Q. Hello all: tonight i felt bored and i had like 1500 worth of pancake, figbars and a small piece of cake. And then i took some laxatives and milk of magnesia to burn all those extra calories. My question is, how many laxatives should i take after a big pig out of 2000 calories? I am planing to have another big pancake of 2000 calories on March 11. I will have a big pancake of 2000 calories every 11 of every month to kill boredom and depression.
A. Um............why don't you just cut down on the pancakes and NOT take a bunch of laxatives. It's not good for you at all.
Why are you planning to binge eat on certain days of the month??

I used to have anorexia, now I think I have binge eating disorder?
Q. I am 5'6 and about three years ago I was 95 lbs. Now I am about 170 lbs. Well the problem is that I wake up in the middle of the night and binge eat. Like anything sugary; cake, cookies, etc. On average I could eat about an entire fruit cake in one night which is over 1500 calories. Most people eat about that much in one day! I don't know what to do. I cannot stop myself. I just HAVE to have it. What should I do? What is going on here?
A. Awww Hun, I know what you're going through. I really do. Binging after starvation is your body's way of getting out of that shock from eating to little. Your body is trying to store up fat for the next time it's deprived of food. Try eating a very healthy diet, with lots of vegetables, 100% whole grains, and fruits. Lots of protein! When you're in a binging mode, think about how it's effecting your weight and go and binge on fruit. Drinking coffee kills my hunger, you should try that! Just make sure to eat between 1,200-1,500 calories daily so your body can get out shock mode. Answer mine? (:

A. Ok.. here are some things to think about for your project.
From a clinical point of view, eating disorders are about strategy. If you are going in the direction of how eating disorders work, allude to the fact you will be investigating the strategy employed by the person with the ED. How do they do what they do?
From my clinical experience as a therapist dealing with EDs, note where the emotions take place in the strategy. Example:
With Anorexia
Person enters negative state -> feels guilt (important bit)-> refuses food -> exits negative state
With Bulimia
Person enters negative state -> binges -> feels guilt (important bit) -> purges or over exercises -> exits negative state
The person with Anorexia feels the guilt of eating before taking a bite - so they refuse the food.
The person with Bulimia feels the guilt after eating - so they purge it or burn it off.
Also look at the underlying problems with the eating disorders. Anorexia tends to be "tribal" in that the underlying problem is very often with someone in the family (pay particular attention to the relationship between the parents and the subject) or a very close friend causing the problem.
With Bulimia, it tends to be something more varied and external, often unconnected with the family unit.
Hope this helps...
