Leaders
Good day to you one and all. I am currently looking for active members to help me grow this group, answer questions, and step into a leadership role. If you have any interest in this at all please send me a message, or reply to this thread and we can talk about it more.
Privacy Settings
Hello all, I wanted to get a group consensus, should I leave the group set to private so people can feel more free to share without worry that others will see what is posted, or should I make the group public so that those who are seeking help can see what others have posted?
Welcome Part 2

Happy new year
Hello one and all. I know things have quieted down here lately and I want to change that. I started this group almost a year ago to help those struggling like I was. I know a few members have left but we have gotten some new members so let's welcome them and hear their stories and try to lift them up and support them and…
Hello and welcome
Hello and welcome to all the new people, and hello once again to the members that have been here for a while. I have noticed things have been quiet around here lately, and I am partly to blame for that. I was off work for the summer and my time was spent being home with the kids and doing a million projects around the…
What can we do to help you succeed?
I want to know what as a group can we do to help each other succeed? What do you feel like you would need to be successful, taking it one day at a time? What sort of things help you to avoid a binge? No fear, no judgements, no shame. Put it out there for the group, you never know what you will get in return. Please no…

Discussions
Good morning
Hi I was wondering if this group was active. I know I’ve been a binge eater for sometime. I go to a see a therapist once a week but I’ve not found a tool to help me from 4pm onward when I start to get tired. Do any of you have any tips or struggle similarly at this time of day?
Welcome back
This group tends to stay pretty quiet but we are out here!!
Are any of you like me? Older? Not what doctors label heavy? On Vyvanse?
I went to an ED support group - but I easily had 20 years on everyone. I went to an OA support group - but they ridiculed me because I'm not heavy. Please, let there be someone like me. I'm 48, 5'4 and weigh 122 - a very misleading number that doesn't reflect what I see or feel. I've only recently been officially diagnosed…
Looks like this group is quiet... new here
Hi guys and gals! Just wanted to check in to see how active this group is :) Hope all is well with everyone!
Please Help!
At the moment I am extreme binge eating around once a week. Although this is better than everyday like I used to, it is really getting me down. I am frustrated, and just tired. It really feels like all of the good habits I practice the rest of the time are just wiped out in a moment of weakness. I am especially triggered…
How can we help each other?
Hello all, what can I do to help kickstart this group once more? What are you looking for out of this group?
Working and B.E.D.
Do you find your line of work impacts you and your B.E.D? Or do you find you are more prone to binges while at work? For me I used to be the architect of my own demise. For me I am a Chef, and I am also pretty good with pastries and baking. So before I was diagnosed I would cook and bake and eat and have no control.
What is your solution to binge eating? Please share how you stopped binge eating!!!!
How does the drug Vyvanse work? I try to avoid wheat, flour and sugar. I do things like yoga, meditation, etc but continue to binge eat faithfully once a week. I have tried many different programs and hypnosis but nothing seems to really help. Remaining abstinent from wheat, flour and sugar has worked the best for me. But…
Hi Newbie here
Thanks for allowing me to join!!! I have a history of chronic migraines and a week ago today I started on Topamax. It also is an appetite suppressent. 2 days ago I started on 60 Vyvanse. I feel amazing! I am not a scatterbrain like normal, I have zero appetite (I forced 800 calories down yesterday), I have gone from an…
Howdy dum diddly doodly do
You ever feel like you are talking to yourself? Ha just kidding, how is everyone doing? How are you feeling, how are you doing with binges?
