Ht. 5'2", Wt. 115 - Hi, I'm not new here...I just haven't posted in a while. Anyway, as you can see, I've pretty much met my goal, but I've had to struggle with my eating disorders into order to get to it. I've had a problem with binge eating disorder...and I think it's coming back. My goal weight was actually 108 lbs, and I reached it, but I put on this weight in the last 3 months. I know i'm not overweight anymore, but I feel like I'm losing control. I'm scared that before I know it, it'll be 10 lbs, and then another, and then another. It's really hard for me to find support, because I'm not in the overweight category (I used to be though). Anyway, that's my intro...I'm going to start posting here to keep myself from going crazy. *KARIN*

Hey I am struggling with binge eating disorder aswell and I have actually just begun to overcome it. In the last month I have not binged once! The only piece of advice I can really give you is that when you feel you have to binge, just keep thinking about how unhappy you were before you lost the weight, get some pictures out of you at your heaviest if you have any and just keep looking at them and telling yourself you dont want to feel or look like that again. Seeing yourself how you used to be should be enough to give you some willpower to resist the binge and if its not enough have a low cal hot drink or a piece of fruit to subside the hunger pangs. Good luck!
