What is your life like after living through a life of binge eating?
Have you successfully stopped binge eating?
What is your story?
How has your life changed now?
Im looking to see the view points of people who have succeeded and moved past a life of binge eating. Why you did it and how you cope with it now.
Thank you for all answers.
I was a binge eater for years. I tried to be "skinny" for my boyfriends and seemed to always get the guys that wanted the skinny girl. I realized that I have curves and there ARE men that like them - finally!!!! I did some soul searching, and started to read about health and fitness…and started to eat the RIGHT fat burning foods. I stopped obsessing about my thighs and started to simply LIVE a healthy life. I do all kinds of cardio exercises and added weight training (a bit) to help me burn fat all around the clock - even when I sleep! That's what weight training does. Being a female and doing weights does NOT mean you will get bulky. We simply get toned and lean and strong. I eat junk food - for fun - only once in a while…but the MAJORITY of the time…I eat the best and healthiest fat burning foods to help me along with staying in shape and yes…I still have curves, but they're strong now! Binge eating is usually caused by unhappiness…and finding out and dealing with what you're unhappy about is what you need to do FIRST. Make some changes…get happy and you probably won't binge eat. Don't let other people control your happiness. I married a man that prefers a very thin model-like figure…but after getting strong, fit and healthy and showing that I love myself…with more confidence…he sees a healthy attractive woman! I eat for me now…and that means whatever amount I feel is best for me as well. It took YEARS to get over this binge type of eating…but I found that with regular exercise and eating well…and ACCEPTING my physical shape…I am happier and don't want to binge eat any more. It starts from within. My life has changed dramatically and for the better. But I had to do the work myself. No one else could do it for me. If it were that easy, no one would be binge eating. Finding out WHY you're unhappy is the first step…and take it from there. Never give up on yourself. You CAN do it! I did…and I was the woman eating in the closet…believe me! I ended up doing three figure competitions. It IS possible! Just DO IT!..I have had 5 children by c-sections, and now I walk with my teenagers and people think I'm one of them (from far of course)! If I can stop binge eating…anyone can!

What is the best and most efficent way to stop binge eating?
I am a binge eater, I have tryed to stop. I just don't know how!
Has anyone whos had this problem before found a way to just start eating normally again? Cause all this is doing is killing my confidence and turning me into a slob. Is there any free online programs or anything like that to help? because all the ones I find cost money.
I don't know of any online programmes but i can give you a few tips;
1. Keep busy, try not to spend too much time watching tv or sat at a computer - binging is often a result of boredom
2. Eat properly throughout the day - if you are starving your body during the day you are more vulnerable to temptation at night and your body will be screaming out for food so that when you do eat, it says "i've got to get as much food as possible because i don't know when i'll next eat!'
3. Throw out any junk foods or 'naughty' foods that you often binge on. If you can only binge on fruit and veggies, it's not nearly as bad, in fact its healthy!
4. Change your vocabulary - don't think of it as a 'binge' because a 'binge' necessarily means you've ruined whatever diet you're trying to keep to and you may as well just eat everything. Instead think of it as a 'treat'.
Hope this helps!
