binge eating in young children

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.

Do you do any physical exercise? I always find it hardest to stay off binge-amounts of food when I'm not going to the gym regularly. You'd think burning up a load of calories would make me eat more, but for some reason it kick-starts my willpower over food again.

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.

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.

Is anyone out there a binge eater that would like to get into contact to help recovery? I've had eating disorders for the past 10 years...anorexia, bulimia, recovered on my own for a bit, but now after starting a career and having more stress in my life, I'm not normal anymore. I binge. I went on topamax for a bit and this helped but didn't like the weird side effects and I know I can't rely on drugs my whole life. I'm 26 and just want to be normal with food.

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...

Now, it is not a miracle, but it simply lets the voice of no, come out and then allows you to actually listen to it and reason with yourself a little more. Again, sometimes you will still fall prey to the eating voice and go off track, but in my expereince, you have less of that and more successful days. Good luck.

I have been binge eating for the past several months. It is getting out of hand, I am embarassed to talk to my doctor about it or anyone else for that matter. What is causing this disorder, I am not sure of. It could be a number of things, so to pinpoint the core would be very hard. When no one is around, I overeat. Whether it be chips, pretzels, popcorn, or chocolate. I will eat it. There are weeks where I will be craving a particular food and I will go out and buy it everyday.

I have oesteosporosis and I binge eat. Binge eating has never been a problem in the past because I have always been very thin and never gained weight, until now. For years my weight has been between 102 & 106. I'm 5'3". Over the past few years I have gained 15 lbs. and it keeps adding on. I can't believe that at my age , this is a huge problem for me.

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...

The best thing to do is not have junk food in the house, if you can't stop with eating a single portion. Replace the chips, cookies, etc with fresh cut up veggies, such as carrots, celery, radishes, broccoli, or cauliflower. You'll get the same crunch, but you'll get nutrition instead of the fat and empty calories. If you need the salt, sprinkle on just a tad of sea salt to add a bit of flavor.

I think I thought I grew out of it finally. Since I have been off my pills in the last few months I hve started binge eating again. This last week was the worst. It is now uncontrollable.....NON STOP. I have gained 20 pounds in the 5 months or so. Up the weigt goes every week. This week alone is 8 pounds. I am desperate to stop. I want the old me back aND not be obsessed with eating. I cant go out, I dont answer my phone and will soon lose my job due to this.

Also, please consult a psychologist dealing with eating disorders. Controlling this eating disorder along with exercise, and eating right and treating any medical problem that you may have can help you lose weight effectively. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history.

How old is your son? Are these baby teeth or adult teeth? I wouldn't pull any adult teeth unless absolutely necessary. Yes, the wisdom teeth could potentially fill in that space but there are complications with that. As the wisdom teeth come in, they don't move sideways into the space but rather, they tilt in and lean in sideways which causes problems with the jaw bone.

every day I give in to some kind of unhealthy eating binge. my problem is that when I open a pack of biscuits, chocolates or anything the like, I can't stop until I've finished eating the entire pack ... that can be anything between 500 - 1000 calories. after that I feel so guilty. and yet it happens all the time. You ladies experienced the same? what do you do in such situations?

Going for a period of time without food followed by a big binge results in big swings in blood sugar, which can cause dizziness. You already know this method of eating isn't good for you, so do you have any kind of a plan to adopt better eating habits? If you truly feel like it's going to be impossible to change on your own, please consider seeing a psychologist who specializes in eating disorders. And NO! You AREN'T crazy!

cause when I hang with one of my best friends who I always have a great time with seems to be one of the situations in which I binge the most. She doesnt worry about eating healthy so we always end up buying junk food and I feel like I just cant say no. And once I start eating even if it is just one piece of candy, my brain goes into "binge mood" and by the end of the day my stomach is usually sick from all the food I have eaten and I feel like the biggest failure ever.

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.

If you occasionally heavily binge drink(once a month or less) and this has temporary effects such as increased heart rate during drinking, muscle aches and mild stomach irritation for the next few days, is this likely to have long term effects? Also, does passive smoking from other peoples cigarettes on nights out cause any long term damage?

once you figure out what to do re the pain in your groin and your sleep disruption, the binge will stop. There are probably options you have not completely explored...

I hate to say it, but sometimes as parents we are inconvenienced. Such as having to wake up at 5 am to feed our children. This would solve your issue.

Does anyone have any good tips on how to stop binge eating? I often find myself hiding snacks around the house and when I eat, I eat everything I possibly can and I feel sick afterwards. Thanks a bunch!

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.
