Yup. I scored a 36 out of 46. Severe Binge Eating Disorder. Hi. I'm Margaret and I live to binge.

A month ago I got 29, now I'm at 23!!! A personal NSV for me

I scored a 27, right on the edge of severe. I guess I knew that. Really hoping this group helps me get this thing under control. I can go for a month or two, and then eat one thing I shouldn't, and there I am, eating enough for a family of four.

27, and its been worse in the past. i feel like i am taking positive steps.

I was at a 29 and knew it would be up there in that binge category.

35/46 severe....

I originally scored a 37 a while back when I was in the deep of it. Now, I scored an 8. I just want to cry. It makes me so happy to see that. I haven't binged in a bit, but I know I'm not totally out of the woods. You never really are, but it's nice to see confirmation that things have improved so much.

How did you do it crepes? What changed?

So happy for your success

Thanks so much! Something clicked one day. You know how that feels, like when you're on a good streak of a few days where you feel much more human and less animalistic. I talked it out with my husband, I distracted myself a ton, and I stopped tracking for a bit to get out of the mindset that everything has to be about food. After a week of trying really really hard and having to actively repeat "You aren't going to binge" over and over again, I suddenly had to stop trying and it just become a new normal. It felt very familiar. A couple years ago, I had a period of a few years in which I didn't binge once. It was like that version of me woke up. It's like getting it out of my system and doing a hard reset helped me get rid of those feelings that became part of my persona.

Thank you for posting this. I got 34 out of a possible 46. Doesn't shock me...

I got 24..."moderate binging behavior." I took a second time and answered the way I would have two months ago, and got 29- "severe binging behavior." It's comforting to see the improvement, though small, and that test really got me thinking... It seems like my biggest problems are related to feelings of embarrassment, shame, and guilt, and the fact those feelings overwhelm me all day every day. I try very hard to stay positive and confident about the future and achieving my goals...but the whole "love myself as-is" concept is something I can't quite grasp yet...
