Hiya! I'm Meg and I have binge eating disorder, as well as mild depression and a bit of anxiety thrown in here and there, I am incredibly overweight and hoping to shed quite a few pounds. I am glad to say that this app is helping me along the way and to realise how much I'm taking in, any helpful, friendly people are welcome :)

    Hi, Meg! I have an habit of binge-eating as well, but I'm overcoming it. I'm adding you, so maybe we can help each other :smile:

    Hi. I'm Maggie. I've been a diagnosed bulimic for close to 8 years, which binging is a huge part of. I'm happy to say for the most part the obsessive thoughts aren't there anymore, but it's still something I live with everyday.

    Hi Meg. You pretty much wrote my story too. I wish you the best of luck. Hope it's OK if I add you. I'm looking for others for support -- to give and receive. Anyone else feel free to add me.

    Hi, I also have this problem. I cry everyday about food and have a huge fear of putting on loads of weight. I can barely go a week without a binge and its the worse thing in the world. I would do anything to be able to eat normal and not think so much about it.
