[quote=Anonymous]I've been diagnosed with a newly recognized eating disorder known as binge eating disorder. Meaning I eat normal portions most of the time and then when I have a bad day, am dealing with a tough situation, or any other random trigger I can eat well above your normal meal or snack. I will consume hundreds of calories in one sitting usually under an hour, and then shortly after will be depressed on through to the next day when I will swear this cannot happen again. It always does though. I've dieted, lost weight, gained it back, gone to drastic measures after a binge (purging, using laxatives/water pills, exercising, or severely restricting calories the next day). Althoigh those things do not happen regularly, the binges do, probably 1-2 every week. 
At this time I'm slightly overweight but not obese (although I have been). I see a counselor and go to meetings for support and am slowly but surely getting my disorder under control. I've been with the family I work for for over 3 years. Love everything about them, and we have a great relationship. We hang out all the time outside of working hours and they're like family/I am like family to them (they've said this many times).

Anyway I'm feeling like I want to fess up to mb about this. She's seen me gain and loss weight, restrict my
Calories and exercise like crazy but no lose any weight, she probably thinks I am nuts!!!! But I really want her to know the truth. I trust her but I wonder what her reaction might be. FWIW, I've never shown any actual Symptoms in front of them or the kids, and I'm not sure if they would ever suspect it, but like I said I'm friends with MB (words from her own mouth) and feel like I need to tell these people who I spend a lot of time with.

MBs would you be freaked out by this? Anyone else by chance struggle with an ED and have told their boss? [/quote]
