News of Binge Eating Disorder Forum

You dont think it will ever happen to you, do you?

I was a restricting type anorexic at age 12, until early July 2008. I began to grow stronger, gain weight and started living again.

All too soon things changed as I realised that after 6 months of my eating habits being somewhat "normal". I am now struggling to control my eating habits and my weight is creeping above what is considered normal for my ...

Hello to everyone!
I just wanted to say hi and get a bit of what I am feeling out in the open.
I am Rachel, I'm 27 and I have had binge eating disorder for about 16 years, since the age of 11. I noticed I was gaining weight in puberty, but my mum, who has always suffered from compulsive overeating, told me I was getting 'fat like her', and it all took off from ...

Hi everyone,

I am brand new to the community. It's great to know I'm not the only one with this problem. I've had BED and ED-NOS since elementary school and am now 23 years old. I have never been very overweight which is miraculous because I eat wild amounts of food.

I've been in therapy but can't afford it right now. I am also living in South America so it's out of the question.

Anyway, ...

Hi, I just signed up for the forum and I want to write a short history of my eating habits just to get it off my chest.

I was always an overweight child but that wasn't due to binging, just overeating because i was given too much home cooking ! When I was about 13 I became more conscious of my weight as i had started secondary school and so I went on a diet ...
