News of Binge Eating Disorder Forum

hi
I have an eating disorder. Most of the time I am obsessed with food. Its horrible. I crave. I do not have a shut off valve. I could eat and eat. And then eat some more. I live alone. So I can control what comes into my home. Otherwise I would be way out of control. And believe me, I have spent many years that way.

I also have spent many years starving. That ...

I think I have an eating disorder. I feel as if I have nothing to live for and food is the only thing that brings me joy. I have gained 30 lbs in the last 2 years and cannot stop eating large amounts of food. What can I do to help myself stop living to eat?

I'm 24 now and have had bad eating habits all my life, always been overweight. I grew up eating pre-packaged everything and not really any rules about what or when I could eat. I've done a lot of short lived diets throughout my life but last summer was my first successful one. I started running and counting calories. I lost over 40 pounds and then it all went to crap. I had been having a ...

I've been binge eating for the last year and a half now on and off. Recently it's been even more out of control and I feel like every time I try to get help or just talk about it, I'm shrugged off like I don't really have a problem. (although to be fair I haven't told anyone close to me all the details of my thoughts and behavior) But it's controlling my life so much. ...

Hey forum,

Today is day 1 of no more binge eating. I felt good this morning but now it's the evening and I'm starting to feel the withdrawal symptoms. I started low carbing today.

I no longer have a choice but just to do it. My type 2 diabetes is out of control. I checked my blood glucose late last night and it was 398. At that level, some diabetics end up in the ICU ...

Hi, I am 21 year old senior in college living with BED.

A little backstory -
it all started when my father decided to project his own eating issues onto my sister an I. He was overweight in high school, anerexic in college, and to this day obsesses about food. He made sure food was a privilege. Friday nights were pizza night, and fear/sadness/temper tantrums were fixed with ice cream.

My mother had an addiction ...

I'm a male and highly suspect I have Borderline Personality. Often times when I'm really sad or lonely I will literally go out and buy a medium pizza, eat it all to myself, go to McDonald's, get a BigMac combo, and just continue to eat a lot. I don't suspect that it is a form of self-hate, but emotionally it helps me. Eating feels good and I cannot understand why.

I put in a long post which is not showing - not sure if it is in moderation or just didnt post for some reason. Anyway, the short version is I am a 52 y o woman who recently started binging and purging again (I had done it sporadically as a teen) as a result of being plunged into a very stressful family situation where I have no support or emotional relief. I have been ...

Hi, I am new here and sought out your forum because I am feeling trapped in my current binge-purge behavior.

Background. I am 52. I was heavy ever since 2nd grade and severely obese for a lot of my adult life. In the past ten years I have slowly, and with many revisions to my eating, managed to lose *Edit*. I did so through low carbing, regular exercise, and most recently, giving up most dairy ...
