Q. I suffer from anxiety and depression and I some times deal with it by binge eating. I see a psychiatrist and I also take medication. I have been binge eating for about two years. How do i stop before it makes me fat. I currently weigh 108 at 5'3. Is there a cure for binge eatting. I really want to stop
A. Hey Tanise
I don't think it takes a doctor to explain that the root of the problem is not the binge eating, it is trying to get to the root of what makes you anxious and depressed, and sometimes that is not always as easy as we may think as our minds are probably the most complex machines earth, and as you talk about the things that potentially induce these feelings it may trigger a light bulb moment that enables you to recognise exactly what it is. However rather than going on an unrealistic quest to resolve your issue in the shortest possible time, just let the life come to you, and the answers will come along with it, just be honest with 'yourself' and don't worry about failing, worry about not succeeding.
I hope you are able to get to a place that you are comfortable with.
Take care and i wish you luck, as there is someone quite lose to me who has a relative circumstance to yours, and the love and support of your friends and family are key also.

How do i overcome binge eating before i gain too much weight?
Q. I am fifteen and have been on a strict but healthy diet for the last six months or so. I reached a healthy weight that i was happy with and have managed to maintain it for a few months however, for the last few weeks i have recurrently been binge eating and i can't seem to control myself- how can i get my health back on track before i gain back all the weight and my binge eating gets even more out of control?
A. I have been having almost the same problem, I went vegan and began running doing yoga and kickboxing and lost about 50lbs. I think it may be because i deprived myself of things i loved like chocolate, and snack foods like chips and i hardly ate any fat. Try to keep cut up fruits and fill yourself up with that. Its worth a try im trying that starting today. I have been struggling with binge eating for months and i gained 14 lbs in one week. I eat until i am uncomfortably full and almost in pain. Its so ridiculous but hard to control. Let me know if u make any progress, good luck and ur not alone in ur struggle
i have a binge eating disorder and cant get professional help because my parents want me to get fatter?
Q. im at a healthy weight, but i cant stop binge eating, i can binge eat up to an excess pound a day. i don't wanna get fatter anymore and i hate myself and my body now. its like im a genderless blob. i cant even go get professional help because if i told my parents they would just be glad that i am and don't want me to stop. how can i stop?
A. Here is the secret for success for the rest of your life in the weight area dear..."eat as much as you DESIRE of healthy foods". Healthy foods include the primary food groups "dairy, protein, carbs, and fat. Now there are many ways to skin a cat and unhealthy foods are foods loaded with the wrong types of fats carbs and dairy.
-BAD AND GOOD TYPES OF FAT
The Worst are TRANS FATS, and the second worst is SATURATED fat. They are bad for you because your body has a hard time metabolizing them with your enzymes that break down fat and they can clog up your arteries and give you disease like stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes and so on down the road "even if you are skinny". Saturated fats tend to reside in foods that are solid nature like butter and cheese. Trans fats are man made and are the worst which reside in crappy packaged food like chips. YOU NEED FAT SO DON'T get rid of it your brain needs fat to operate if you don't get enough fat your brain will deteriorate making you basically stupid. 20% of your calories you eat in a day should come from fat.
-The best kinds of fat are polyunsaturated the BEST and monounsaturated the second best. Both of these fats are usually in a LIQUID form and come from plants. Avocado is a great example of good unsaturated fats which of course is a plant or plant fat. The next thing you can do is get "olive oil" which is awesome for you and dip your bread in it "they do this at Italian restaurants"-way better for you than butter-cow fat.
-GOOD CARBS OR BAD
The worst kind of carbohydrates which are basically the same as sugars are ENRICHED FLOUR crap. Enriched flour again comes from man made bull. The best kinds of cars are simply wheat or cracked wheat. Instead of eating white bread get wheat. Over time you will get used to wheat bread and love it and it is great for you. P.S. High fructose is horrible for you, if you want sugar use cinnamon or honey when you can.
-GOOD PROTEIN
Protein is protein is protein but a lot of kinds of protein like beef have saturated fat in them i.e. solid fat which again is hard for your enzymes to break down. If you don't like meat you can get protein from SOY like soy meat and soy milk. If you want to eat animals and mind you I am no vegetarian go for FISH. FISH is what keeps Asian people so healthy is has protein and is great for you as well. Also black beans and beans have protein too which is a healthy source. Eggs are also a reasonably healthy source to eat now and then though they aren't as healthy as soy.
-DAIRY
Again soy milk is way better for you than cows milk but if you like regular milk switch skim milk which avoids the saturated fats.
-FRUITS AND VEGGIES
Of course fruits are awesome just make sure you spend the little bit of extra money and get "organic fruits and VEGGIES since they aren't made with harmful pesticides and genetically engineered crap which is actually being shown to cause CANCER.
-OTHER FOOD STUFF
Try to cook at home if you can or eat out at healthy places. Avoid pop which is basically liquid candy and avoid stuff that comes out of a box and is industrialized. BUY ORGANIC. stay away from junk food except on SPECIAL OCCASIONS i.e. don't be crazy, if it is someone's birthday have a piece of cake. It would be nuts to be like ohh! well sorry folks I know it's my friends birthday here but I can't eat that cake it has some saturated fat in it.
-IMPLEMENTING IT
You are what you eat literally. Your body is made up of the foods you have eaten in like the last 3 months or so. If you eat nothing you will be nothing and neither will your personality or brain you will feel like crap. If you eat a bunch of trans fats guess what? You will be made up of a bunch of fat your body can't use well and clogs your arteries. Have a no fail environment which means especially in your home you DON'T HAVE UNHEALTHY STUFF AROUND LIKE CHIPS TO TEMPT YOU. You can't eat what's not there, and it's really hard to start binge eating on super buttery popcorn if there simply isn't any to eat you know?
-SET POINT AND REASONABLE EATING
The most important thing I will tell you on here is to EAT HEALTHY because you want to FEEL GOOD...NOT because you want to try and get real thin by eating less calories to lose weight. It has been shown time and time again that people in an environment of almost unlimited food GRAVITATE toward a "set point body weight" when they aren't dieting or thinking about how much they eat. Think about it, all the fat kids at school and all the skinny ones eat all the same crap. Some skinny people eat a lot some skinny people don't, some fat people eat a lot, some don't. The point is that your body adjusts metabolism and hunger based on if you are on your set point or not. When you dip bellow your set point the "hypothalamus of your brain says omg! what's wrong I am not at my set point, I will increase his appetite when he starts ea
