Avatar f tn 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. What I would try to do is to not have so much on hand.
Avatar f tn My vision appears to be variable but it could be explained by living in what is essentially a building site. I have been feeling stressed and I have been binge eating. Emotionally I have been OK. Kind of. There have been events which have triggered me. (Family, finances, lack of support/ therapy, the doctor I saw in my GP's absence (I was told that my projections make him anxious and that he feels frustrated by his inability to help me.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Recently i suffered from anorexia nervosa with then developed into me binge eating which then ended in bulimia nervosa. I am aware of what is happening to me, but as it has happened in a short space of time (2years) i feel a little lost. I live in the UK and it is extremly hard to get help as docotors do not see me as underweight. But everyone knows that there is something wrong.
15291663 tn?1439655894 First you need to find what your triggers are to help you stop that behavior. Look at your patterns. Do you binge after a stressful work day, before events that make you nervous or when you are lonely or bored? Also, note if there is a particular type of food, such as bread, cheese or chocolate, that starts you bingeing. By identifying your triggers, you can avoid them or at least anticipate when you are likely to binge, so you can take action. Eliminate these foods from your home.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn What kind of physical consequences are there to binge eating. I had this for years, overeating really fast and way too much. In the recent past I got on a medication and stopped. But now I have bad acid reflux, what feels like a tear in my intestines and an ulcer in my stomach and a gallbladder that is going downhill. I never knew what it meant to be full because I would alot of times eat past that.
Avatar f tn If trying to do too much makes us tired and emotionally upset, then we need to be less ambitious and learn to delegate responsibility. Compulsive overeating or emotional bingeing indicates that we are not living in a way, which satisfies our basic needs.

Avatar f tn I'm very new to all of this, so bare with me. For about a year now, I have been binge eating when I am stressed. At the time, I don't even think about the negative affects it has on me, but afterwords, I feel so overweight and I begin to hate myself for doing it.
1641906 tn?1301131090 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.
612101 tn?1220772860 I have suffered from binge eating since I was 20 yrs old. I am now 36. For the last 15 yrs I have been on many many anti depressants, diets, diet pills etc. I have had pretty much binge free the last 2 years while I was on Effexor and Wellbutrin. I came into money problems and had to taper off them. I had totally forgot about my eating disoder....well....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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn I'm 52 years old and have been dealing with periods of rapid weight gain (anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks) for nearly 4 years. My worst are 16 pounds in 3.5 days and 12 pounds in 2 days. Stress probably is a factor, although cortisol tests have been coming back normal. I'm spending thousands of dollars and so much time with doctors and tests; finding a doctor with an open mind and didn't believe that I was "cheating on the side" took a lot of time and money.
1315373 tn?1274193185 I dont quiet know but I have been sleeping lots like 14 hours a day and eating lots those are signs of depression ????
1341830 tn?1276119609 I've been a binge eater since about second or third grade. Right now I'm gonna turn 30 November and I have two kids under the age of 4. I am 5'3 and weigh about 245 pounds. I can exercise but it's my binge eating that has me worried. I really feel like I cannot control it. If I do try to control myself and not eat...I can't stop thinking about it. I'll think about it till I can't take it anymore and I'll give in and eat. My eating habbits absolutely horrify me.
614508 tn?1265281722 I'm 46 yrs old, 5 ft 6in & weigh 190 lbs. During my teens and 20's, I was involved heavily in dance (jazz, tap, ballet, musical theatre) and developed anorexia. I did not weigh over 100 until I was 25 years old. During my 30's & 40's I started binging & purging...stopping only during my 2 pregnancies. Now I am in the routine of not eating all day (except for coffee & water) and binge at night (10pm onwards) consuming huge amounts of calories.
Avatar f tn I discovered I had anorexia in 6th grade. I didn't eat much until this year, I am now in 8th grade. I still have worries but it never stops me from eating healthily. But now I think im overeating. I have a little theory though. In 6th and 7th grade the first time of the day I would eat is when I got home. I'd then eat lots of junk food. Now in 8th grade I eat even more because I don't set up caloric limits.
Avatar n tn I started anorexia recovery 6 days ago. I'm 15 years old, female, 5"3-5"4, sedentary, only exercise I get is going to school. Every since my first day of recovery, I have been binge eating really really bad. I binge on sweets, carbs, and some salty foods. I can't stop, it makes me so frustrated that I start crying and it really makes me want to relapse.
Avatar f tn When I drink even a moderate amount I do not binge and purge. Also, I always get the urge to binge and purge during the evening. I am thinking of going to a professional but I really want to do this by myself, I was wondering if this could be due to a chemical imbalance?? I have always had problems with depression as a child and was anorexic for sometime as an adolescent until I discovered bulimia.
Avatar f tn Every1 said great things!! Listen to Starry she has the right idea!!

(that was the week i had to stay at my parents and diet was shot) Lonely-Dont worry bout those lil things you are doing right keep your mind off the bill!! I so know the feeling I moved 3 months ago but the electric company took 4 ever setting us up and even shut us down for a week!!
Avatar f tn Not sure if this is bulimia or binge eating or what but I really would love someones help or advice. I can't stop bingeing and taking laxatives...lots of laxatives. I'm bingeing just now and so want to stop eating but it's taking me to write this as I just can't seem to get enough food. I just want to stop. I know I'm going to throw up tonight. I'm just so out of control. Not even sure if i'll post this. Too ashamed.
