News of Binge Eating Disorder Forum

Hello

We are making a documentary for the BBC on psychology and what society considers ‘normal’. I would love to speak to any bodybuilders (male or female) who feel that they work out excessively, or former bodybuilders who found that their exercise regimes were becoming problematic. Or are you just starting out as a bodybuilder? We are also looking for teenage/youth bodybuilders. We have no agenda to prove and this is not a sensationalist programme. ...

Instead of eating fatty,high calorie foods,i eat fruits...lots of fruits.For example i've just eaten 2 apples and 6 oranges.Is this still considered a binge eating?

This way i got nearly 500 calories per binge instead of thousands.And i still have 3 meals a day.(Although i don't eat very much.)

Well I've never done this before.

Hello, my name is Mel, I'm 17 and a secret binge eater. This wasn't my original purpose for comming here, but well, I've been watching this section and I've finally got up the nerve to post.

I've never really dealt with, or talked about my problem. In fact I've only accepted it fairly recently. I do have a friend that has come to know about my issue, but well ...

Hi...trying to figure out where to begin...

First of all, I haven't been officially diagnosed, I just know I have a real problem. I know I have some type of ED I just don't know what. I pulled up info on BED, Bulimia, and Compulsive Overeating and I meet the description of BED more than anything. Can't say Bulimia because I don't purge, however I do fast regularly after a binge and that is one ...

I remember as a young kid eating all the time but I was active so I was always very thin. At age 11 life became difficult so I started making myself throw up so I could stay home from school. This lead to on and off again Bulemia until I was 18, and very VERY infrequently until I was 24. I am now 28 and have had no instance of Bulemia, but have become obese ...

I am new to this forum. This is my first post.
I am a terrible binge eater and just recently even realized this is a disorder.
I don't know where to start to help myself.
Everyday I wake up so positive, so motivated. Then I lose control and binge. The worst part is, I plan my binges. My worst enemy is stopping at convenience stores and buying little debbie snacks. I am so embarrassed when ...

I am new to this forum, looking for suggestions on helping my very bright/creative almost-10-year-old daughter....based on my reading, it seems as though she may have a binge eating disorder. She eats large amounts of food very quickly, stuffing her cheeks, can't seem to exercise any control. Then after having eaten more than two adults at the table, she will sneak back to the kitchen and eat large amounts of food straight out of the ...

I feel a little silly asking because I don’t really eat too much. What I do is order too much or cook too much and I know it before I do it. I am afraid of not having enough food for the meal I think. I do this over and over again. My wife seems to think it is because I went through a starvation period when I was younger. I am tempted to agree ...

I've suffered from eatting issues for 8 years now... Through high school and college, and even now that I'm an "adult" in the working world... I was very overweight as a child, and then lost a lot of weight when I started middle school. With all the positive feedback, I did not like it when I started to gain a little bit back when I was in high school. Instead of dieting, I starved myself, ...
