I gained over 250lbs in a 7 year period. Fasting, metformin, focusing on nutrients (protein and veg at every meal with some fats to help with satiety), getting a job I like and being around more positive people. I binged because I didn't care if I died of a heart attack in my sleep. I realized that I needed to be more intentional about creating the life I want for myself

[RhondaR]

This is me one to two times a week. It was worse. I hate this.😭

Working on it, 2 days with Gods help, my will power, and removing binge food out of my room away from me.

[jessicamarie]

I’ve been suffering from this for years on and off. Rn I’m about 3 months deep into my binge and I literally can’t stop

Dr marks, would you consider making a video about how eating disorders evolve, and how they interact with addiction?

I tried to get over this and alcoholism by getting into weight loss. Quickly got obsessed with calories, fell into the pro ana vortex, and rather than learning how to not eat or drink (as though that's better than eating or drinking too much) I just developed bulimic behaviours. I couldn't get a grip of the bingeing& felt so out of control, I just became terrified of being fat as well. Luckily lamotrigine really killed my urges and cravings for carbs tho, & I can manage those thoughts and behavioural impulses now. Thank you psychiatry LOL

I always order for two, but it's just for me idk why, and yes I eat it all.

Vyvanse actually helped me a lot with this, but it's been bad the last week

I was anorexic in the past, and now i'm binging for the past 4 years. I gained a lot of weight and now i'm overweight. I never realized that this was binging even tho i'm studying psychology... what a shame. I think i'm denying that i have a problem, i can't even talk about this to my therapist 😕

I been having a binge eating disorder for years and lately its been getting better. This is what helped me.

Stop restricting, in my case I binge on the foods I am not allowing myself to eat. Instead of restricting, focus on adding vegetables, healthy proteins and whole grain products to the foods you already enjoy. The dietician Abby Sharp has many videos of great examples on how to turn your meal or snack into a satisfying combination of foods.

Don't skip meals! I made it a habit to eat 3 times a day and add snacks if you feel hungry in between.

Find ways to reduce stress. I binge the most when I am not okay. It's the only way I know to reduce stress and distract myself when nothing else works. Reducing stress of course is not easy and a topic in itself, but it starts with noticing what makes you feel stressed. I believe most of us with a binge eating disorder are on auto pilot most of the time.

And lastly, talking with someone you trust about this can really help! I know most of us don't really have someone like that, or we think we don't. Things we are ashamed of only grow bigger in isolation and it really helps to notice how we are met with empathy and not our own harsh judgment.

I know this is tough and you don't see a way out. I believe in you and you are worthy of love and kindness just the way you are ❤️

This is my husband. Binges, feels sick, complains about the pain, complains about the weight gain and then repeats it again over the weekend.

[RhondaR]

I'm doing it now. I hate it. I need help.😭

I solved this emotional eating problem by intermittent fasting. I don't eat until noon. And that is my only main meal. If I even try to eat 3 small means a day, I will binge.

Tbh Gym def saved my life I was going on a path where it was severe combined with a mild case of bulimia, but I started going to the gym and eating better. It only happens about 1-3 a week now and my weight has went from 230 fat - 175 Semi Muscular Semi Chubby in some areas like my sides. But I think the best part is I don’t feel as guilty because everyday I work on myself and it is getting better it’s just hard to kick something like this. Good luck to everyone struggling

[Akaria.Luvs]

I’ve been doing this since I was a kid…I always wondered why I weighed more.

[brandonmicheal]

I’ve had Binge Eating Disorder since I was 10 years old. I’m 27 now. I remember when I had severe BED. Fortunately, it only happens once per week now.

[disventurecampno.fan]

"Once a week"

Girl it happens everyday im sick of it

[siannarolls]

Every single day for the last 10 years. I'm 14 years old and I've been overweight my entire life. I hit 200 lbs when I was 12 and I decided it was time to lose weight. I lost 35lbs in around a year and a half. It wouldn't have taken me so long if I wasn't binging every day and then exercising to make up for it. I have no idea how to eat like a normal person. I either starve myself, overexercise, or binge. Sometimes I throw it up. I don't know how to stop eating when I'm full. I don't know when I should be eating. I don't know how much I should be eating when I'm hungry. Everytime I eat a meal I get the urge to binge and I rummage through my kitchen just grabbing whatever I can find. I feel so isolated and alone. I have no one in my life I can talk to about this and I haven't seen a doctor in 5 years. My mother is in the military and works all day and my stepfather is an alcoholic who is never home. I do online school so I have no friends and I never leave the house. I sit alone in my room all day and I cry while holding my cat every day. What do I do with the life that has been given to me??

[Raja-bzyw]

I had this for fours years for rhe two yrs ive been maintaining it n losing weight from it 💪🏾

[miriam]

Check, check, check and check. But now what do I do to stop it?

[Jazmusique]

Definitely a moderate to severe binge eater. Once went to a doctor and because I’m thinner, he accused me of bulemia- I was so offended and didn’t really feel heard I never tried to fix the issue again.
