News of Binge Eating Disorder Forum

Hi All,

I am new to the forum and just looking for a solid community to share my troubles. I was diagnosed about 12 months ago with Binge Eating Disorder and each day seems to be a massive struggle...

*Trigger warning for abuse with regards to food and diet!*

I wasn't sure exactly where to post this?
I have a bad relationship with food, but I don't know if it's bad enough to be called an ED and I'm scared to talk to a doctor about it, what with all the stuff that's already on the table.

My mother would tell me how fat I was as I was growing up, pretty constantly, and ...

It started off like this-

I was working out/on a diet, lost a considerable amount of weight. Then when I was transitioning into more "normal" eating, I started overeating some things to the point that it hurt. It ended up only going on for about 2 weeks, but one week in I decided to call someone to try to get help.

I talked to a counseler and a nutritionist. The nutritionist told me that my ...

I have been in other recovery from alcohol, cigarettes and now food. But from what I was told the food issue was first. When I drank or smoked(at least for awhile) it kept me from over eating. Now that I have given that up now I have this issue which has been really hard. I have a lap band but it doesn't work because it's more emotional for me and I didn't eat that fast. ...

I have been put on new meds recently, and they have caused weight gain. Seroquel was the worst. My pdoc took me off and then put me back on to manage my bipolar. The lithium has also caused weight gain.

I'm now in an intensive treatment program for bipolar and bpd. They have put me on more meds to help stabilize me, but I have gained a lot of weight. This has triggered my bingeing ...

I've always had a problem with being hungry. When I was really little I bugged my parents for food all the time, woke my mom up at 3am for "breakfast" (when I was still a baby, about 1.5, I somehow managed to get into the refrigerator, Mom says she found me stuffing wee baby handfuls of cherry tomatoes into my mouth and giggling hysterically), but once I got to be 5-ish and started realizing what ...

I've always had an issue with food, to an extent. I was bulimic in high school, mixed with months of anorexia, and this followed me into adulthood. It turned into binging with periods of not eating at all. I got sober 2 years ago, and since then, I basically can't control the binges, especially during times that I theoretically would be drinking (at night, when stressed, etc). It's like my mouth is getting pleasure, and ...

They should use this drug to combat binging and binging and purging. I've been a binge and sometimes purger since high school. This drug completely took that desire away. Anyone else tried it?

Hello! I'm a binge eater. It has caused a lot of depression, self-esteem, clothing, energy, and other issues. This is the fattest I have ever been, I have never had this little energy, and I need a change but am struggling with making it on my own. I am looking forward to trying a support forum as a way to power through this and become a healthier, happier person.

Looking forward to meeting you!

I've suffered with binge eating and overeating behaviours for nearly 10 years now. It's finally gotten to the point where I feel out of control and do not know how to be around food.
Every time I think about eating I get upset, supermarkets, restaurants, eating in public are all impossible tasks. But then... when I've gotten so stressed, this can be over unrelated things, gotten so upset, gotten to the peak of where I ...
