jennifer here,
can a eating disorder be over eating? or just eating to be eating not becase your hunger just board, sad, or just plain eating for no reson.

i think that would be classified as an eating disorder also. Tell us more about your feeling and exactly it is driving the disorder.

Yes it is called binge eating disorder...its the same as bulima only no purging. It is now an official eating disorder in the books.

I am glad that they (the medical community) are finally recognizing this as an honest problem! It's not something that can be easily stopped, as I have battled with it for years! I've had lots of prayer time and lots of psychological time spent on my problem...

Nikoel,
I here ya! i too have binge eating disorder. We just KNOW there is something terribly wrong!! We have just as much of a problem as an anorexic or bulimic, probably more so because we just keep gaining and gaining weight and have major obese health problems to top it off. Mine started in highschool as anorexia/bulimia...i did awhile of starving and awhile of purging..and i hated both so i just kept bingeing and bingeing without puking. And its been going on now for 20 yrs. I am sick to death of it. I am sick of looking at myself. I am sick of trying every diet know to man. But if i dont try and diet once in a while i will just keep getting bigger. Atleast getting 10 pounds off with each diet keeps me a little lower weight for a few extra months in between all the bingeing. I was 301 at my top weight. I fluctuate alot between my diets. Right now i am around 260. Last year i had gotten down to 220 on atkins but then got pregnant. Its just so frustrating. I dont even like looking at myself. I hate buying clotehs in the "big girl" store. Then the people in the family who say "well just eat less" or "just exercise"...blah..they dont get it at all. If i could i would. But i keep turning to God and he helps me and if he didnt i would be 500 by now. Lets encourage each other!! We need each other!

I don't know if this would work for anyone suffering from binge eating...but this is what I did that eventually led me to recovery from anorexia and bulimia. I ate 6 small meals a day. This way, I was practically always eating. I got to eat 6 times a day. It helped me to have a schedule of 6 different meals and to know that I got to eat again in 2 hours. 8 am, 10 am, 12 pm, 3 pm, 6 pm, 9 pm is when I ate and sometimes I wasn't hungry at 9 so that meal got skipped a lot. If you want to know more...let me know.
