How to control binge eating and start losing weight?
Q. I seem to think that food is like my friend or something. This is a real problem. I am 134 and yesterday I was 132,, and the week before 126.. This bing eating problem is getting out of control. I am 5'3", Female, what weight should I be for a flat stomach?also how can I stop binge eating and lose weight?

A. Not to weigh yourself on a daily basis
your weight changes for any reason form one day to the next
if you have to get on a scale do it once a week...
same day of the week and same time of the day

eat 3 meals a day and 2 snacks
or since you do binge
eat 6 small meals thoughout the day like every 2 to 3 hours
that is so you don't get hungry in between meals and possibly won't binge
no junk food, cut out sugar, eat healthy...
drinks lots of water
find some type of exercise you like to do
and do it at least 5 days of the week

who knows how much you should weigh for a flat stomach
someone might know...however I don't

btw--your weight is normal for your height

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.
