View Full Version : Is this an eating disorder?

Over the past two months I have gained nearly 20lbs, going from 160 to 180lbs. Every day, I start out ok but inevitably end up eating extreme amounts of food; I usually feel fine as long as I dont eat, but as soon I do I simply cant seem to stop, especially in the evenings.

Part of the problem is that I never feel full, the other day, I ate an entire pizza from Pizza Hut along with breadsticks and still didnt fill even remotely full.

Is this an eating disorder? If so, what exactly can I do to deal with it?

Hi!

My name is Lynn and I've had an ED since I was 12, i'm 29 now and still struggling. Just a little background info. :)

Have you thought about going to see a doc??? You may not be comfortable with your family doc, but what about someone new, that doesn't know 'you or your family' that you can be open and honest with?

It sounds like binge eating, which is an eating disorder, but i'm not a doctor so please don't take that to heart. If I were you i'd go and talk to someone, a doctor, therapist, anyone who can help you. A dietician, anyone.
I don't know how old you are or if you have insurance or not to help off-set the costs, but i've found over my 18 year battle with aneroxia/bulimia that it really does help to talk with someone else, a professional, that can help you.
you just have to want to accept the help. that's the hard part.

i hope i could help in some small way!

good luck!

-Lynn
