My goal is to be a healthier, happier active 61 year old. What happened in the past is in the past. I do not have to binge eat my life away.

I am still fighting the urge to binge, But i am losing weight and binge eating less. I am still looking for help with my disorder.

Believe it or not, I watch my 600 pound life to keep me from binge eating. I am afraid that could be me one day.

Please add me!! My name is Linda. Thanks!!

Set small goals and celebrate small losses. I set 5 pound weight loss goals 46 pounds ago. Read as many inspirational weight loss stories as you can. When i feel like binge-eating, I watch my 600 pound life, And that usually keeps me motivated. I believe in you. You can do it. Do not think of this as a diet. Think of this…

I have been a stress eater since i was a child. I remember sneaking food into my bedroom. At 57 i am finally coming to terms with my eating disorder. I have lost 44 pounds but continue to struggle every single day. One day at a time with a slow and steady pace. When i do binge, I try to figure out why and i do not beat…

Has anyone found professional help for their binge eating? I have lost 38 pounds but still struggle with binge eating.

I am reading all of these posts instead of binge eating. So far it is working. If i can make it past 8:00 pm, I will have my calming tea and my popcorn and call it a day. If i start snacking earlier, it usually ends up being a huge binge. That is how i have lost 34 pounds since March. I am still deathly afraid of…

Congratulations!!! I love your story and would love to share a similar story by the end of the year.

I have read everything i could find about binge eating disorder. They really helped me understand why i would binge all the time.

I hear you. I am 57, and i remember binge eating as a child. Always binged in secret.

Can binge eating run in families? My mom, one brother and 2 sisters are obese. My youngest sister lost all her weight on nutrisystem, but usually gains it all back. I am obese too.

I am 57 years old and remember binge eating as a child. I knew i was different from other people. I am so happy that this disorder has a name. All of the guilt and shame i felt was just awful. MFP has been so helpful for me. I am 1 month binge free.

Thank You everyone for your kind words and advice.

Just for today, I will....Stay focused and positive, Exercise every day, Keep negative thoughts from creeping back in my head and help others who need motivation.

I have not been diagnosed either and your story sounds familiar. I was on weight watchers too and gained a lot of it back. When I binge, I feel guilty and ashamed. I had a total knee replacement 5 years ago. At least they are finally becoming aware of our eating disorder. Do not feel ashamed or guilty. We have a real…

Most of my family have BED. I am doing well on MFP, but it is still a daily struggle, especially at night. Good luck with PT and MFP. I look forward to hearing from you again. I know we can change our lives with lots of support.
