Thanks guys. It does help to know I'm not alone. It's just that so many people - even professionals - don't consider this a "real" eating disorder. Heck, I was just looking in my mini-handbook of the DSM-IV (yes, I bought it...i'm weird!) and it only lists Anorexia, Bulimia, and then "Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified". It doesn't even list ANYTHING about binging without purging or other compensating behaviors (laxatives, etc.)

I just wish I could control it somehow.

Well . . . actually . . . . Binging without purging and the use of weight control behaviors like laxative use is defined as "Eating Disorder NOS."
