Q. I'm a 14 year old girl, 5'6" and 130 lbs. I gained 15 lbs cause I can't stop binge eating and I look so disgusting and idk what to do but I need to stop or I'm gonna have health problems but idk what to do.
A. First of all, for your height and weight you are not at all fat and do not look disgusting. That is sad that you would think that. All you need to do is exercise 30-45 minutes per day, every day. Talk a walk, a bike ride, etc.
What happens to a guy when a girl breaks up with him?
Q. Like if a guy does it for a girl, she'll be depressed and binge eating and stays at home.. BLAH BLAH BLAH!
But what happens to a guy? I'm curious.. Whether he likes her or not.. Please, answer for both!<3
Will he want her more, or just accept it and be happy about it?

How do you recover when no one knows you have a problem?
Q. I am convinced that I having binge eating disorder. Last year I went to guidance and she called my mom. When I got home my mom told me that I looked fine and that I don't have an eating disorder. She sometimes says that I eat too much though. I'm tired of living my life knowing that I depend on food to deal with my depression and stress.
I bought a book called Lighten Up at my school book fair and so far I'm eating about 1,500 - 3,000 calories a day. I exercise for about 90 minutes to rid of the weight I don't want to gain. My legs are sore and they are very toned.
Please give me advice on how to recover without professional help since no one seems to know I have an eating problem since I'm average weight for my height.

A. Many people deal with stress in different ways. Some people deal with it by drinking too much, some deal with it by using drugs, and some people find comfort in eating large quantities of food, just for the lovely taste of it. It IS comforting. But dangerous. You alone know you have a binge eating disorder or not. Try doing what I do. I totally stopped drinking soda. I only drink coffee, fruit juice, and water. But I eat things like turkey, chicken (not fried) fish. If I HAVE to have some chocolate, instead of buying a pint of Haagen Dazs, which is my favorite, I buy a large dark chocolate bar instead (love dark chocolate). I permit myself one little square or two a day. And if I eat more, I don't beat myself up over it because it will just make the program I've set for myself worthless. Be kind to yourself. You should be eating around 1,500 calories a day, 3,000 calories is a LOT. That's excellent that you are exercising for over 90 minutes daily and you know it's working because you can FEEL it! Good job. This sounds cheesy but I would get a simple notebook, and whenever you feel the urge to eat too much try writing about your true underlying feelings - ask yourself why you're doing this to yourself? Be kind to yourself, don't beat yourself up over this. Many many girls and women have this compulsion to binge eat and you CAN beat it without professional help. The most important thing to remember is to be completely truthful to yourself, in your journal. Find out what is causing you to turn to food when you're dealing with depression and stress. Also, there is a good anti depressant out there called Prozac- one of the first SSRI'S- and it totally cuts your appetite. I felt happier, and lost weight at the same time. You'd need to see a physician to get a script for it though. Maybe even seeing a simple therapist who deals with binge eating could help? Good luck to you. And writing about this really will help you. I've done it!
