How can I solve my binge eating disorder?

My binge eating is ruining my life. I visit counselors, take Prozac, try to stay busy, but I STILL binge eat! It’s consuming every part of my life and I am so confused on how to free myself.

try practicing mindful eating…everytime you’re going to eat, make sure the TV is off, there are no outside distractions (i.e. reading/talking on phone, etc.) and set a place for yourself at the table and eat from plates with real silverware and a napkin and all that good stuff. try to force yourself to eat slowly and concentrate on every bite you take and notice in the moment whether or not the food your eating is satisfying you emotionally and physically.

Seeing a dietitian (who specializes in eating disorders) could also help! Your counselor may be able to recommend someone for you.

    Perhaps with support and counseling you may stop. Do know it all depends on your free will and choices that you make: See: http://www.myeexpert.com/areasofexpertis...

    If you just started prozac then maybe you’ll stop binging later, but…if you’ve taken it for awhile then….SWITCH!

    Prozac &/or other anti depression meds could make you have more of an appetite.

    I struggle with this as well, I try to keep very little food in my
    house. If I eat out, I to eat just a single portion. This tends to
    help me with portion control. Rather than buying a bag of oreo’s, I
    buy three cookies at a convience store. I get a treat, but not too
    much. Eating out and buying small portions actually costs more
    money but is worth it.
