News of Binge Eating Disorder Forum

There was a time I had serious weight problems. Now I am ok, but when I was that weight, now that I can properly reflect, it was pretty bad, and i didn't look good. I still have photos on social media that are public, and I am reminded of my ignorance and lack of respect for myself.

Hello everyone. I recently realized that walking two blocks, going to the store and buying/eating huge quantities of food at 2am is probably an eating disorder. That and the fact that I can't stop it once it's started. I did it last night and I still feel gross.
I'm trying to figure out where to start . I've even be happy to cut it down to once very few months or something.
Any advice will ...

I don't know where to start except that I think I hsve a problem but I dont know where it fits or if its bad enough to mean I need help. Since I was around 11 I was being sexually abused & blackmailed. I was also very anxious all the time of bad things happening bc of their threats & thats when I first started to punish myself through eating. If I had git in ...

I'm worried about how much I'm eating. It is a bad habit of mine but it is happening due to me staying at home and not having much to do and feeling restless. I want to go out to work full time but I'm not sure if my energy levels will allow it. I want to find a job which is flexible so if I have to cut down hours I can and I just ...

Forgive me if this is old information, but I think it's worth mentioning (if someone hasn't already) that we should carefully examine any meds we're taking that may be influencing our impulsivity. Especially any meds that have anything to do with dopamine. I take Bupropion and Pramipexole (just switched to Ropinirole today actually) and I think both of those are having some influence on my impulsivity to some extent.

The Bupropion may be exacerbating my ...

Hello. I am new to the board. I was recently diagnosed with binge eating disorder, so I am fairly new to what most people experience with it. But what my problem is, is a complete fear of starvation. If something happens that I am in a place where I cant get enough food, or dont have time to eat, I binge later to make up for it. I dont binge out of boredom, or to ...

I’ve read through the symptoms of bing eating I’ve never been diagnosed as It’s probably not predominant issue but I feel like it fits at what point does it cross boundaries and becomes a disorder? Like for instance anorexia and Bulimia the symptoms seem to be very severe and obvious to anyone who sees the behavior as a disorder, is bing eating the same way or is it more of a hidden disorder that is ...

Ever since the lockdowns happened, we only have so much to do, and most of us had the tendency to turn to binge eating which made us gain weight.

How do you control binge eating? Or do you guys lean more toward eating healthy? Do you do some exercises?

I despise myself for binging again.
It has put me in so much pain. My head really hurts so much from this.
I truly want to stop this and never binge again but I don’t seem to be able to.
This disorder is ruining my life and my body and I can’t seem to stop it.
I am scared and I need help
Binging is such a horrific experience and it really does take over ...
