Q. I have a problem with binge eating. I love to eat and i do it way to much. I always over eat a lot. Sometimes around 4,000-6,000 calories a day. Do you have any tips to stop?
A. sounds like you might have an eating disorder (yes, binge eating is an eating disorder too)
i would recommend therapy, i have had eating disorders pretty much all my life (im 19) and therapy has really helped me.
I have recently been bulimic and the therapy for that has actually helped me to reduce my binges to about once a month - and before i was doing it pretty much everyday!
So lucky me, my bulimia is now in remission. Too bad i still have something like EDNOS... but for you it sounds like therapy can help is my point.

How does a eating disorder (binge eating) psychologist help to quit my bad eating habit?
Q. So I have 9 sessions total with my psychologist for night time binge eating disorder -that I wake up in the middle of the night and start eating a lot fast thats the reason I got denied for gastric bypass surgery or lap band as well.
will the psychologist be able to really cure* or treat* my binge eating disorder successfully? if so, how can he/she just by talking to me?
the total cost for therapy will be around $1600

A. The reason you do this is psychological, since there is no need to do it and you obviously know it is harmful. Many people have success but some do not. It is not a guarantee though.
Will I ever be able to control my binge eating?
Q. I've been struggling with bulimia for 3 years now and my weight has been going up and down for a while. I am really trying to lose weight now in a healthy way (exercising and eating healthy) but I still have really bad urges to binge eat all of the time. The few days I haven't given in and fought against the cravings. So my question is will the urges to binge go away over time if i stop giving into them?
A. most important thing is to do this naturally..without medicines, chemicals, "starving" your self etc.
first, it would be best for you to eat as healthy as possible..this will also help you considerably to lose weight gradually and naturally..
eat fresh fruits, vegetables, drink plenty of WATER..avoid all cokes, caffeines, smoking, alchohol etc. as these also add weight as well as they contain chemicals which disturb your natural bio rythmns as well as brain chemistry. try not to eat too much meat, and the meat you should eat should be "lean meat" such as steamed chicken and rice, or steamed fish with rice..and vegetables,, this should be your staple diet rice and vegetables with fruits..AVOID "JUNK FOOD" and "Fast Food" as this type of food is very unhealthy, lacking in vitamins really and has plenty of fattening molecules which make one gain weight and is not good .
if you snack,, try fruits with yogurt or fruit yogurt and nuts.. nuts are very healthy for your body .and contain proteins.
go for walks every evening or morning or whenever you get time each day for 1 hour or 2 hours..make this somewhere you enjoy walking even if you have to drive a bit to there..and make this a daily routine..you will enjoy it once you get into it ..and it makes you feel great after..just walking for 1 hour or 2 hours.
if you do this..every day for one month ..you should lose at least 10 pounds per month until you get to your natural healthy weight..dont know what your height is,,but look up on the internet what your weight for your height should be ..and when you get to this weight,,your body will look very nice and you will feel very good.
10 pounds each month in 6 months you should lose 60 pounds..for sure...but no junk food and dont drink alcohol or smoke, dont eat junk..just healthy food with vitamins and walking 1 hour or 2 hours every day..and drink plenty of water..this is guaranteed way to lose weight naturally and for good, if you stick to this, which you should,,as it makes you feel so much more positive due to the vitamins and lack of chemicals making you feel depressed...
btw, forgot to mention,,just in case you dont know how to really make healthy meals..buy a "food steamer" at your local deparment store..they are very cheap and work very well..as well as buy a "rice cooker" which is also very cheap..eating rice is a great way to get your necessary carbs "healthy carbs" to lose weight and has lots of natural energy inside. you can buy asian rice at most large supermarkets or if you have a local oriental market..they sale quality asian rice.. thai or indian rice is good "jasmine rice".. buy corn or canola oil to sprinkle on vegetables or rice before steaming to add to taste as well as you can buy several nice spices like "cumin" or "Curry powders", etc.just sprinkle on the vegetables before steaming to give nice taste.
drink "Green Tea" as this is very healthy and helps burn weight faster...you can buy quality green tea at most oriental shops or large supermarkets as well.
good luck
