Why don't the new psychology books list binge eating disorder or compulsive overeating disorder in them? I was disappointed that my psychology book, published last year, didn't mention COE/BED. Instead it stuck with the stereotypical anorexia/bulimia route and had the classic picture of some emaciated girl pushing food away. Why is this? I mean, the two disorders I listed are gaining more and more credibility, yet they're not being included in the "About Eating Disorders" section of textbooks.

Can a fat person have an eating disorder? I think I have compulsive eating disorder but im not sure? I am a 21 year old girl and I weigh 230 lbs. I was already over 200 lbs when I was 12 years old. I have just discovered thses things called compulsive eating disorder and binge eating disorder. I think I may have both, but its hard for me to believe that as a fat person I can have an eating disorder. I always thought that I am just a big, fat, weak-willed person and thats why I'm fat. I have been taking note for the past few days and I've noticed that I do have almost a relfexive, automatic urge to eat. Yesterday I counted that I walked into the kitchen and opened the refridgerator about 25 times without actually being physically hungry. A couple of times I actually came to my senses and asked myself "What am I doing here?" because opening the refridgerator was so automatic that I didnt even realize I was doing it. Also, sometimes when my mom buys food and stocks up the refridgerator I eat everything thats in there in one day, even if that means eating 4 or 5 meals in just a few hours. Then I feel really guilty. Ive had these issues for a while but didnt realize how abnormal it was till a few days ago when i started reaading about eating disorders. I know I have a really messed up relationship with food but is that an eating disorder? I feel guilty whenever I eat anything, healthy or not, and i dont like eating in public. I never even ate lunch all through middle school or high school. I literally didnt eat lunch at school for 7 years because i didnt want to be the fat girl eating. I dont want to be overdramatic and say I have an eating disorder as a fat person, but is it really possible?
do i have a compulsive eating disorder? i am 16 and i think i have a compulsive eating disorder or something wrong with me.

My sister is anorexic and she makes me feel fat when she doesn't eat and i do. and its really hard for me because everyone in my family is either trying to gain weight or lose it. And it takes me forever to get full and i eat so fast that i forget what i have eatten and i eat until its comming up my throat because once i start it is hard to stop. I down a whole batch of brownies, then go for the cheesecake if i see it. I hate myself after wards and i usually skip a meal the next day or excersise alot. please help. i don't think this is normal....
I think i have an obsessive compulsive eating disorder, I can't stop eating when I babysit! Help me stop! plz!? I think i have an obsessive compulsive eating disorder, I can't stop eating when I babysit or when I'm not with my boyfriend, and we're together all the time, those times when we aren't together I binge eat and eat everything. When I go babysitting I eat all of their food in their house, I'll see mac and cheese so i'll make it or oreos or cool lunch snacks you knoww, gushers and fruit rollups, rice krispie treats, all the good stuff. And then we'll usually order pizza or eat ice cream or popcorn...ahh just everything. How do i control it?? I babysit at least 5x a week. and the money is too good to stop. So what should I do? I wanna lose 20-25 pounds by thanksgiving. excersize ideas are welcome! thanks. i am 22 years old, so my parents don't need to know that won't help my problem. and it's easier to say "get some control," than it really is.
Do you have a compulsive eating disorder if you gain weight? If you fluctuate in weight each year by 10 lbs(OF FAT)..does it mean you automatically have a complulsive eating disorder? For instance, if you are 5'5 and weigh 125 lbs part of the year and the other part you weigh 135 lbs..does this automatically mean you have a compulsive eating problem? I am 5'5 and about 130 lbs now..but each summer I lose about 10 lbs...and then during the school year I gain about 10 lbs and then lose it, etc. Is this normal? ie: I will keep clothes in sizes 4 and 6...because I fluctuate between them.
How much food/ how many calories eat a day would be a sign of having compulsive eating disorder? I think I might have compulsive eating disorder, because I fit some of the symptoms for Something Fishy (a website on eating disorders. Out of their symptoms list, these apply to me: Fear of not being able to control eating, and while eating, not being able to stop. Isolation. Fear of eating around and with others. Holding the belief that life will be better if they can lose weight. Self-defeating statements after food consumption. Blames failure in social and professional community on weight. Weight gain. Mood swings. Depression. Fatique Insomnia/ Poor sleeping habits There are about 18 symptoms total, but these are the ones that apply to me. I have hypothyroidism, which causes me to gain weight so I only eat about 2,000 Calories or less a day but I have trouble controlling my eating especially around sugar and carbs. I'm a teenager, so naturally my weight problem lowers my self esteem because I can rarely find cute clothes than fit and all my friends are >140 lbs.
I am a recovered anorexic and i think i have developed compulsive eating disorder, what can i do to recover? I had anorexia about two years ago but recovered, however have never really gotten a healthy relationship with food back. Now i think i have compulsive over eating disorder...food is constantly on my mind, with me always trying to lose weight yet miserably failing. I always end up overeating and feel absolutely guilty whenever this happens. I have massive binges, followed by throwing up, however i am not bulimic because my weight is 64kg at 5'7. Does this sound like compulsive overeating disorder? If so, what can i do to control it and recover. I'm 16 and don't want to go to a parents/doctor because i feel highly embarassed about this topic. Thank u
If you have an eating disorder, what is the most common thought that runs through your mind? I've been wondering for a while - mainly about anorexia and bulimia (though I would be interested to find out about those with compulsive eating disorder and the like). Do you think about food all day, do you completly forget about food, do you think about exercising or purging or binging or how to avoid people or what? If you could also state how long you've had your ED for, that would also be helpful as I think that makes a big difference in your thought pattern. Also, how does everyone else react to being hungry or full relative to their ED? Because I've read up alot on this but I've found that some of it when applied to real life just doesn't seem true to me so I would like to find out what the truth really is. I'd really appreciate non-textbook answers, more real-life. Also, one thing I forgot to put in the question, how do you feel after you binge/eat accidently?

