binge eating eating disorder

Is anyone familiar with binge eating disorder? I have been struggling with what I believe is binge eating disorder. It has gotten out of control and I am at a loss as to how to stop it. I have gained a horrible amount of weight and am miserable. I just want to regain control and able to cope in a healthy way...

ve been struggling with medical therapies as well as binge eating disorder but I also shuffle to bed after anorexia. I'm 16 and I'm afraid this is just the beginning.

I'm a 55 Y/O female who has been binge eating for about 20 years. I've been to every kind of therapy, even went to a psychiatrist who specializes in eating disorders, gave me an RX ( don't remember the name) I've gained and lost 50LBS 3 times, this time I gained 60LBS and can't loose the last 25. I can't control my eating no matter what I do. I've also been to OA and I didn't like it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I also recommend watching the binge eating disorder video on YouTube from the channel breelovesbeauty .... I suffered from bed and these things helped me a lot.

I feel like since my main problem is now binging, that I cant have an eating disorder because binge eating disorder is not ok for me to have. I feel like I would be a failure if I was diagnosed as that. I dont think she will stop eating junk food and food always seems to be around when we hang out. any ideas for any activity we could do that is "food free"? isnt there sugar in almost everything? I would love to be able to just eat a little and then stop.

Hi there. Well, are you truly concerned? I only ask because you put in a LOL at the very end. I think that pregnancy hormones can trigger chemicals in the brain and the overeating and craving of massive sweets that you binge on until you throw up could be related to that, similar to an eating disorder. Ha, I've never heard of a pregnancy induced eating disorder though. But people with an eating disorder often have that same lack of Impulse control.

They are about more than just food. Whatever was going on underneath that was fueling your eating disorder is still there. You might want to consider some support in the form of counseling from a therapist experienced with eating disorders. OA is also a good source of support and learning and working the steps with a sponsor. It's hard to do this alone.

m glad you posted here. Unfortunately binge eating and anorexia are like different sides of the same coin. You have an eating disorder. The good news is you CAN become a "normal teenage girl" and get recovery from your eating disorder. The problem though is it's not something that can be achieved easily with "tips" or "tricks". Eating disorders are complicated and have many causes.

you have classic symptoms of binge eating disorder. people with this disorder often have anxiety and depression. antidepressants when I took them made me so hyper that it made me binge. then I would take anxiety meds. none of this helped my problem. my doctor made me slowly get off all. I was more depressed and anxious. worth it in hindsight. put on topamax .25mg. at night. it makes you sleepy and tingly. a life saver.

It is not uncommon to be depressed, not eat for periods of time and then go for binge eating. However, the feeling of wanting death points towards a higher level of depression. You need to consult a psychiatrist who specializes in eating disorders. Also depression would need to be treated side by side. Please consult your parents, maybe your school or college therapist and some else whom you can trust and who can talk to your parents. Please try and see a therapist as soon as possible.

It seems to me like you're developing a sub type eating disorder. You have days where you don't eat or you binge and take a couple laxatives, those are all symptoms of an eating disorder. You think about food all the time because you're brain is starving. Also, it is possible that your body is used to the couple laxatives and it needs more to flush your system out. I don't know what your relationship with your parents is but I would start by maybe talking to them.

I've always suffered from binge eating. 3 months ago I tried Meridia, and it was wonderful. I do not like to take medicines...therefore I stopped taking Meridia, but sometimes I take one for a few days when I believe I'm eating too much....but as soon as i stop taking it, I go back to the same old habits. Do you know of something similar that I can take w/o the same side effects...

Often binge eating is an emotional thing, we find confort in food. You hear people talk about their "comfort foods" these are things they eat when upset or sad. The Paxil IS helping you and this is why you no longer have to eat to feel better....good for you! One thing to help lose the weight is to eat every 3-4 hours, healthy snacks. Fresh fruit, handful of nuts, yogurt, chicken, vegetables, and exercise. Eating every few hours keeps your metabolism at it's peak.

Try taking a 15 minute brisk walk before eating, then again about 30 minutes after eating. 5. Journal everything! What food you bought, what you drank, ate, did for exercise. By doing this, maybe you can see when youre most likely to binge eat. I'm telling you, it isn't easy... but it is doable. Track everything, journal it. If you have to have a snack, eat the healthiest, low carb thing available.

Binge eating after dinner please help I always do really well then after dinner I blow it and I know ive gotta get rid of this problem to loose the weight I want.

i just dread getting on the scale. I guess i kinda have an eating disorder, ill make myself puke if i feel like ive eaten too much or binge and purge sometimes. Ive been doing it for about 6 years, this is my second pregnany, i did it pretty much the.whole time with my first ive managed to keep it under control pretty good this time (ive made myself puke 3 times after i felt i ate to much) and normally id do it every other day.

from what I notice about my eating disorder is that my eating disorder will make me binge at a certain point so that eventually I won't ever eat again and I'll be sooooo pissed off at food that I'll end up starving myself again. Trust me...this isn't you it's your eating disorder. Try to fight against it and don't get like me. I went from 270 pounds to 70 pounds.

I'm a 56 y/o female who has had a problem with binge eating since I was about 30. I can gain 20 lbs in a month no problem. Sometimes I can't stop eating, and when I'm too full to eat anymore, I can't wait to digest so I can eat more. I've been to psychiatrist's that specialize in eating disorders, OA, read every book I could find, went to counseling for years and years, and have been on every diet there is.

Weight requirements are used in diagnosing anorexia, but not bulimia, binge eating disorder or other eating disorders. You may want to visit the bella vita website and take our free online eating disorder survey. And while you are there read about bulimia and eating disorder NOS. Wishing you a wonderful 2013!

Individuals with purging disorders often are normal or near normal weight. Currently, purging disorder is under Eating Disorder NOS (Not Otherwise Specified) in the DSM-IV TR diagnostic manuel for psychiatric disorders. To learn more about other eating disorders, visit the bella vita website.

My advice is to find a nutritionist and talk to them about it.

Since 5th grade I've been bulimic, anorexic, and a huge binge eater, among other things. I tried to commit suicide in 5th partly because I was overweight (I honestly was). In 6th I was just a binge eater and gained weight, self mutilitating more than I did before. 6th summer I began to restrict again and exercised. I lost weight- but of course not enough. 7th I exercised and binged because I was happy with my weight so I felt like eating was ok....plus it numbed my feelings.

It can lead to binge eating and weight gain. It is an eating disorder and needs to be corrected. I will advise you to lose or gain weight in an ideal way through proper diet and exercise. Best wishes!

recurrent episodes of binge eating in the absence of the regular use of inappropriate compensatory behaviours characteristic of Bulimia Nervosa. http://www.eatingdisorders.org.nz/index.php?id=836 http://www.addictions.net/id273.html#.UZRkE0pYTAk http://en.wikipedia.
