Q. I've been binge eating for about a week now. I feel really sick and uncomfortable, yet I still do it everyday. Can anyone with experience in this matter please give me some guidance? I want to fix this before I get a really serious problem and become obese.
Thanks

A. Manage stress, if you have any.
*Much like exercising, relaxation in the body tends to relieve stress and anxiety. Forms of body relaxation include yoga, bodywork (massage therapy), breathing exercises, tai chi and aroma therapy.
Get medication.
*Antidepressants can help reduce the sad feelings and anxiety that often trigger a binge and appetite suppressants may help in reducing the frequency of binges.
Self-help.
*This can be done through buying a self-help video or book, by calling a hotline for those with eating disorders or by joining a program in which anyone with binge eating disorder can come to support and encourage others.
Exercising.
*Exercise is beneficial to almost any treatment plan as it relieves stress. For those with binge eating disorder, regular fitness can reduce binge eating episodes because stress is a common trigger for binge eating.
Hope this helps!! :))

How to overcome binge eating disorder?
Q. I have been struggling with binge eating disorder for about 6 years now. I was always a healthy, active, skinny kid. But the summer before 7th grade I started struggling with extreme depression, so I would starve all day and binge all night. I gained a good amount of weight over the summer. Throughout the years my weight has increased more and more. I must have a pretty good metabolism because although I have been overweight for these 6 years, I should be morbidly obese from the way I eat. I consume about 3,000-4,000 calories a day, and double that at parties, special events, and going out. I am 5'4 and 140-150 pounds. While that's not terribly huge, it's still overweight and eventually my metabolism will slow down, so if I keep eating the way I do I'll probably be more around 300 pounds. The best way for me to justify my problem is that I can eat a normal amount throughout the day to keep me satisfied, but once night hits, I'm ravenous. I want to eat everything. I get insane cravings the later it is at night. I've tried going to bed earlier, but I can't sleep due to the intense cravings. I also have serious problems with portion control. If I let myself have a small amount of something, I realize how good it is and give in, and end up eating the entire thing. But if I don't have it at all, I can't stop thinking about it and usually end up eating it anyway or eating something else unhealthy in a huge proportion. I'll be 18 in a few days and I wanna put this silly disorder behind me. I wanna be more mature with food. I have never made myself puke. I have starved myself before though, but it always backfires on me because I find myself so much more hungry. Advice?
A. You aren't alone, every binge eater has almost an identical story. My mom was one for 45 years of her life but recently created a simple solution that will prove to yourself that you can overcome the craziness of binge eating without intense dieting or anything, you can even eat foods you enjoy. She's a certified food psychology coach. Every single client my mom speaks to is successful; not one person has done this strategy and has let food control their life. I can't recommend my mom's program enough, not because she's my mom, but because it's the only program that works since she has been through the binge eating craziness her whole life and understands it more than anyone. She has a website and a video that will give you a feel for what it's all about. I am serious when I say that your life will be changed if you speak to her. Please do it for yourself - nothing else is as effective. She speaks to her clients every day to support them and hold their hand through the process. Hope you give it a shot, you won't regret it.

Q. i always start and then stop alot of it is depression when i do stop i lay around and watch tv to distract from my problems also when im really blue i binge eat. please help im desperate i dont want to end up overweight like alot of my relatives and im heading there thanks for the advice
A. I find workout out as a release of stress in some way. I pop up in my i-pod and I get "me" time, where nothing else matters but me and my workout. Having his approach is very therapeutic. Now working out is always tough but afterwards, you get a sense of satisfaction. This is the approach you need to get into.
