Hi there,
I'm sophie, and I'm a binge eater that does it in secret. I shop for naughty snacks, hide them and then gorge myself on the weekends secretly in my bedroom away from judging eyes.
I know it's unhealthy and I'm caught in a self-destructive cycle, so I've set up this group for any others who do it and need support. We may not have the answers and cures, but I think that if you're going through a tough time with this issue the we should all be there for each other.
Let's share tips, advice, worries and thoughts!
Thanks

I've been there ... I'm not there right now - but know how easy to slide back down that slippery slope -0

I am not big on sweets, potato chips, or most snacks. My downfall is pasta. Any form of macaroni and spaghetti noodles. And I can eat a HUGE bowl. I really think I am addicted to the stuff. I get real cravings for it. I know it is bad to eat such a huge amount but cannot stop myself. This usually happens about once a week. The rest of the time I eat pretty healthy. I have about 50 lbs to lose and am 61 years old. I know I have to start getting into shape while I am still able to. I just need to know how to control this compulsion to eat like that and yes, to understand WHY so maybe I can control myself. Thanks for reading and starting this group. I hope we can help each other!

Hey hey (so glad I found this group to be honest
) Like you I binge in secret (like I will only buy and eat things that I know my boyfriend wont notice missing) , I will get in a mood that may or may not resemble a starving animal being given food for the first time in a week, and just eat whatever is around the house, recently its become a little better where im actually quite concious of whats happening while binging, and Trying to controll it a bit (failing often, but I guess its a start, and better then waking up the next morning and opening an empty fridge), because I dont really track the bindges I think in my most recent one (last night) I probably consumed about 1000 calories in one sitting 
Recently i feel like the bindges are getting more frequent (hence me joining this group) and larger, I felt quite good about it for a while, not bindging that often - but now it seems to be the norm
I hope together we can help and support each other0