Compulsive Eating Disorder: I wrote this letter for my prospective psychiatrist. (long).? I am nearly 20lbs heavier than I was one year ago. I can’t really remember when the binge eating began exactly, but it was around last spring. It’s progressively getting worse, and I want to stop it before serious issues occur. It’s hard for me to concentrate on ANYTHING except for food. Even when I’m doing things that I once loved, I think about food. Some examples would be: when I’m at cheerleading practice, I think about what I’m going to eat for dinner. When I’m in my classes, I think about food the entire time. I think about all the foods I want, the foods I can’t have, and then how miserable I am with or without the food. When I am with my boyfriend, I think about how I can’t wait until I can leave, so that I can stuff my face in privacy. When I’m at family get-togethers, I dread going because I worry too much about the unhealthy food and desserts that will be there. I don’t even want to go to lunch with my friends, because I’m afraid of tempting myself to binge. When I’m in front of people, I don’t binge eat; however, once they leave – I put whatever I can in my mouth. When I’m in my dorm room with my roommate, I’ll simply do my homework and whatnot Once she goes to the bathroom, or to class, I’ll scavenge for food in the room that I can eat. I’ll go grocery shopping on the weekends, for healthy snacks to bring to food (granola bars, 100-calorie packs, yogurt…ETC), yet, when I’m left alone, I’ll get the urge to eat as much as I possibly can. When I binge eat, I eat until I am uncomfortable. Monday-Friday, while at college, I think about all the foods I’m going to hoard when I get home, and it scares me. I’ll tell myself “not this weekend, Bridgette,” but once I get home, I immediately give in. I go to the gym 4 days a week, and run at least a mile each time. I feel that going to the gym is only delaying the process of me gaining more weight. I’ve tried so many things to control my problem. I’ve tried listening to audio tapes to help me relax and keep my mind off of things. I’ve made flashcards with positive messages on them, trying to encourage myself to make better choices. Before eating, I’ve tried to stop myself by asking why I really am eating this. I’ve tried eating small, but more meals per day – but I somehow screw it up. I used to be happy with my body, and now, I avoid looking in the mirror. I used to dress up every day, and now, all I feel like wearing is sweatpants. I’ve made up so many excuses for my weight gain; I want to be able to pinpoint the cause for my compulsive eating issue, and figure out a way to correct it. I want to enjoy life outside of the refrigerator.

I have compulsive eating disorder. Who can help me.? I have a serious problem here. I binge eat. I think about food 24/7. I can't enjoy ANYTHING anymore. Things that I once found enjoyable, just aren't. For example, I love cheer leading, but when I'm at practice, I think about what I'm going to eat at dinner. I love my college courses; however, throughout the classes, all I think about is what food I can get my hands on. When I'm with my loving boyfriend, I can't wait to leave, so that I can binge in my privacy. I understand that I MUST have a psychological disorder! I am actually a Psych major, too! I am so good with helping people, yet I fail to help myself! I plan on attending over eaters anonymous, or try to at least. I also want to get some professional help! Should I call some Psychiatrist around my area, to see which ones can help me?

