I'm suffering from binge eating and am wondering if anyone has any advice? Food has completely taken over my life- I am constantly thinking about it and how fat I am (though I am not actually overweight, I feel as if I am). After a binge, which happens frequently, I don't want to leave home because I feel so fat and ashamed.

I don't think of myself as having too unhealthy a lifestyle. I do cardio at the gym 3-4 times a week, weights twice and netball once a week. I have lots of fruit and veges in my life.

I thought I'd post to tell you all that I made a list on here of various websites that offer good info & support for people struggling with various types of Eating Disorders! You can find my list right here: {Eating Disorder Support, Info & Resources}
I included sites around the world for various countries as well. :)
I hope this helps!

What a nice 4-day weekend I had only to spend it eating. After my ice cream binge this Labor day which included an entire pint of raspberry sorbet, one ice cream sandwich, a bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough, BR waffle cone w/ double scoop of rainbow sherbet, I am now screaming at myself for being so weak. I allowed myself to use the excuse of it being my reward for all the hard labor I do daily, but now I realize I have even more labor to put into on the treadmill.

Eating Disorders
In a society that continues to prize thinness even as Americans become heavier than ever before, almost everyone worries about their weight at least occasionally. People with eating disorders take such concerns to extremes, developing abnormal eating habits that threaten their well-being and even their lives. This question-and-answer fact sheet explains how psychotherapy can help people recover from these increasingly common disorders.

Most of us take prescription drugs -- drugs that, by law, must be prescribed by a doctor -- at some point in our lives. If all goes well, the drug works for you as it's supposed to. But there's no "magic bullet," or drug that works the same for everyone without any risks or side effects.

I occassionally mention the fact that I had Gastric Bypass Surgery (Roux En Y to be specific).
It was not Stomach Stapling as people often try to refer to it. Stomach Stapling is a completely different old procedure from Roux En Y Gastric Bypass.
