You are not alone. Personally, I do not binge without purging, but binge-eating disorder is actually the most common of all eating disorders. Are you still in therapy of any kind? What about OA? Do you still go? Are you able to identify why you binge? It's not about the food you know? There is something deeper going on. Have you thought about that much?
Yes, purging disorder is defined as someone who eats a normal meal or small amount of foods and purge (vomiting, diuretics, laxatives or enemas) the food. They do not binge. Bingeing is defined as eating large quantity of foods in a short period of time to the point of being stuffed. Individuals with purging disorders often are normal or near normal weight.
However, most have consequences for their binge purging behavior. The good news is the body is wise and resilient. Ceasing the binge purging behavior is vital to help heal and reverse the damage. In order to take the necessary and responsible steps for your own body and needs, I would advise you to see an eating disorder medical specialist in your area. This step will give you the accurate concerns and treatment direction for you.
Those with Bulimia are typically ashamed of their eating problems and thus attempt to conceal their symptoms. Binge eating usually occurs in secrecy and episodes may not be planned in advance. Binge eating often continues until the individual is uncomfortably, or even painfully, full and these episodes are often triggered by dysphoric (i.e.
For the past month I have been throwing up after breakfast and dinner. On purpose. It has become a habit and I can't stop, I am losing weight but I have never eaten large amounts like binge eating. I eat so I can't be anorexic and I don't binge eat so I can't be bulimic. Is this a disorder?
Dear EDM21,
From your history, it does sound like you have had an eating disorder for sometime. Without a full evaluation, I cannot determine if you are bulimic or eating disorder nos. Visit the bella vita website. Take our eating disorder survey. Read our extensive description on bulimia and see if it fits you.
Best,

Take a deep breath. Only you can change your eating habits, therefore changing your weight, if it does happen to be something you'd like to change. If you try to eat more raw vegetables/fruit, at least 1/3 of your daily food coming from raw fruits and veggies, you will see an enormous improvement. Every time you want to binge, its okay, just eat an apple and some celery first, that way you can't binge as much, and try to keep your binges healthy.
Check out a previous article of mine about tips on eating healthy for those recovering from an eating disorder. Once you start eating again, without purging, you may experience some bloating and discomfort. I listed some foods that may help with this process. As always, my disclaimer is: I am not a medical professional. I speak from experience and what I found worked for me. I post these tips and suggestions as guidelines only.
I think it is fairly common to transition into binge eating. It doesn't sound like you're purging yet so thats good. this same thing happened to me. I was anorexic for about a yr and once I started binging and purging, that lasted about 5 yrs. Try to change these behaviors before you start purging because it sounds like you're on your way to that and I can tell you that bulimia causes serious long-term damage. At least you admit that you're at a healthy weight.

I was looking up on the internet and believe that I have purging disorder - where I do not need to binge to purge, i purge almost whenever I eat something I feel will make a significant difference. Still not sure if this is what I have, but it sounds the most like me.
I have gone through stages of eating very little to nothing also.
I am desperately scared of gaining weight, and am currently trying to lose it.
Hello, I'm 18 years old and within the past month I have been eating large amounts of food and then making myself throw it all up. About a year ago was the first time i started this behaviour which carried on for about 4 months, but i managed to stop and eat healthy and exercise. Now i am back at university which has brought a lot of stress and less time to exercise and so i've started again. Also in the week that has just been, i have been skipping meals.
binge eating or purging is never a good thing to do...once or twice a month doesn't qualify as bulimia however you are setting your self up with some bad habits that could lead to it down the road... do you find your self doing it more when you get stressed or if someone makes a comment about your weight???
... As i stated before i cannot stop the purging.. for i feel sick if i do and end up throwing up regardless... i do not binge so that is not an issue.. i am rarely ever hungry anymore so i do realize i am starving myself involuntarily now.. everyone around me is oblivious to my dillema. I do not want them to know... honestly im not sure i want to stop my dietary habits. how do i find out what is wrong with me ...
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.
If it's something you can't help yourself with, you definitely should see someone professional to talk to about it. And you're right, your baby needs all the nutrients it can get, make sure you're taking a prenatal as well as eating. Really, if you're eating right, exercising, the scale is only going up because of baby weight.
His death is understandably creating much sorrow and grief for you and your mother. Losses can often trigger eating disorders. Your binge purging behavior is your way of managing your pain. I encourage you to get some professional help to process your grief and address your bulimia.
The good news for your teeth is that you have not been binge purging for a long period. The best thing you can do to stop enamel erosion is to cease the binge purging behavior.
I have had an ED since I was 13. Started out, I would say as anorexia, then went into bulimia when I heard about the idea of getting to eat and not gain weight if you throw it up. The bulimia started as normal eating, if not enough eating and throwing up. I have done everything to hide it including throwing up in bags and hiding it so that there would be no evidence in the bathroom. Sounds gross!
