News of Binge Eating Disorder Forum

For the past couple weeks, I've been trying this treatment that I read about in a book. I've always been turned off by the Overeaters Anonymous methods, so I thought I'd give this one a shot. Basically, it has five or six stages that you work through, mostly geared around recording what and how you eat, when you binge and when/if you purge. After a while, you start a routine of eating-- breakfast, lunch, dinner ...

I first started with BED when I was 13 years old and I am now 27.

I really have no idea how it started? I have no recollection of what changed in my life, but all I know is that as a very bright young child my life hit a downward spiral and I have struggled ever since.

I read other stories about people who say they binge when they are sad or PMS or ...

Hello everyone. I was recommended by my therapist to find a place like this some time ago, and since nothing has really gotten better, it's probably long overdue.

Well, where to begin? I'm an 18 year old gay male preparing to enter university in the fall. I've had problems with binge eating since I was a very young child and still to this day am struggling against it.

Even before I turned 3 I was ...

Sometimes I wonder if my binge eating is a reaction to the strict controls I try and put on my diet a lot of the time. It seems like I'm either bingeing or starving myself. I remember when I used to eat pieces of lettuce with squirts of zero calorie spray butter-- and call that a snack. And then a week later I'd be bingeing on Chinese takeout.

Has anyone tried lifting these strict food ...

This is my first time posting, and I really want to make a change. I'm too ashamed to tell my friends/family exactly what is going on with me-- I binge eat at least once a week (often more, especially when stressed).

I'm looking for support from people who have gone through or are going through the same up and down battle of binge eating.

I've been doing this for a least a few years-- going ...

Hi Everyone,

I'm new here. 24 yr old young professional. I am having a huge issue with binge eating. Whereas I know I've always had issues with food (wanting more), I think I've really hit the fan in the past couple of weeks.

A little over a month ago I had a tonsillectomy, so I couldn't eat a thing for about 2 weeks...not even ice cream and it tends to be my favorite.

I've been ...

I managed to go 3 weeks without binging or purging and then I just broke out the last 4 days (binging only) and now I feel so terrible. Today I told myself that I'm gonna start eating healthy again and so far I've succeeded but I just feel so depressed because I probably gained so much weight from those 4 days. I'm scared to look at the scale. How can I stop relapses from ever ...

A few years ago, I was diagnosed with Compulsive Overeating. I didn't tell the person who diagnosed me the whole truth. I also had anorexic and bulimic tendencies. I would stop eating for weeks at a time after binges. And it all started with not eating to lose weight, and then I'd get stressed or angry and binge. I later abused laxatives, or tried to exercise it out of me. I had a big year ...
