 45 mins on either side of each dose.

If this comes back, should I repeat the process?

Excellent !
You should not repeat at all right now. When nature has the matter in its hands we keep ours tied behind our backs. :)
Okay, update me in 1 week from now.
And, please do keep in touch atleast once a week because the repetition and dosage is very important after hitting the correct remedy. By the way, which potency did you take ? I suppose a 30c ?
You're welcome !

Yes, I took 30c. I have lost 7 lbs but then a day ago ate more than I should have and wanted to throw up. It is like the phosphorus helps to crave my binge eating but if I do eat too much, I still want to vomit. Yesterday I felt a bit down and wanted to eat a lot and then threw up at the end of the night.

That's okay , the remedy is working now. No more remedy for next 1 week.
In the meanwhile, please procure Phosphorus 200c . You will need to buy it online.
Update me in 1 week from now. Hopefully by that time , you will have the Phos. 200c with you as well. Do not take it till I tell you to.
