Hello everyone!! I do realize that I have a bingeing/ compulsive eating problem, but if I talk to my doctor what do you think they would tell me? My latest bingeing has caused me to gain about 5-6 lbs in the past week and a half.
Also I heard about a binge-free thread, does anyone have a link, I can't seem to find it.

Welcome to the board!!

I am not sure what your doctor would say... they would probably suggest therapy or a diet program but I honestly think everyone has to find what works for them.

I am currently doing WW now, so I am not sure what or how my doc would tell me to change my diet, all I know is that I refuse to change my diet in any way that would make me gain weight. I'm already doing that on my own with the way i have been bingeing.

Sorry, I just said what I figured a doctor would tell you. I personally don't mention anything to my doctor but then again he knows about my eating disorders in the past (anorexia) so I think to them its a touchy subject.

If your gaining 6 pounds a week binging are you sure WW is helping you?

If your doctor is wise, s/he will suggest therapy as changes to the actual diet will not help until the binging is under control. I have binge eating disorder, however, I did not discuss it will my doctor but instead spent about a year with a therapist that specializes in eating disorders. I now only see my therapist about once every two or three months (I was going once weekly for a year) and I have been able to get my binging under control.

Good luck.
