[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another binge eater here.  It becomes an impossible cycle to break.

I try to exercise alot to balance it out, but at this point have given up on fixing it.

Honestly, it makes you feel disgusting all the time and hate yourself.  Get help now before you become me.

I am moderately fit and average weight.  If you saw me on the street you would have no idea.

It is very hard to get anyone to take it seriously as an issue, especially if you look “normal”

So sorry.  I don’t know what to tell you.  [/quote]

PP, I'm the 9:15 poster and I totally feel your post.  I also was fit, seemingly healthy, and thin through all of my binge eating, which went on to some degree for years.  I exercised a lot, which I do think balanced out the binge eating and helped control my stress, but it was also something I'd use to try to counterbalance the binge eating in an unhealthy way (e.g., that was a terrible binge, I need to elliptical for an hour today).  It's just exhausting and such a terrible cycle.  I'm so sorry you're going through it.  I just wanted to say that it can get better!  It felt impossible for a very long time.  I couldn't even fathom keeping things like bread, cereal, or crackers in the house, let alone treats or cookies.  Today I have a totally normal/healthy relationship with food.  I went to a therapist who specialized in eating disorders and it was so helpful.  I agree most people don't take binge eating seriously because the term is thrown around fairly liberally and overeating on occasion is a normal behavior, but if your'e binging to the point that it is frequently impacting your mental/emotional well-being, there are probably some deeper issues that could be improved with some work.
