Howdy! I'm Kate, 33 out of Florida. I have struggled with weight and binge eating for years and am making a new attempt at my weight loss for good this time. I have been looking in particular for a binge eating support group to go somewhere when my friends and family who love me just really don't get how hard it is to not eat something.

Lately I've had more good days than bad. I stay in the deficit with my calorie counting and I've slowly been adding exercise back into my weekly routine. I'm making better choices all around with the foods I eat throughout the day and am maintaining a consistent amount of exercise each week...it's been an especially slow start back to the exercise. Still, those days arrive when I just want what I want and I don't care at all how bad it is for me or how much I'm going to regret it after I binge. I'm trying to keep those at bay as much as humanly possible.

I look forward to supporting you all and getting a little support from you here and there when those hard days to resist fresh Krispy Kreme donuts when the sign is lit up to tell me they just came off the line, or I'm hungry in the grocery store and reeeallly want those snack cakes I know have absolutely no place in my dieting efforts. Hope you all enjoy your weekend!

Hi. I've been a MFP member on and off for years. I've lost many battles with my weight but I haven't yet lost the war because I'm back to try again. Now it's getting more urgent. Health issues are beginning to raise their heads. So here I am. Looking for and hoping to offer support as we all struggle with the extra dieting burden of binge eating. It's very difficult for those who eat normally to understand binge eating. At best they see it as a weakness and at worse sheer gluttony. Here, I know I'll find understanding.

Hi! I’m in a similar place - I’ve been on here for almost four years, but haven’t been able to lose and keep off weight. My goal is losing thirty pounds, but whenever I’ve managed to lose a few pounds here or there I eat them right back on and then some. I eat a lot of healthy foods, but I eat WAY too much of them - I get in real trouble with nuts, nut butters, protein bars, dried fruits, fruits, grains (but I try not to eat grains) and even stuff like beans and tofu. I need to stop seeking comfort, happiness, and flavor from food. I want to fit back into my skinny clothes again!

I am Rob, a 67 year old man living in Northern Utah. I have been a binge eater all of my life, and only recently been able to control it. I have lost a lot of weight, ~200 lbs in all, and have been binge free for about a year and a half. However I know the urge has not left me, and I know I am never more than 5 minutes away from a binge. I believe that will be true for the rest of my life. I am trying to find a way to live with it.

So far I have just managed one day at a time to eat well and not binge. Guess I will keep doing the same, today anyway. I need support to stay binge free and this group appears to be a good place to get support.

Hi, I am new here, looking for help with binge eating. I am learning little bits here and there as I explore this site - like learning about triggers. Hadn't thought of triggers in terms of eating before. I am 51 and have struggled with food all my life, learned how to do so from my Mom who also struggled with food. All of my siblings struggle with food as well. I'm looking for tools and support to help me get off this rollercoaster of a ride with food. Every day its the same thing - I start the day with the best of intentions and by about 2 pm my intentions are all messed up. Help is appreciated.

Hello everyone!I'm Francesca….I'm a 32 old Italian woman.
I've been fighting with my weight and my emotional eating since I was 7. I'm now in a low point in my life where my weight influences my sleep, my daily routine, my mind. I know I have to stop eating this much but I cannot stop the anxiety.

Hi! I’m 33 and have had BED since I was 12. I also have BiPolar Disorder and other smaller issues that kind of create a perfect storm that led to my heaviest weight of nearly 400lbs. Therapy has been a daily part of my life for over half my life, but last year a new psychiatrist started me on a newly approved medication for BED that has helped me tremendously. I lost 100lbs over the past year and was able to deal with the negativity of BED better. Still, there are NO support groups in my area and I’m in desperate need of support from people who get it.

Hello! My name is Michelle ! I’m a proud food addiction as we’ll binge emotional eating disorder survivor. I battled since age 12 years old -32 years old . I have 1 year fully recovered. I am 33 years old. My 1year Anniversary was June 21, 2022 . This is an addiction that was not easy to beat . I still learn more and more about myself each day. It is very mindful because of when my emotions are there I have to be noticing am I eating with intention of the emotions or am I genuinely hungry. This is something I do on an everyday basis.
