I have never posted on this forum, but am a binge eater. I really need to get this under control. I have never told anyone about my binge eating until recently when I opened up to my therapist. We are working on this in therapy, but I also need a lot of support outside of that. I did try OA on the phone, but it really just wasn't for me. I believe in a higher power, but all this leave it solely up to the "higher power" really freaked me out.

I do have support from my husband, but sometimes it's tough love...so, I figured you ladies would be able to be my support when I need it as you probably better understand me.

My last binge was on Monday. I did great yesterday and commit to not binge for the rest of the day and if I have the urge, then I will first ask myself how I am feeling and why do I want to binge...is it out of boredom, frustration, anxiety, etc...

Ok, well thanks for letting me vent and I look forward to getting to know you all.

Good for you for opening up and admitting that you are a binge eater. It's not an easy thing to say and to be honest, until I found 3FCs I wasn't as comfortable admitting a lot of things about my eating habits. But as I saw others had the same problems, I didn't feel so odd and alone about it.

I also binge eat and struggle to control it so I empathize with you. Glad you're here talking about it and we're here for you.

Hi Lizzie Bee,
thanks so much for sharing with us, we are all here for support, I really love this community because everyone is so supportive and positive, just reading other people's tips and experiences has helped me out a lot, it really helps to know that you are not alone. I know that we are all working on learning, growing and in some cases healing. (emotionally)
