I have suffered from binge eating all my life, I'm 41 now, it's been going on at , least since I was 12, possibly longer. I have enough daily triggers and have had success and failures dealing with it. I am trying to regroup and get past this latest cycle. Went to the Dr this week and he actually looked at me and goes have you just tried to stop the eating? He surely didn't understand, single I don't purge, and I don't starve myself, I must just over eat and have no self control. He, like most people I know, have no idea that if I could stop the binge eating, I would. Unsure how I really feel today.
