what have YOU done to control your Binge Eating Disorder?
I realize that this is a sensitive topic, and many people may not even realize they have this disorder, but if you’ve learned ways to help control it I’d really appreciate your insight. I lose track of what I eat and how much, and it wasn’t until recently that I realized I had a problem and that it’s starting to make changes in my health.
Did you seek professional help?
Do you have methods of keeping track of the eating that have helped you reduce it?
What else have you done to control the issue?
I just wanted to add:
I live in a household where I am not the one grocery shopping. Those in charge of that do not buy healthy foods. My cholesterol is too high for someone my age and I believe it is due to the food available to me not only when I binge, but all day long.
Also, an overall dieting plan is not what I’m after. I’m not overweight at all.
Thanks!

Do your research before answering. It’s classified in the DSM-IV under eating disorder not otherwise specified as an expressive disorder.

Weight watchers is a great way to learn how to eat in moderation. I would not consider it a diet, but an educational tool to apply always and keep on looking and feeling good,
I write every bite down. I don’t have trigger foods in the house. I think about it before I eat. If I am hungry between meals, I eat nuts, celery, plain lettuce, carrots. I do not eat carbs because I crave them.
I’m not going to be any help here as I had the opposite problem. Anorexia. But wanted to wish you good luck. For me figuring out I had the problem was step 1. I did some reading after and talked to some friends and attended a few support groups. It ended up that the reading helped the most. And support from my family. Good luck
There is NO SUCH DIAGNOSIS in DSM-IV.
Your state board of licensed professionals would be VERY INTERESTED in knowing who diagnosed you. Such quacks should be disciplined.
