I wish I could help. I don't have the binge thing going on. I simply eat to function, and am not doing it very well. I don't know if I am anorexic. I do know I can't eat unless emotionally I am ok. Even then, I find that I sometimes can't because of self-esteem issues. Often I find that I cry. Generally because I find that my behavior is causing distress in others or because if I - don't - eat, I won't be able to function. I need to function. idk...it's an odd thing...eating disorders. Some experience sparks it, and it takes on a life of it's own. But it is a psychological issue. Something ...some event, or series, or string of events begin it. It mutates into a thing which has a life of it's own within ones life. Something which seems ...beside you. An entity which functions seperately from the -will- . Somewhat as cutting becomes, or has become for me. It becomes a need...a coping mechanism, and even [in my case something I have coupled into some of my more base desires/functions]. Thus, anyone reading...I deeply advise you to never begin this behavior [any dysfunctional/coping behavior] if you can avoid it. I now have about 5 ...tendencies which have become needs. Each is addictive.

I do like Christina's assist. I have found that these dysfunctions are addictions, and weaning is a suitable measure often time. However, as with any addiction, one must - want- to alter the behavior more than keep it. There - is - an element of choice somewhere deep within a disorder, but....it is yet, not a simple thing. And most certainly requires work.
