My recommendation: You admit you are at a crisis point, seek some professional help - a doctor or eating disorder specialist. That is a great 1st step. I sought help, got into cognitive behavioral therapy and it helped greatly. My physician also prescribed medication (prozac is often prescribed for bulimia) which also…

I received some good news - I have 1 more follow-up appointment in 1 month for my eating disorder, and as long as I sustain my improvements made, I am done with counseling! :)

Assuming you meant 1400 a day? My recommendation, I think you should start by seeing your Doctor and talking to them. You might be referred to eating disorder specialist or nutritionist. The first step is admitting you have a problem. In order to properly address an eating disorder, you will need to stop restricting, stop…

Two books that really shed light upon this for me were "Brain over Binge" by Kathryn Hansen and "Ditching Diets" by Gillian Riley. For me, the binging began as a matter of survival from extremely restrictive eating and then became habitual / addictive. These two books have taught me that I need to recognize the…

I've have quite a bit of bloodwork and tests done since I've began recovering from eating disorder. No issues with diabetes. It probably has quite a bit to do with being on prozac for the bulimia, and prozac is well known for causing insomnia.

Sorry I missed this post. I'm waking up to use restroom. I also had myself checked for infection and enlarged prostrate, but neither are causing frequent trips to restroom. It happens during the day also. And while at one time, I was very hungry due to restrictive diet, most of the time now its just a mindless binge for…

Many of us are there or have been there. I recommend reading "Brain Over Binge." The book has done me a lot of good. Deal with 1 problem at a time - the Binge-Beast might be where to start. It really is a tremendous amount of pressure to deal with binging, trying to lose weight, depression, personal issues etc all at the…

Today marks 7 days of no binging. I have chosen to overeat at times, I've chosen to eat a few foods that would not be considered healthy, but I have not binged according to the medical definition of binge eating. The absolute worst feeling in the world is the shame after a binge. I can deal with a couple extra pounds due…

Book to recommend based on what you say right here.... Brain over Binge. I am 4 or 5 days binge free wince finishing the book. I also quit smoking and lost over 90 pounds. But the weight loss and restriction triggered the binge behaviors, which started out as the body needing food, then became a habit, much like smoking…

Got up 3 times to use restroom. Was very hungry. (Had run 8.3 miles before bed). Made a 200 calorie snack first time. But Praise God, that was all I ate last night!
