Desperate for support

I've never been diagnosed with binge eating disorder, but I know that it's been an issue my whole life. I would eat and eat and eat until I literally got sick. It's gotten so bad over the past years that I can't even look in the mirror without feeling shame. Like, I'm not obese, but I am indeed overweight with a unsteady weight of 150 and a BMI of 25.7. This is my first time telling anyone about my struggles. And even though it's online, I still feel nervous some how. :#

    Hi, I understand and am definitely here if you wanna chat. I have been secretly suffering as well and only ONE person in my daily life actually knows, but really doesn't "know"... It's definitely an issue I am trying to work on. <3

    Same here no one in my life knows, it is a lonely thing to suffer from. I am on the road to recovery and willing to support anyone friend me,

    The people in my life know, but there’s not much they can do other than look sympathetic. I’ve been slowly gaining weight over the last few months, which scares me; I love my new body and would rather be dead than end up at 385 lb again.

    And yet, when the urge is triggered, there I go with the chocolate... and then literally anything else I can find in the house to stuff in my mouth...

    You are not alone. So very not alone.
