How is binge eating disorder treated?

Q. Well, I'm starting to notice that I show signs of binge eating disorder.
My eating issues before totally backfired In my face. I went from amazing self control to out of control. I binge up to 5 times a week going to 3000 calories or more. I've gained 8 pounds in the last 3 months. I'm so scared. It just makes me wanna die. I'm so ashamed and disgusted with myself.
What is treatment for binge eating disorder like?

A. You shouldn't feel ashamed or disgusted. You're just going through a rough time right now. It's great that you realize what you're doing and looking for a way to stop. You're on the right track, so try to feel good about that.

The first thing you need to think about is WHY this keeps happening. What's going on in your life that is causing you to binge? Usually it's either stress/emotional eating or that you're not getting enough food on a daily basis/restricting yourself too much. Or, maybe you have another reason. Here's a couple things you can do to figure out how to stop:

-Create a binge journal. Next time you want to binge, write down how you're feeling and why you are feeling the need to eat excessive amounts of food. You may spot a pattern if you're feeling sad or stressed or mad each time you want to binge.
-Get the foods you like to binge on out of the house. Don't buy it in the first place. Most people don't binge on vegetables, so get rid of the junk.
-Make sure you're getting enough calories, including some treats every once in awhile. If you're restricting yourself too much, it's normal to overeat to make up for what your body is missing.
-Think about talking to a professional. There are therapists who specialize in binge eating disorder (BED) and they would really be able to help you figure out how to stop. Do some research on Google.

I wish you the best of luck!

How can I get myself into an inpatient treatment center for eating disorders without insurance?
Q. I have an eating disorder (binge eating disorder) and need to go into an inpatient rehab treatment center. Problem is I don't have any insurance or money. Does anyone know of any programs that offer financial aid or any treatment facilities that take people on with out insurance and if so under what circumstances do they? Basically, I have no money and need help! I am aware of the benefits of therapy, counseling, and 12steps groups and am involved in all three. But I need inpatient care at this point.

A. Ultimately, the best thing you can do is call up each center and discuss your options. While it's less likely they'll waive the costs of care, getting a loan may be on the table- you can also pursue state-funded forms of insurance and see if you qualify for any.

How can i get help for Binge Eating Disorder?
Q. I believe i have recently developed Binge Eating Disorder. And i've tried telling my dad but he just thinks im stupid and there is no such thing as BED. I know i need help but does anyone know any treatment of BED? i've gained 30lbs in over 2 monthes.

A. You don't need a doctor trust me
I use to binge constantly and if your like me it's because either your trying a restricted diet or your just bored. DIETS DON'T WORK they make you binge in the end because, your body needs essential vitamins in certain foods. All you have to do is buy healthy foods !!! and eat only when your stomach growls! if your stomach does not growl you do not eat. After awhile you will start to lose weight and you metabolism will get faster.
Your not alone! you can do this trust me!
