This really isn't the place for eating disorders. Sorry.0

Are you looking for support in recovery?0

I don't understand binge eating and being a vegetarian... ? Sorry being honest. It does not make sense.0

Trogalicious - What's your problem?
September - I am currently a BED (with purging tendencies) sufferer and currently trying to recover for the first time. Feel free to use me as support or just to read off my logs!0 -

Is your goal of being here for Recovery?0 -
Thanks superkeats- I'm going to add you. And Taragirl- Vegetarians don't eat meat, and honestly, I have never heard of ANY binge eaters binging on meat..... so how does that not make sense....bingers usually binge on salty and sugary foods....0

To those who are asking about recovery- yes! Because of my eating disorders I have fluctuated from 110-165ish, and now I am at 145. I went from binging every day to now binging 0-3 times a week-which is a huge accomplishment for me! Keeping logs and completely abstaining from trigger foods (such as peanut butter) has really helped. What also helps is getting into shape because when I am getting into shape, I have a better emotional/mental state-thus eliminating bad moods that trigger binges!0

I don't have BED, but I can see how it would be easy to binge on cookies, potato chips, ice cream, etc., all of which are vegetarian. Trust me, it makes a lot of sense.I don't understand binge eating and being a vegetarian... ? Sorry being honest. It does not make sense.
Good for you, OP, for seeking help in your recovery. It sounds like you're making good strides. I wish you all the best!0 -
Best wishes to you! :drinker:0

What's your caloric goal per day? I'm a veggie trying to kick cheese to be vegan. If you have a healthy goal you can add me. But I must warn you, if you're one of those "i can only eat 500-1000 calories a day", I will not accept 0

Again.. didn't say anything about meat. All Vegetarians I know are really clean eaters. So that's why it didn't make any sense to me.. that's all. But thanks for the emails!0 -
I don't have a problem and I can certainly hope that the OP is indeed here for recovery. When you look at the title of a thread and it STARTS with Eating Disorder, I'm not sure how there can be much of a good response. Either way, it's effectively frowned upon to talk about ED's here. Not my rules, just a point to be made. While OP may be in recovery (and best hopes for that, as well as wishes) you have to understand that not everyone is in the same boat.Trogalicious - What's your problem?

OP: Maybe try changing the title of your next forum post to not include "Eating Disorder"...?0 -
I guess I should have been more specific...! Yes I do have BED-Binge Eating Disorder- but the difference between BED and other eating disorders is that people with BED don't ever try to to find others to binge with them or support their binging....people with BED are ashamed of their binges...in my experience I have never come across threads that say "I have BED, let's binge 5,000 calories together every day for the rest of the week!" No...it's all about finding support to or through recovery!0

I am vegetarian. I no longer feel the urge to binge because of what I eat.
I still have those fruit bars in my office and I haven't touched them for a month now, given that I used to eat two of them everyday not too long ago.
You are welcome to add me as a friend.0 -
Are you in therapy? Don't mean to be disrespectful but this is a fitness site. This site really isn't a good place for people with eating disorders.0
-
I never had an eating disorder, but I do eat cleanish with humanely raised meat. You can add me if you would like support in that area.0

A fitness site? Really? Never would have guessed.....
Yes I'm in therapy, and "FITNESS" IS one of the best therapies for BED.0 -
Not to mention that my "homework" for therapy was to write down every single thing that I eat....interesting how this website helps you do that! It seems like many of you are quick to jump to conclusions/judge when I bet you have little understanding of what BED is in the first place.0

redladywitch- Please go through the guidelines with me of the conditions of the types of people who are "allowed" to utilize a fitness site. People who want to be fit? People who want to feel good about themselves? People who want to look good? People who want to be healthy? People who want/need to keep track of their food intake/calories? Wow I fit all of those categories!0

It's easy to judge a person when you haven't walked in their shoes. I wish you luck with your recovery.0 -
Guys, just because there's EATING DISORDER in the title of a diagnosis, does not mean it's a restricting disorder. Jesus. Learn your facts before you jump on the OMG EATING DISORDER NO ALLOWED GO AWAY train.0

Well i certainly do, I can eat a lot of chicken, sausages and burgers binge eating is everything, some people binge on vegetables. I also suffer and in a big way, logging does help but you have to have the motivation to stop or find the cause so you can stop.0 -

These people are ridiculous...I have this problem and I'm here to try to change that. I've been here for two years and have been pretty successful so far, but am up and down with my weight as well. Clearly you are here for support to STOP, not to recruit or commend binge eating. Don't listen to these guys, these message boards have gotten ridiculous and I'm appalled by the responses. Feel free to add me and good luck on your journey! It's definitely a tough thing to break and I hope you find more supportive people along the way!0 -
Good words, K! It doesn't matter if you are vegan, vegetarian, or carnivore, etc. You can still develop ANY type of eating disorder. Reaching out for support to others who have the same thing as you is the next step in aiding recovery. Many people who suffer from anyone one of these disorders or any other behavioral health issue often feel alone and some are drowned by silence and stigma of those others that classify themselves as "normal". Screw normal!0

Honestly, it's not like she is posting a thread asking for someone to support her in her eating disorder ways. She has just mentioned that she happens to struggle with it. Maybe she needs some support with her fitness, which, believe it or not, does help when it comes to eating disorders because personal fitness is both mentally and physically clarifying.
Aren't we all here for support and friends that are helpful? Why are we focusing on the negative eating disorder, and not on the positive- the fact that she's staying away from triggering foods, and trying to get/keep healthy?
You have my support.0 -

I have never heard of people with ED's not being allowed or discouraged from posting on the forums here. You would be surprised how may people with EDs use this site for support and for recovery. It makes much more sense for them to be on a supportive and healthy website like this than on an all ED website which would most likely have triggers and unhealthy support and tips. I myself am in recovery from an eating disorder and so are quite a few people on my friends list. Its unfortunate that people like you are so unwelcoming to others, and I am really ashamed of some of the comments I've seen on these forums from people (not meaning you, other people on other posts are often very rude and make fun of people when they ask a serious question.)
Feel free to add me for support!! I am pescetarian (mostly vegetarian diet with the exception of eating fish every once in awhile)
My diary is also public if you wish to view it for any meal ideas 0 -
You can join the emotional eating group.
And a vegetarian can be a binge eater. You can binge on any type of food. If you are eating carrots to the point of feeling sick then it is still a problem.0 -
How you explained it made sense to me. I find at night I want to eat more even after a full day of success. First off,I think you are doing phenomenally in the progress you have made. Now maybe you can figure out what changed for you,and what your triggers are in general. Take it from there...and one day and night at a time. stay here for support,even though some might not understand..I'm sure there will be someone here for you to connect with. Don't worry about those who think this site isnt geared towards your problem. You want to change the way you eat,right? So that's why we are all here ....good luck and continued success!!!!!:happy:0
