  • Thanks guys! Yes, I am back on track now! Before, I would get derailed by something- a bout of sadness or something- and then even when I got over whatever was bugging me I still was in "eh, screw iit" mode and wanting to just enjoy life and food without stressing so much about it. The only problem is in all reality that…

  • For me, Skinny Thinking has been a huge hit.... It takes a very practical approach to loosing the overly-glamorized romantic relationship to food. It is a little bit more light hearted- I am reading it along with "Overcoming Binge Eating" but for me, the way this author puts things makes me get it.....…

  • hi! I was just about to post when I saw yours... Although my post is about feeling depressed right now (pms? a recent relocation?) I am usually a very happy person aside from my issues with food. My binge eating was turning into bulimia that was getting way out of control... B.C of my ED, I have been on Buspar and Prozac-…

  • Agreed! I am a late night eater as well and have researched this... eat away! As long as you stay within your cals for the day, you should be good to go!

I am 3 days binge free so far, and even though I am a few cals over my goal I had a very balanced few days! I was thinking of you…

  • Haha I know! Sometimes taking our own advice is the hardest!! Well, good luck! If you feel yourself slipping the 3-4 lbs might not be worth your sanity :) Let us know how it goes!! :) This may have been my problem this week too. I lowered my calories back to 1200 because I just couldn't seem to lose this stupid 3-4 lbs I…

  • Thanks greekygirl! I think you are right. I am going to go up to 1500. Maybe my Monday was too big of a deficit that's why I woke up Tuesday freaking out with cravings... It has precipitated these two days of binge eating so I guess it would be better just to go up a couple hundred than a couple thousand!! Jeas009, it…

  • Thanks guys! I am glad to be here to and want to thank you all for your support :) I am going to my GP tuesday and will be asking for a reference to a psychologist..... You know, ADHD runs in my family, and the people I have lived with (people reluctant to even believe in ADHD) have been convinced I have it. Anyway, I have…

  • I have thought of this as well. Do you know if they are affiliated with religious beliefs? Their 12 step program seems to be God centered. Am I understanding this correctly?

  • Hi there. I have just heard of BED for the first time.... I don't have depression, but probably have some anxiety related to food and definitely suffer from binge eating. Have you heard that prozac helps even when not conflicted with depression? Thank you!

  • Hi there:) I work out about that same amount and am trying to loose some weight, and I would like to loose the weight (around 12-13lbs) before graduate school starts in May. While I always love to eat, I am wondering if my 1200-1300/cal diet is too restrictive for the amount of working out I am doing and leading to serious…

  • I have the same issues.. Good on you for making it a week though... I always TRY to tell myself that I have to just make it through this ONE day, anyone can do ONE day right? Theoretically yes, but this is always separate from logic. i just had this issue yesterday. I woke up and immediately was CRAVING chinese food. Like,…