Does this weight gain make sense or do I have a compulsive eating disorder? I used to weigh 118 lbs when I limited my caloric intake and did heavy exercise every day of the week. I began to cut back on the exericise..only exercising 4 times a week..and eventually only 3 times a week. I also began to allow myself to eat foods that I had not allowed myself to have..such as cheese and peanut butter(b/c I had thought they were too fattening). Then the holidays came and I ate more than I usually do. Then I injured my foot badly and was pretty much in bed for a month..and my workouts have not been that strenuous lately. I now weigh about 132 lbs...and I am 5'5. Is this weight gain understandable?..or do you think I have an overeating disorder. Most people tell me that they don't even notice I've gained weight and some say it looks like I gained maybe 5 lbs. I can tell I've gained weight. My thighs have grown exactly 3 inches larger and so has my waist actually--it went from 26 in to 29 in. Now that my foot is getting better I'm going to get back to normal....but I may not weight 118 lbs again. I'll be happy with about 125 actually.

CED (Compulsive Eating Disorder)? How Do You Beat It......I'm Desperate To Know If You Can?
I have a Compulsive eating disorder and my parents aren't helping? I eat because of depression and stuff and it makes me feel a bit better. plus i think that i'm also addicted to food. I can't control my cravings and i can't say no to them. I eat all the time and feel so guilty after. My parents wont stop buying all this junk food. they say there are others living in this house too and it can't be all about me. but they don't understand that all this junk food and highcalorie food is just making it worse for me. I hate myself so much and they know that i'm going through a really hard time. But its like they don't really care. What should i do? i'm 16 It seems like when we're running low on food that it makes it a bit more easy on me.

Bulimia and Anorexia? Is it possible I have an eating disorder? I was diagnosed w. anorexia when I was nine. I am now 15. I was never skinny, nor am I now. I believe that I am slighty overweight. 5'5, 150 lbs. I later picked up bulimia and compulsive eating disorders. Compulsive-eat a lot then diet. I lose weight drastically and then I will gain it back and then do it all over again. I throw up quite a bit and I eat a lot coming on to my period and maybe a week after. I'm anorexic if I am extremely upset or I see skinny people that I am jealous of. I don't really know if it's an eating disorder, I am only calling it by these names because I don't know what else to call it. It goes in cycles. I will go six months being relatively healthy, not doing any of these things for that long then they will start up again. I feel like if I really had an eating disorder these problems would be constant and I would be a lot thinner. What is this? Is it really an eating disorder? Please help! P.S. I also have Body Dysmorphic Disorder and panic attacks. How is it an eating disorder though? I don't do it constantly, in my story I wrote that I do it in cycles...I'll go a while without doing any eating disorder behavior. Plus, I am not skinny. I would think that if I had an eating disorder for 6 years I would be really thin. There are girls who I know that have had one for 1 year and are REALLY thin, but I am not at all. I don't get it!

Please help? anyone else knows how this feel? anyone win over this battle?
I have a compulsive eating disorder, what should I do? I used to have a pretty average weight for my body type before I got really stressed/depressed after my first love dumped me. Everything went downhill and I became very depressed and emotional. That's when I started turning to food for comfort (although I didn't realize back then). For two years I've been binge eating and eating basically everything I get my hands on. Of course it wasn't all because of my ex. Everything just seemed to be going wrong and against me, which led my eating disorder to become even worse more over time. Noticing how I've gained weight, I have actually tried dieting to lose weight, but one mistake led me back to the start. I have been dieting on and off which has actually made things worse. Now I feel like it's impossible to go on a diet and It's driving me crazy how I have no self control when it comes to eating. It's taking over my life and it is actually stressing me out even more. I was actually considering seeing a therapist, but I am poor and I don't want it to be some lame thing where they don't help at all. Cause I hear that therapists don't even help and all they do is talk. But the thing is, I know what's wrong with me, I KNOW why I'm eating like this, and what started it all but that's just not enough. I need something that can actually help me and change my eating lifestyle back to the way it was for good. I am sick of all this rollercoaster and it actually makes me feel like throwing up everything i eat. which is also terribly bad. If anyone can help me that would really make things so much better.
