News of Binge Eating Disorder Forum

Hi,

I'm a teen girl, new to this forum. I've been struggling with eating disorders for the past two years..it went from a "minor" (I was never severely underweight) case of anorexia which lasted about six months, into binge eating disorder, which I've been struggling with for the past year and a half or so. I'm subjected to a fair amount of stress and nothing to take it out on, since I'm from a large, ...

Hey, everyone! I'm Kitty, I'm new to the forums, and I have Binge Eating Disorder. I am also Manic Depressive, OCD, and have General and Social Anxiety. (Fun mix, eh? And yes, I have been diagnosed by my doctors.)

I have always been afraid to talk to anyone about my eating disorder. I didn't even tell my parents about it; they found out when they sat in for an unrelated doctor's appointment and the doc ...

Hi everyone

I'm 22 and have had an eating disorder for almost my whole life. I'm struggling with binge eating disorder. I know we aren't supposed to talk about weight too much, but to give everyone an idea, I weigh my heaviest right now, and am about 80 lbs overweight. I'm aware of my problem, aware of my trigger, but like most of you, I can't stop the urge when the need to binge arises. ...

It starts with a darkness deep inside
Looking for distractions I try to hide
But it creeps and crawls inside my head
Until control hangs by a thread

A feeling inside I know so well
An emptiness that will not dispel
Like a creature staving for its pray
It takes bites from my soul every day

And so to the fridge I go
To commit my body to death that's slow
Forcing food, it's like ...

Hi all,

I've been dealing with BED for all my life, and recently just started actively seeking treatment for it. It's gotten to the point where I'm severely concerned about doing permanent damage to my body -- I'll go for weeks being "good" then have a "bad" week and my weight and esteem are showing for it.

I'm 27 years old, female, and on paper have everything in the world. I'm very bright and ambitious, ...

My wife obviously has some sort of eating disorder but I'm at a loss to self-diagnose it accurately.

Every now and then, she eats so much food that she becomes physically uncomfortable. Three times within the last two months, she has thrown up due to having overeaten. This is NOT happening by choice - she is not purging. Every time she eats this much, she regrets having done so. However, she claims that she does ...

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site, just signed up. The reason I'm here is because it's time to come clean not only with myself but any other human being that will listen, I'm a chronic binge eater. This all started for me about 4-5 years ago when I first began dieting as a 15 year old. I'd never ever been overweight, and I'm still within the healthy range for a 5'3 1/2 female at ...

Hi everyone! :)

Really refreshing to find this forum!

In a nutshell - I have been an emotional eater my whole life (and a binger for 10 years - am 27 now)! Food has always been a coping mechanism and form of expression for me - I eat when I'm happy to celebrate, I eat when I'm sad to cheer myself up, I eat when I'm tired ...

I have struggled with binge-eating for many years now, and it is the cause of many of my problems. Recently I decided I wanted to try and finally DO something about it, and that is when I found this forum.

I have read a lot of these threads along with other sites and there is so much for me to work on, and I truly feel like it's helping. So THANK YOU!

I know that ...

Last year I was diagnosed with bulimia but this year I developed binge eating disorder and in 4 months I've gained *removed by mod* kg. I can't believe it! I just can't stop eating and everything just seems so hopeless. Every single day I'm binging and I feel so full, sick and sad afterwards. I don't have any self-control, I can't say stop to myself. I don't go to school anymore, I'm not together with ...
