Reply from Kailey, Age 14 - 05/16/08 - IP#: 69.159.54.xxx honey thats really bad, you gotta cut down, if you love eating all the time then try this: get healthy (but sweet!) snacks like strawberries and maybe 1-2 100 calorie packs of something and just snack healthier throughout the day, dont deprive yourself, i used to binge eat, but eventually i just felt so sick all the time so then i tried puking what i ate, boy was that a mistake, i still gained and i started caughing up blood on a regular basis, i just dont want you to go down this road! please dont binge its not good for you

Reply from Kelly, Age 17 - 05/14/08 - IP#: 144.91.51.xxx What does your daily eating look like? Like, are you eating all day long, or skipping breakfast and lunch and then eating in the evening? It sounds like you're already getting help, so your therapist can probably give you better advice than anyone here, but I would suggest making sure you eat very frequently, with significant protein and fat included in every single meal, to help cut down on the bingeing. Also - if you are 13, where the heck are you getting 8000 calories' worth of food every day, especially if it's all sweets? Can you ask your parents to keep the binge foods out of the house or cut down on your spending money until you can get this under control? Good luck, by the way - I've definitely struggled with bingeing (still do occasionally) and I know it feels really, really horrible.
