How are you guys coping with your binge eating? I'm recovering from bulimia and I've gotten pretty much past the restricting and now I binge without restricting and I'm becoming very unhealthy. I want to know where to start. I want to get better.

I am starting to go to an over eaters anonymous group. It's really for anyone with issues with food. You can go to OA.org to read about it and maybe find a meeting to attend.

They do help. There's no judging because we all share the same struggles.

The most important thing here is that you WANT to get better - congratulations on coming to that conclusion! It's such a huge step. Have you spoken to your doctor? You could start there?

I spoke to my doctor and got anxiety and depression medications as well as some appointments with a nutritionist and a psychologist. I stopped going to both..

I got better about restricting, but never really stopped binging and I think my bulimia is now heading more toward binge eating alone. And I'm going to a nutritionist again next week.

I find that ED's are often a result of something larger going on. Seeing a therapist might help you figure out why you're using food as a coping mechanism and help fix the cause rather than the symptom.

Medication for binge eating disorder and Bulimia Nervosa is available. It worked for me and now I'm losing weight in a healthy way. Best wishes..
