I Am a Compulsive Eater Stories of Experiences

Hello friends.. I am new here and hopeful that in sharing my story with others who experience some of the same thoughts and feelings, I might find help.

I began a very strict diet in my early twenties to lose weight for my first...

I overcame a 20-year battle with Compulsive Overeating. I was seriously overweight for most of that time. After trying a gazillion diet-plans, mental 'tricks'/coping strategies, OA, therapists, medication, diet pills, countless books...

So I have been going every week. Last week and this week I offered to carry the bag that has the stuff for the meeting because it makes it harder to decide to not go the next week. Feeling a little less resistant, but not entirely...

When I was young I didn't have good food around the house. There was never really enough to eat, and hardly ever anything healthy. I was pretty thin as a freshman and sophomore in highschool, 5'8 130lbs. I had PE and just ate whatever I...

I just had a huge, 1500 calorie binge again, straight after lunch.

I tried to purge but I couldn't, I've stopped being able to recently, and I don't know why, so it's all sitting in me right now, making me fat, causing me skin problems...

I went to several meetings about a year and a half ago, but found a good excuse to stop going so I did. I have not "hit bottom" but I do want to be more healthy. It is a little hard though. I have had 3 years in other programs and am...

Having re-read this it doesn't ask too many questions, more of a venting session. Comments welcomed.Since I can remember I've always been fascinated with weight. I use the word fascinated because I don't mean obsessed with getting rid...

Let's see... What have I eaten so far today? Too much crap, as always.

Breakfast today was Cheerios with soy milk, a nonfat Greek yogurt, then...I had, I think, 3 homemade brownies. I went to school and ate two more brownies, a yogurt...

I used to be a compulsive eater when I was young and it went away years ago. Then I became bulimic and it eventually came back. I have no idea how to stop it but I can't afford to be gaining weight. I have 3 years to lose 60 pounds

This is a humiliating thing for me to share with anyone but I'm doing it anyway because I want to be strong enough to say that I don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks. My obsession with food came about in two different ways. One was...

Binge Eating Disorder

Food, food, everywhere

disgusting food
food I want to cook

Often when I am angry
stressed, sad, misunderstood
I go to food for guidance

A lot of women will often come to a realization that they eat for some kind of emotional reason. The food brings them some comfort or relief by way of distraction or an overriding of the emotions they want to avoid. Typically some kind...

I know it's crazy. But I've just had a binge consisting of 4 big fried tofus, 3 fried prawns, a cup of peanuts, chips, 2 hugeass chocolate muffins, 2 curry puffs, fried vegetables, a cup of yogurt, a chocolate bar and 2 cans of...

I struggle with binge eating.10 days ago, I ended up breaking my fast with a huge BINGE...so much for that 7 day water fast.

That is how it always is for me. I restrict / fast only to end up binge eating.
I used to struggle with...

I'm starting to hurt because of it. My self esteem is very low to begin with so when you add compulsively eating into the mix, it only makes it worse. When I eat compulsively, it's always the bad stuff. It's never food that's good for...

For as long as I can remember, I have used food as a tool to manage the stress and trauma in my life. It wasn't until I entered college that I noticed that my thoughts and beliefs about food were extremely different than the average...

I'm currently in high school, starting junior year here in August. Since, it's summer, I haven't been doing much, I've actually been quite lazy. It's only been a month into summer, and I've gained (somehow) over twenty pounds. Let's...

Don't puke Chippie, it's bad for you. You're too good for that. Keep staying strong. You're a beautiful, intelligent young lady. Don't give in. Besides, you didn't eat THAT much. Looks like you're hungry again, another plate won't hurt...

I remember it was a spring day, and the family was spending the day at my grandma's house. My grandma has in her bathroom one of those doctor's scales, the kind where you have to slide the little things across to find your weight...

At times, I just can't stop eating.Right now I'm not fat, but I'm worried I might start gaining weight to never again lose it. I've been feeling bad for a long time: I have few frineds, I don't see most of them very often, so I feel...
