[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s an addiction. He needs professional help, or he will eat himself to death. Literally. You should find an eating disorder program for him, and tell him if he doesn’t do it the marriage is over. You should approach this like alcoholism or drug addiction.[/quote]

This, unfortunately. 
But, there is hope, if he is will to do work — a lot of work. Intense eating disorder therapy will deal with both the trauma and the off-track body systems. I am an obese binge eater, and am finally making progress after suffering for 20 yrs. im doing it with (and this is a lot) a combination of: EMDR (therapy to treat PTSD and CPTSD from rape, abusive family); CBT therapy (training my behaviors on when and what to eat), sleep specialist (I binge when insomniac), psychiatrist (anti anxiety meds). I have also committed to meditation and to daily walking. It’s complicated and it has been hard and sucky but I got to a place where my kids were starting to mimic my behaviors, and that scared the crap out of me. I am willing to do the work to change because I dont want them to suffer as I have. [/quote]
