Noticed no posts on Binge Eating Disorder

MagenDavid123

So I’m going to write, the first one!
Weight loss is a struggle for me because I can overeat lots of food in a very short period of time.but I don’t have purging behaviours ie throwing up, abusing laxatives and diuretics and over exercising.

I have many cravings for carbs and refined sugars the give me an instant boost of energy then a crash.

I use mindful eating, meditation just sitting still and doing nothing until the cravings pass, about 20 minutes later.
I cut up chocolate bars in 6 and stick them in the freezer. I rebag chips to portion them out. I can hold onto a ice cube to help with a bad cravings.

Any other ideas would be nice .

Thanks for reading.

The community guidelines don't allow posts regarding eating disorders. They are groups within MFP that can offer support as well as additional resources that are geared to help those that suffer from disordered eating. I wish you well on your journey.

It is not true that you can not post about eating disorders at all here just not promote or encourage them.
Use the search feature and you can find them.
