The COE/BED/binging and overeating support thread
 

Sorry if I shouldn't be doing this, if it's not wanted Mods feel free to delete.

Due to this post in forum and community questions it has been discused that we make a BED/COE/binging and Overeating support thread as many people suffering with BED/COE and binging/overeating problems feel intimidated to make there own posts so here is the chance to discuss your issues and find a level of understanding and get support.

I hope this helps.

I don't actually have an ED, but I'm definately leaning towards binge eating, and it worries me a bit.

Or just a problem with binging or overeating.

Like for me I haven't been diagnoised with BED/COE but, I overeat alot and I know there are many others on RYL who are scared/feel intimidated posting in the ED forum due to the nature of there eating problem.

I over eat but i can sometimes binge on my own is when its worst

yep that's me.

is it really a problem? stupid question i know but i find it hard to accept stuff and no one really notices because im not overweight and don't eat much the rest of the time so it looks normal, if that makes sense. but i do binge and it sucks.

*Peeks in* o.o;.

Err. I haven't actually been diagnosed with an ED, because I'm very reluctant to speak to my doctor about it. But I definitely have binge eating tendencies. Which is weird, because I used to restrict a lot o_O;. Anyway. Bleh. Hay?

I was dignoied with Bulmia as young teen but it's turned into overeating with lots of weight gain. I eat when I feel upset

I think it is a problem, because it can distort your relationship with food, and that's not good in anyway.
I don't know, I binge when I'm not feeling good, which is quite often, and it just makes it worse.
Meh

anyone know much about treatments for this?

I never heard of treatment, I be v intreseted to know what is rekconmended.

Treatments could probably most likely be along the lines of CBT.

I don't know about treatments but there must be some form of treatment, for example learning how much food your body needs and learning to be 'full up' (thats my problem I can eat and eat and eat and never be 'full up'

At the moment I'm just trying to control my eating. I'm finding it very hard and because I've gained alot of weight my mum is trying to get my to join Weight watchers and i'm hoping that will help me get a meal plan sorted out.
