Been having problems with food for a while.

I could use to cover it up by exercising and being active. Then I got injured and couldn't exercise.

Then I couldn't wear my old clothes, then I couldn't wear the clothes I replaced my original clothes with.

I eat before every meal I share with someone else.

I only buy 1 days groceries so I don't over eat.

Sometimes busy hands, idle mouths works for me.

My weight is causing major health problems.

I have no idea how to deal with an eating disorder.

I'm telling my doctor on myself finally at my next doc appt.

Was told my some weight loss places that if I have another mental health issue like bipolar that their program isn't for me and to see my doc about maybe medifast or something.

Ack! Help!

Hi...I binge eat when feeling certain emotions and have a daily struggle with food. It's not fun. I have just bought a smaller plate to control food portions but the urge to binge is sometimes too much and it causes me great anxiety when I don't give in. Saying that, I feel good about myself when I haven't given in.

Sorry I have no advice for you as I am in the same boat and struggle myself. Not currently receiving any help for it but aim to tackle it when I start therapy again.

Me too, NF ... Me too.

Don't know how helpful I can be, but here's a ...

And, a reminder about how important it is for us to be patient, gentle & kind with ourselves.

Hi NF (love the username BTW!)

Have you considered seeing a therapist (T) to help you deal with this? I see a T for Bulimia/Anorexia, but actually getting to the root cause of it has helped my ED to become much less 'active'.

Good luck with your doctors appointment

Hi, I'm new here, too. I've been in denial most of my life, but the time has come to confront my overeating issues.

I don't really binge. I just consistently eat too much. I overeat because of boredom, stress and emotions that I haven't found a healthy way to cope with. And the overeating has caused me to be obese. I haven't developed any other health problems yet, but I know it's only a matter of time.

I hope your doctor can help you find some answers.

I recently learned I have binge eating disorder... for almost 20 yrs! yikes! you can imagine all the pounds I have lost and then regained. It's overwhelming and depressing.

I have seen my therapist twice in the last 2 mos for this. She gave me a very lengthy 2-page questionnaire to fill out in the midst of a *binge*. Well, I put it off for about a week. It just seemed so lengthy. Then one day I was very aware of my feelings and had that strong *urge* to binge. So I grabbed the paper work and the next 25 minutes I answered these questions. Of course, all mental/emotional. It stopped me from having a binge, but I did feel anxiety while writing my answers down. I have only done it once, but I know this is what I have to do in order to help myself. It's just very, very hard for me to concentrate.

Anyway, I know how you feel and understand your frustration. It's miserable when you eat too much...and then you just keep eating. Ugh. Good luck at the Dr's and let us know how it goes!
