created by: Andros Well I'm going to start. I'm Dany and I have a binge eating disorder.
To quote Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binge_eating_disorder):
"Eats an unusually large amount of food at one time -- more than a normal person would eat in the same amount of time. Eats large amounts of food even when they are not really hungry. Feels disgusted, depressed, or guilty after binge eating."
I've had it for the past 6 years.
Wow. I've been destroying my body for the past 6 years. I've seen doctors and psychologists but not having been to the core of the problem (why I'm doing this), it's very hard to stop doing this behaviour.
I'm hoping that Tools To Life will help me control these urges. I just finished eating ice cream even though I know I should not eat this and that deep down, I don't want to eat it. Yet, I feel like I have to eat it.
Hello, I am new to the site..and I am currently struggling to get into recovery for both anorexia and bulimia. I am looking to reclaim my life and allow myself to give my body the love it deserves..a healthy existence in body mind and spirit. Food addictions are especially horrific because we cannot completely abstain from our vice. In place of complete abstinance, we must constantly face it multiple times a day. It is time to love ourselves and take care of ourselves inside and out.

Thank you so much for the reply... it is so important to have support. So far today, I have been on track with everything...first time in years... but we can just take it one day at a time..or one meal at a time
I so agree, 1 meal at a time! my out look is everyday i want to eat healthy and i try , but basically every meal i get though is one step of getting through the rest of the day :) when and if i make it though the whole week its such an accomplishment!! :) I hope one day we can all look at food as something we need for living and not for enjoyment or satisfaction.
I'm proud of you Kat! Congrats for completing the first week of the program!
Kat, I fully agree with you. You are right that we ought to give our body the love it deserves.
I don't hate myself but I'd be lying if I said that I love myself. This lack of self-love is probably one of the causes of everything that I do that destroy my life. I'm working on it through the program and it helps.
I started the program about a month ago and before I started, I was a mess and disorder my leading my life. Then, I was able to reduce a lot my binging episode to about a releapse every 2 weeks which is a lot better than multiple times per day every single day.
I hope that Tools To Life will also help you on your journey and not only help you with your eating disorder but also with everything that is not working in your life.
If you need anything, I'm willing to give you my support.
