Hey everyone, I was doing so great! I even made it through the holidays, and then less than a week ago, I had the urge to binge and I did, and I have been doing it everysingle day. I always tell myself, ok I am starting a healthy lifestyle, I am going to lose weight. I try everything, Counting calories, writing what I eat down, I know I must have a binge eating disorder. Because I gain ten pounds, then lose ten pounds then gain again really quick. It is awful. Sometimes, I feel like I am alone, and helpless that I cant control what I eat. There is so much food in our house that it is easy to have. I mean it is not that I eat junkfood, I go to the healthfood store, I look at labels, and I eat healthy foods, but I eat way too much. Does anyone have this problem, can anyone help me?

Hi Catherine. I used to have a binge eating problem like you. I never lost or gained any weight (don't ask me why) but I would go on giant eating binges when my parents were gone. The thing that helped me get ahold of my bingeing and stop them completely (I've been binge free for MONTHS now) is to start a program. I decided to do Weight Watchers Online so that I don't have to go to the meetings, and being with a program like this really helped me get a handle on my eating.
I would look into it, it really changed my life.
