anyone overcame BINGE EATING?

I can't say I've overcome binging...but I find it comes down to my faith. When I am in God's word and giving Him control over my eating and emotions, I am able to find the self control to "eat to live, not live to eat". I know it sounds a little flakey...the book "Made to Crave" really helps alot. Check it out if you're a believer. I am currently on day 5 of no binging....one day at a time.

Not everything is in God's doing. That is not the answer!! The answer is that she needs help. Prayer doesn't help anything truly. People only "think" that it helps. People really need to stop putting everything under the sun that happens is because of the presence of God. Please!!

Just because you have different beliefs, and prayer doesn't/hasn't helped you, doesn't mean you have to bash her beliefs. She even says "check it out if you're a believer", not implying that its for everyone. Just as you don't want her beliefs forced on you, please refrain from forcing your beliefs on her and others.

What works for me is to eat small meals several times a day. If you keep your insulin levels even, you don't get that craving to just eat everything in the fridge until you're overfull. Keep a cooler of healthy snacks with you, and when you start fo feel hungry, allow yourself a small snack. Then wait 20 minutes before eating anything else to see if you're actually still hungry. You may need to up your overall calorie intake a little to make sure you're getting enough fuel. I think MFP tends to be a bit stingy on the amount of calories realistic for many of us. We track our exercise, but not the day-to-day business we do, which also burns calories.

I have binge eating disorder. I understand everything you are saying - feeling completely out of control, eating everything in sight, not being able to satisfy the hunger no matter what. It's awful. I think it must be what heroin addiction feels like. That first bite of cheesecake feels great, but you need more and more and you feel sicker and sicker and it never gets better. Yeah.

I see a bariatrician (aka my "Fat Doc"), who actually put me on meds for binge eating disorder. It has been classified as a "real" disorder, a real chemical imbalance. Amazing, right? The meds do help. But there is a lot of underlying stuff as well, stress eating and childhood stuff. And this is a genuine food addiction as well. Do whatever you can to ditch the sugar, if that's your nemesis. For a while, I was literally eating nothing but sugar. If you can cut out all the sugar and junk food for even a week, you won't crave it as much. It will get easier. The whole "one day at a time" thing? Sounds cliche, but it works. Sometimes it's "one minute at a time", as in, "I'm way too lazy this minute to get up for that (insert junk food of choice here)". Above all, as someone else said above, be kind to yourself. Guilt will perpetuate the cycle. You're fighting a hard battle. You don't need to be smacking yourself around. Be kind, take it one day at a time, and you'll get there. *hugs*
