Is anyone a binge eater? If so can you tell me what your habits are?
How long you've been doing it and when did you realize you had a problem.

Thanks.

It depends on what you mean.

I think of what I do as binging, but I'm not sure if it is technically binging, but it would class as more than other people would eat in the same time period (I think )

Basically I will eat those big chocolate bars (250g), uslally at night when I'm in bed, even if I'm not hungry. If not the full bar, then half of it. Or sometimes I'll eat half the bar during the day and the rest at night. Or sometimes a full bar in the day and a full bar at night

It's definitely made me pile on weight (28lb heavier ) ... I can't wait until I get the self-control together to actually stop this and start restricting again

I've been gone at a conference - I put on 10 pounds in less than a week. Basically eating massive portions at restaurants on someone else's dime.

i have been binge eater bulimic and anorexic anything you want to know just shout.

Well Im a little mix of bulimic and annorexic, but what I do is eat next to nothing, and anything bigger in proportions, I throw up. However, the past few months it has been more along the lines of not eating completely to absolute indulging of everything i see then throwing it up in a matter of minutes. I knew i had a problem the first night i threw up my dinner a couple years back.

I binge then I don't eat for at least 24 hours. The next day I eat lightly until I binge again. I've been doing this for 30 years. I started because my Dad would make insulting remarks whenever I ate because I was putting on weight. I started not eating around him and hoarding food in my bedroom. If he was around I would hide it in my shirt or pants to get it past him. I would then dispose of any evidence. I've had my gallblader removed and I take a stomach pill as needed. I only need it after I binge.

I guess it depends on how you define "binge" because i eat much more than i would normally eat in one sitting...but still remain below 1000 or so calories so...does it count as a binge? lately i've been doing this just about every day...restrict all day long then binge at night (ugh dumb move huh?). well that's my 2 cents anyways.

I've been emotionally upset since my session with T on Saturday. (see my post in psychotherapy) I haven't eaten except a bowl of cereral on Saturday morning. I wonder how long I can go? I'm so self destructive.

I started binging again. I knew I shouldn't start again but did because of touchy emotional relationships. I told myself I did not want to kick in other people's bounderies. I also hear voices and if I eat, I can't hear them so much. I just couldn't stop myself from eating though.

I have been binging for a week and half. I have been using laxitives also. I can't take this habit. I even started to take a respite some other way (can't say for privacy reason cause someone reads this which ..) so anyway. I am actually doing much better with the respite. I have to in extreme matters choose the lesser vice. (a mild drug taken) so anyway. Appetite has been genetic in my family where three first generation relatives have weighted three-hundred and more pounds very very easily. I can say that stopping eating is almost impossible. I only stop because I know I will die.

Ohhhhh ... this is so hard on your system... I am attempting recovery... From bulimic and binge w/o purge.. if you want info just let me know...
