News of Binge Eating Disorder Forum

This is my first post on this forum, so Hello! I've been trying to find support in other parts of the internet but I thoguth that a specialized forum would help more... so here goes nothing.

I've accepted the fact that I have a binge eating disorder only a couple of months ago. How? I found out there was a name for it... binging has been a constant thing on my life, specially during puberty. ...

It started Monday night/Tuesday. I haven't been counting calories but I know I have eaten at least 3000 calories each day. I am 3kg up the scale and I am afraid that weight is there to stay. I feel hopeless and any time my stomach doesn't feel horrendously full, I'd put one thing in my mouth, then another and another until I have eaten a whole day's worth of food.

Please help, I don't know ...

That's what my mother used to say to me when I was a teenager. She was right! Now I am very old and she's still right. Between then and now I have lost and gained fat with awful regularity. To prove my point I'm munching cashew nuts as I type. I'm not sure which is the more important, my health or my self respect. I have never really looked at my gluttony from any other ...

Every hour of every day I think about food. There's a constant nagging voice in the back of my head that practically screams "EAT". I am overwhelmed by my desires. The only thing that gets me through the school day is my Vyvanse. Without my medication, I can easily eat a good 3,000 calories over what I burn. I don't just binge during certain periods of time, I binge EVERY time I eat (without medication) ...

Hi, I am new to posting on forums. I'm a teenage male with severe anxiety and depression, I would say I have binge eating dissorder but I've never been professionally diagnosed. All I know is that when I become severely depressed and stuff I lose all bodily controll and it happens... I apologize for my awkwardness at the moment as for this is also my first post. I have gone through stuff that I would ...

I have had on and off trouble for 10 years with binge eating, heavy restricting, and excessive exercising. The past year I think my troubles with food have improved as I haven't had a serious binge in probably over a year now. I try to be less harsh on myself and remind myself of all the great things I've learnt from trying to overcome this problem. However, it is impossible for me to regulate when ...

FIrst of all, thanks to the universe for this oportunity to comunicate with people who struggle with this 'thing' 'condition' 'problem'... and who is willing to support each other and heal themselves also.
So, thanks to all, ure brave, ure facing it, ure reaching out for help and trying to make things better.

Today I have this thought, maybe it can help you if you resonate with it:
Excessive control. Everything started with excessive control. ...

I have BED and everytime I try to recover I end up starving myself and then taking another nose dive back down to bingeing? I want to eat healthy but my anxiety takes everything to the extremes. When I try to limit calories I get so horrified of bingeing that Ill try to stay as low as possible so Im not tempted. How do I finally take the right path?

Maybe it's just me, but I tend to glamorise past binges in my head. Weirdly enough sometimes when I'm lying in bed trying to go to sleep, I look back on them as fond memories. :?

Is it though? I would say the first couple of moments when I'm hungry, that I actually enjoy and take pleasure from a binge. I think my brain likes to forget ...

Hi everyone.

My first day as a member on the forum- (please be gentle!)

Bit of background... I'm 26 years old, working in London and for the last eight years I have gone through a spectrum of eating disorders. I guess the pivotal stages were- anorexia at 18, bulimia at 20 (when I was at university) and over the recent couple of years- binge eating disorder.

I've tried and failed at many attempts to ditch ...
