Q. More often than I'd like to admit, I start to binge eat. I'm not overweight, but I'm close to it and always have been. I just don't like the way the binge eating makes me feel, but I can't help but do it anyway. I mean, when I binge eat, I eat more than I've seen grown men eat. It's like my stomach is a bottomless pit. What would be the best way to prevent this?
A. I would suggest that make your portions smaller and when you are done eating do something to avert the temptation to eat more. Going for a walk would be good because you would be taking yourself away from anything in your kitchen that you would want to eat. :o)

A. I was a binge eater for years. I tried to be "skinny" for my boyfriends and seemed to always get the guys that wanted the skinny girl. I realized that I have curves and there ARE men that like them - finally!!!! I did some soul searching, and started to read about health and fitness...and started to eat the RIGHT fat burning foods. I stopped obsessing about my thighs and started to simply LIVE a healthy life. I do all kinds of cardio exercises and added weight training (a bit) to help me burn fat all around the clock - even when I sleep! That's what weight training does. Being a female and doing weights does NOT mean you will get bulky. We simply get toned and lean and strong. I eat junk food - for fun - only once in a while...but the MAJORITY of the time...I eat the best and healthiest fat burning foods to help me along with staying in shape and yes...I still have curves, but they're strong now! Binge eating is usually caused by unhappiness...and finding out and dealing with what you're unhappy about is what you need to do FIRST. Make some changes...get happy and you probably won't binge eat. Don't let other people control your happiness. I married a man that prefers a very thin model-like figure...but after getting strong, fit and healthy and showing that I love myself...with more confidence...he sees a healthy attractive woman! I eat for me now...and that means whatever amount I feel is best for me as well. It took YEARS to get over this binge type of eating...but I found that with regular exercise and eating well...and ACCEPTING my physical shape...I am happier and don't want to binge eat any more. It starts from within. My life has changed dramatically and for the better. But I had to do the work myself. No one else could do it for me. If it were that easy, no one would be binge eating. Finding out WHY you're unhappy is the first step...and take it from there. Never give up on yourself. You CAN do it! I did...and I was the woman eating in the closet...believe me! I ended up doing three figure competitions. It IS possible! Just DO IT!..I have had 5 children by c-sections, and now I walk with my teenagers and people think I'm one of them (from far of course)! If I can stop binge eating...anyone can!
How to overcome binge eating disorder?
Q. I am putting on weight fast. I have binge eating disorder. I need to do something about it. I am by no means fat, but I am so unhealthy and so unhappy with my body. I eat all the time, and I can not bring myself to stop. I really need help. It sounds like a joke, not a serious problem, but it is a big problem and it takes over my life. I plan on eating good all day and it never happens. I say I will work out but never do. Where do I begin??? Help me please
A. Binge eating is not about simple dieting. You need to address the source of your anxious or depressed state of mind. Without working through these issues, binge eating will keep coming back. They can be family relational issues or trauma etc. and also work on your eating habits. You need professional help and guidance. It is nearly impossible to overcome on your own. please look into eating disorder centers and get yourself assessed. They will recommend an appropriate treatment and therapy for you. The great thing is that it is curable. But get help as soon as you get. Longer you wait, it will be harder to treat. Insurances also cover eating disorders. Don't be afraid and don't be ashamed! It is NOT your fault!! And you are worth it!
