23...I don't know how to feel about that. I guess it's what I expected, but it doesn't make it less scary to have the truth staring in your face.

I scored a 9! Not bad

I scored a 39, severe Binge eating behavior. Now what do I do?

You work on it. Get support, find new strategies to beat the binge. You can get your score down with time!

great link...I got a 24, moderate. This is something that i am aware of, and trying to do better. It's a daily battle

New to this group and so glad i've found it!

I scored a 36-severe
Not suprised though, always knew my eating habits aren't normal.
But i feel like i will never be normal when it comes to eating

That's how I feel. The way I see it, I am never going to be a normal eater. So I'm either going to binge myself to 600 lbs, or count every calorie obsessively. At least with the latter I will be healthier. Maybe someday I will be able to maintain but I think I am going to struggle with this my whole life

Your score was 33 out of a possible 46.

Scores in the 27 - 46 range indicate severe Binge eating behavior

Anyone want a buddy to overcome this, feel free to add me!

Bump

I got a 32 (severe Binge eating behavior)

Yep that's me. Except I've had it under control pretty much since June 3rd (almost 60 days and only 1 binge). That is a major accomplishment for me but every minute is hard.

Thank you. Yes, the enormity hits me sometimes of 60 days with only 1 binge. Especially looking back and not being able to string together 6 hours without binging.

I appreciate you asking me about what helped me. The number one thing that has helped me is believing that I have the ability within me to eat mindfully regardless of my feelings. You know that split second when you feel that yucky feeling, and say aww I need the food or I will almost die from that feeling, somehow I have been able to stand up to those feelings and just, well feel them. I am learning to be satisfied from and thankful for what I do eat, savoring every bite. I have tried really hard to recognize the feelings that are causing the binging behavior and to not be afraid of them. That is not to say that there haven't been really hard days. For example, without the food, my anxiety really comes through, to the point that I almost can't focus at work. I am lucky that I'm not a heart surgeon lol.

Also what has helped me is quite frankly, each day's success. Every day breeds the next day and the next.

I am fiercely cognizant of my triggers and avoid them, even at the risk of offending others. My recovery is just too important at this point in my life.

Lastly, the support and kindness of my friends on here has helped tremendously. Honestly, sometimes I feel guilty and selfish for taking care of and loving myself, and hearing that I'm doing the right thing helps.

I hope I don't come across as bragging, I am sorry if I do. I really really am grateful for my success so far yet every minute feels fragile sometimes. As they say one day (or one minute) at a time. Thanks again for asking.

29...severe. Ouch.

It's only been the past few months that I've even considered myself to have a problem, so I started researching. Now to put a name to it plus the condition of "severe" is quite scary. I don't really know what to do. I feel really out of control and hopeless.

I got 32...

Sounds about right, I still struggle regularly with my relationship with food

Time to get back moving!

retaken the test and it's got worse- from 23 last time i took it to 28 which is into the severe binge eating behaviour...really need to fix this and stop it! :frown:

39

35, sounds about right. It's a battle.

Scored 38. Less than I figured it would be,actually.

As I sit here sick from binging tonight
