Does anyone have or know anyone that has a binge eating disorder?
Not really... I did know a guy in high school who was bulimic he was still kinda thick then now he looks great! But that was only after he had therapy and overcame his bulimia it took him many years to accept his problem. We still talk occasionally he parties hard core - I clearly do not... And no he is not gay he is just self centered.
Not a binge eating disorder but I've been fighting anorexia for years.
Not only is it a rare eating disorder but also some people maybe afraid to admit it out of shame.

nobody?
I believe that I may have an eating disorder. I know that what I am doing is wrong, but it is like I am in a trance until I have completed my binge. I really don't know what to do to get help because I really don't want to admit to my family that I am so helpless. I try to be aware of what I am doing and I have tried to cut down the amount of food. I still cant' stop until I am done. I am not eating crazy amounts of food, just too much food in a small amount of time. It always happens when I am off for the day and alone. Every day off, I tell myself that today I wil not binge. I do well until lunch time and then when I eat my lunch, it turns into a binge. I am frustrated with myself for not stopping eating a normal amount of food. I really have lost my ability to know what is a normal size portion. In the evening while eating dinner with my family, I always have seconds even tho I really loaded up my first plate. I gained almost 20 lbs over the summer. Before the summer I was exercising at least 5 days a week, then I got out of the routine and my binging became worse. Now I am stuck in this rut of self sabotage. Everyday on my things to do list, I put make diet and exercise plan, read about binge disorder, but I always seem to do the other items on my list and never get around to helping myself. I will get this I am sure that there are all sort of reasons why I am doing this. I am sure that I have many issues to work on. For now I think I need to avoid being home alone and get back to exercising. I need to create new habits to replace the bad ones. Maybe some prayer and meditation will help with the personal issues I need to deal with. Well, thank you for listening!

oh hunnie i know how you feel i JUST recently got over over eating and emotional eating and just eating when i was alone, bored.
you NEED to talk to your family or at least one person about it - it will make you feel TONS better! you have no idea i told my s/o and he told me quit buying the shit food for the hosue and i did just that - it helped - but i woul still occasionally buy the shit food for the kids, just when i did that i bought myself a 100 calorie snack (they taste amazing!)
as for not working out and what not don't stress yourseelf work one day at atime one thing at a time - i don't work out b/c i am so worried that if i do i will go back to eating a lot! and that scares me b/c i know how difficult it was the first time!
i am w/the help ofmy s/o am going to work out when he gets home from work - he is going to be home to help monitor what i eat after i work out
and before you eat drink a glass of cold water (or an apple -actually heard that on here never tried it) and inbtwn meals chew gum - it does wonders!
