Anyone with Binge eating disorder help?

Question

How did you guys overcome it?
I feel like im spiraling down again and i cant live with the idea i possibly couldnt get a comfort food at some point so im constantly buying and eating like its my last day on Earth... the weight gain caugh up with me a while ago but now the mirror is too, im starting to see how terrible my body has gotten but i turn to food to feel better yet again.... i am so lost.

Answer

Binge eating is an eating disorder. Please please please seek the help of a qualified therapist. Ways to find a professional therapist:
1. Ask your doctor for a recommendation 
2. Ask friends and family for a recommendation 
3. Look up the psychological association for the state you live in and search their database
4. Call your health insurance company and ask which therapists are covered by your plan
Good luck!!!

Answer

So I don’t have any personal experience with binge eating necessarily but my cousin lost a lot of weight after she began working with a life coach and practicing a lot of mindfulness techniques. She’s now a coach herself although she focuses more on helping people with their businesses but there is a lot of ongoing research as to how mindfulness can help in almost all areas of your life. A coach can be expensive but if you can afford it it’s certainly worth it. If not, just finding someone else to go on a lifestyle transformation journey with you so you can hold each other accountable. Accountability is key! There are a lot of blogs that can help give you tips and techniques.

Answer

I would see a counselor.  I was bulimic in high school and college and once I overcame the bulimia, I still dealt with the binge eating for YEARS!  However, seeing a counselor helped me.  Oddly enough, being pregnant helped me overcome the binge eating.  While pregnant I could eat whatever I wanted... or at least the portions I wanted.  I couldn’t overeat because I’d get sick or feel horrible, so I just stopped binging and I haven’t binged in 5 years.  I still overeat on occasion, but not like before.  To me, talking to a counselor helped me get to the root of my issue and also, I joined weight watchers which helped me deal with portion control, but I could still eat what I wanted in moderation.  It’s a long process... good luck!
