Does this sound like binge eating disorder?

I posted on here earlier and my post was removed, I think I may have said something about losing weight without intention of offending anyone, but I'm going to try again...

I am wondering if you think I have binge eating disorder. An example of an amount of food I will consume in a day is varied but I can eat a whole pizza, huge plates of french fries, multiple sandwiches and sodas in one day, mostly unhealthy things. I eat when I am bored or sad, and I hate eating in public, I always take my food to my room because I prefer to eat alone. I think about food a lot with plans to stop binging or to eat healthier that never materialize, and I often feel guilty regarding food when I compare myself to those who eat more regularly but I never change my ways. I never purge and I never starve myself. Could anyone give me your thoughts on what you think I might call my situation?

It sounds to me like you have an eating disorder, or possibly disordered eating. Either way, you should probably find a therapist who specializes in eating disorders and tell him or her what's going on. You should do this now before things get worse, and they can get worse fast, before you even realize it.

yep, i'm with dawgfan! if you're questioning it, then i strongly recommend talking to someone who specializes in eating disorders. regardless of whether you have one, you definitely have issues with food and it's making you unhappy, right? that alone is enough reason to get help. please talk to someone soon; i guarantee it'll make you feel better.
