Q. im at a healthy weight, but i cant stop binge eating, i can binge eat up to an excess pound a day. i don't wanna get fatter anymore and i hate myself and my body now. its like im a genderless blob. i cant even go get professional help because if i told my parents they would just be glad that i am and don't want me to stop. how can i stop?
A. Hun, you have a whole life to live. For the short hall, controlling every calorie the way you are may seem to make sense to you. But it won't work for any length of time. You could end up losing your teeth or worse, much worse. And then at the end of all that you are still in the same boat as when you started. Yes, I believe you should get counseling, but not for your parents, for you. When you go to counseling what is said there is kept between the counselor and yourself. And you can remind your parents about that as well.
I hope you make peace with yourself and with your body. I understand that you don't want to gain weight and yet you don't know how to stop yourself from overeating. I used to be bulimic myself. But instead of these dangerous shortcuts you, like everyone else, will have to learn to eat in a healthy way. You need to stop hating yourself and begin to accept yourself the way you are (even as you work at becoming who you want to be). Good luck!

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!

can binge eating until you feel sick increase your heart rate?
Q. i've been suffering from a bad pattern of binge eating that is most likely binge eating disorder or compulsive over eating disorder at this point. recently ive notice that whenever i binge my heart thuds when it beats, my heart rate increases, and i feel heavy limbed, sluggish and sometimes get a head ache. I am not overweight and am actually in very good shape and health except for this eating disorder. Are these typical short term responses to overeating? why are they happening?
A. Of course your heart rate increases...it's struggling to make the rest of your body work. You feel sluggish because your body isn't getting the nutrients it needs. If this continues, there will be a time when your body shuts down completely.
Get help for binging. YOu cannot continue to do this. You will only mess up your body, make yourself sick and possibly die from it.
If you were in good health, you wouldn't have an eating disorder, so please don't lie to yourself.
Please see a therapist and get treatment immediately. This isn't something you can stop on your own.
