News of Binge Eating Disorder Forum

Hello,
This is my first time posting. Sometimes I will eat a lot and then go into the bathroom and purge but it won't be a lot. I know I need to stop but is that even a real problem if I only am not able to make everything come back up? Is that normal?
I would appreciate anyone's feedback.
Thank you,
Amanda

It all started 8 months ago. I was always fat 249lbs at 5.7. I started a diet. Until July I have lost 66lbs. I was feeling good. Suddenly I have stopped loosing and I was paniced.
