I'm fat

[girlintact]

Hello, everyone. Well, I'm not actually recovering from my eating disorder. I think I have an eating disorder. I belive I have the overcompulsive eating disease. I can't help but just chow down the food. I can't help myself. After I eat, I feel guilty. I've tried bingeing but I couldn't do it. I've tried keeping away from food, but I just couldn't help myself. Is there anyone out there who's been through my situation & overcame it? Please help me. Thank you.

Hi

I'm on the opposite side of the ED world, but I thought I would give you a friendly hug and at the same time, bump the thread up for someone who can help you to see.

hugs, I wish I could help, because I was like that about 6 years ago, but, well, what stopped me was anorexia, so I can't give any useful advice as u'd probably end up on the other side if I did! I am praying for ay though hun, and just remember, you are Gods' creation, he looks down upon you thinking youa re the most beautiful creation ever! *hugs*

I am in treatment for binge eating disorder, which includes compulsively eating at times. I have learned that the emotional triggers that cause anorexia and bulimia are the same for me. In my treatment group there are girls with anorexia and bulimia. I am the only obese woman in the group. I have learned so much about myself from listening to these girls and women share. It has been a blessing.

I suggest that you spend some time this weekend in prayer and meditation. Then confess to the Lord you cannot control your eating. Ask Him to help you for a small period of time. Something like "Lord, I cannot control my eating all day long. Please help me control it from 4 pm to 8 pm." Then just have a normal dinner and don't eat anything else during that time. Try doing that for a week. Don't worry about any other time of the day till that is mastered. Then make it an hour longer. Then make it an hour longer again. Keep adding an hour till you have it under control.

If you mess up, confess it and move on. Don't use it as an excuse to give up. Satan does that a lot and he will win if you give up.

Feel free to PM me if you want.

Hugs,
Trish

I know that you can overcome anything you ask God to help you with. Trish? who just posted has some excellent advice. I wish I had learned that wisdom when I was trying to overcome Ed's. Personally I guess alot of prayer has helped. Reminding myself of the desire to serve God and if what my actions were honouring to Him. Many times I would ask myself why I was eating. And if I was hungry or if it had just become a habit.
