Binge eating
I suffer from binge eating too and recently, I have started taking laxatives to 'get rid' of the food as quickly as possible. This is my only other alternative, as I hate vomiting. I don’t know what happens in the evening, but I just lose control and will binge on anything and everything.
I’m a size 12 and weigh (well, last time I checked) 10 and half stone. But I just feel like I’m too fat. I hate myself for binge eating and what it’s doing to my esteem. Sometimes, I only have to look in the mirror and just break down sobbing because I hate the way I look. Then I will go downstairs to the kitchen and binge on food to make me feel better, when in fact it does exactly the opposite.
My binge eating has got worse since I finished my A-level exams because now I eat due to boredom (because I have nothing to do) and stress (because of Results Day in the 16th Aug). It doesn’t help whenever I go out with friends and boyfriend because then we end up eating even more junk food.
I’m so ashamed of myself. I eat alone because I don’t want anyone to see how much food I have on my plate. And because I am so hungry, I eat like a pig and therefore do not want to eat in company when all I can think about is stuffing my face with food regardless of the mess I make
Food occupies my mind ALL THE TIME and it drives me crazy. When I wake up, the first thing I think about is food. So I have breakfast and count down the hours until lunchtime. After that, it’s the afternoon where I lose control. I crave sugar so will basically have a small meal, even though I don’t feel hungry. When dinner comes around, I am starving!
I hate my body shape but crave food at the same time. I have boobs and a bum and just wish that I was a size zero. It doesn’t help that all my friend s are stunning, but then again every group of friends has a person who has been whacked with the ugly stick and unfortunately, I’m that person. I’m not as brainy as A, not as pretty as B, not as confident as C, not as stylish as D and not as rich as E. When I binge, it blocks these feelings out.
I predict binge eating is going to get worse when I go to university in September. I can cook well but just feel like I am going to lose control completely.
Sorry, the post is so long, I just wanted to share my feelings and show people that they’re not alone and binge eating is a real eating disorder.

Firstly
. Secondly - binge eating DOESNT work. The body will have absorbed most of the nutrients and fats from the food before you actually purge plus you'll ruin your teeth and smile from the acid. Also relying on laxatives in the long run can cause your bowel movements to be un controlled and well it could end up very, very messy.If you want to lose weight, try a balanced diet accompanied with exercises that you can even just do in the comfort of your home like using a skipping rope or putting more effort into the things you do like walking to the shops etc.
I do think though that you should speak to someone about your problems may it be a counsellor when you get to university, connexions direct or even a member on TSR. If you want to talk privately about things PM me and hopefully we can talk a few things through and don't worry I myself have had problems with binge eating etc and hopefully I can pass on any information I have onto you

Ok. It sounds as if you have an eating disorder. Maybe you already suspect that. Binge eating can often lead to bulimia as a form of weight control but the binge eating itself generally signifies some deeper problem. Your eating habits sound like the symptom of some kind of mental distress. It sounds like you have low self-esteem (referring to friends as better than you) and are stressed. Taking laxatives is an eating disorder, it is classed as a form of bulimia along with vomiting, over-exercising and diuretics.
Binging is an incredibly effective way of blocking out feelings - like a drug, it brings on numbness, you're doing it like a machine, barely aware of the taste any longer. Most binge-eaters go for sugary or carb-loaded foods as these are psychologically the most satisfying. You have to view this as an addiction - chances are your body and mind have become addicted to food.
Laxatives are bad; very bad. Abusing laxatives or regularly over-using laxatives can leave you with a ruined digestive system. My therapist is in her 50's and has to take medication daily because of laxative abuse in her 20's. Thirty years after the fact and well after her eating disorder ended, she is still paying for what she did to herself. Also, laxatives are not effective at getting rid of calories - they work lower in the digestive system so digestion is almost over at the point the laxatives hit.
So... that was three things. You have a problem, you have a problem and you have a problem. I know that sounds harsh, but you're saying "binge eating is a real eating disorder" without referring to any type of help that you're getting. Believe me, now is the time to get help. I would recommend Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which is most recommended for people with eating disorders and irrational thoughts about themselves (i.e. body image).
I'm a hypocrite because I'm telling you this - I'm bulimic - I make myself sick 2-3 times per day, over-exercise and take laxatives. It sounds like you are very aware of your problem and why it is occuring and the feelings associated with it and I urge you to use those weapons to fight against it. All I know is that the longer you allow yourself to do this without seeking help, the harder it will be to get rid of. But I've found that CBT helps, as well as talking to your friends and family about the problem.
Seriously Do NOT USE LAXATIVES. A) It doesn't make you lose weight and B) Imagine this you wake up in the middle of the night in your own crap because that is what it does, be even worse you are spending a night with your boyfriend.
