Hi Everyone! I'm Rosey. I've always battled unhealthy relationships with food but it spiraled into bulimia a couple years ago which I will always be recovering from. Health issues from birth have complicated a lot of things but frequent visits with a therapist and attempting to gain a healthier outlook on food, exercise, and life itself will help the ED and other depressions issues. Feel free to add or just message if you need someone to vent to.

Hi everyone! My name is Lindsay and I have binge eating disorder. I am currently in recovery AND I need to lose weight for health purposes. I'm trying to navigate this journey without letting my weight decide my worth.

Hi, I'm Carolyn. I've been in recovery from anorexia since 1995. I had a set back after giving birth to my daughter in 2015. Although both physically and mentally I'm in a really good place right now it was humbling to see that I could still fall back into that disordered behavior.

I am in the minority; I am an older guy. There are probably more of us than people think, but most won't admit it (mostly won't acknowledge that they binge).
I have had trouble at both ends of the spectrum - get overweight from bingeing and then go into extreme dieting mode and eating way too little. Right now I am working on the extreme dieting with some success - I have been within 15% of 1500 (the minimum for men) for 7 days in a row. That was after going two months of eating under 1000 a day.
Bingeing was late night "snacking" of then after drinking. I have been sober for 5+ months now, which helps, and have not binged in about 3 months. It has been less than two weeks since I was under eating.
I am type II bipolar and bingeing is mostly a depressed behavior. Current meds are helping keep me from being depressed as often or as long and are a big part of how I stopped bingeing and started losing weight.

I’m Allie and I am 51. I have been dealing with mostly anorexia since I was 13 although I went through binge eating and some bulimia also in my teens, twenties, and thirties. For the past ten years, I have managed my weight with over-exercising and restricting my food intake ( at times more strict than others dependng on the amount of stress in my life). Right now I am trying to find a balance between caloric intake and exercise and eating more food, especially foods I call “scary.” When I eat one of those foods, I immediately over exercise the next day to work it off and feel so guilty for eating it. I am seeing a therapist and have been on medication for years as I also have depression, anxiety, and migraine headaches. I am glad that I have found you all as you understand what I am going through and feeling. It has been a long time since I have talked or shared with others who have similar thoughts.
