how can binge eating disorder be treated? I need urgent help... thank you all!!?

Question

has anyone ever been cured from this disease and how?

Answer 1

This is a disease that is not "curable". It is, however, managable, and that's really all you can hope for. I've been managing mine for a few years now and its hard, but getting easier. Here are some of the ways I finally stopped binge-ing:

When you feel an eating binge coming on, try to get out of the room where the food is and try to get your mind on another thing. Try playing a word or numbers game - like Soduko. [They have tons of free Sudoko games online and they are addictive!]. You could also try watching a movie that you KNOW will keep your mind involved [this can be hard] or calling up a friend and chatting or even going out.

You can also drink a LARGE cup of ice water. This will fill your stomach up and try and help your body remember that it is not hungry.

If you are very, very disciplined, when you feel a binge coming on, try to have just a tiny, tiny bit of whatever it is you really want. For instance, if you want to eat an entire package of Oreos eat JUST ONE. Denying the urges can sometimes make the desire to binge happen more frequently, but it can also be very hard to stop eating once you have started.

Also, if you only eat half the pack of oreos or half the bag of chips - or even just a few of them! - but now the open box is taunting you [I don't know if this happens to you, but it used to always happen to me!], THROW THE REST OF THEM OUT. It sounds wastful, and it is, but better the trash get it then you, right? Also, if you have chips or cookies or other binge foods in your house unopened, make sure they stay that way. If you feel like binging on them, just think - do I REALLY want to open that whole new container?

Above all else, do NOT get down on yourself when this happens. Making yourself feel depressed or otherwise low can actually make you want to eat more. Remind yourself that you are a very important person and you do not need this food. If you feel like you don't care, remind yourself how special and unique you are. It sounds corny, but it can really help.

I really hope at least some of this helped. Good luck!

I dealt with the same problem for 2 years. Here is what I did, and what might help you.

Stop while you're ahead. You couldn't help yourself. You stopped at the mall and bought a five-pound box of chocolates. Now, you and the chocolates are home alone.

Throw them out. And while you're at it, take a walk or call a friend so that you can think about something else.

Toss the goodies. Too late? Already ate half the box? Throw out the rest.

Record your indulgences. Even if you've just eaten the whole box of goodies, it's not too late to do something about the binge, says Somer. Write down what triggered the binge, so that you can figure out what to do differently next time.

Stave off nighttime binges. On its simplest level, binge eating at night is often brought on by starving all day. Eat a sensible breakfast and lunch, and you're less likely to clean out your refrigerator at night.

Savor something spicy. Hard as you try, you just can't binge on chili peppers and Tabasco sauce. In fact, spicy foods fill you up faster than bland or sweet foods, and they may even help burn calories faster.

Do something complicated--and constructive. Take your mind away from your forbidden food by focusing on something that takes all your concentration, like the Sunday crossword puzzle. Once your mind is engaged in a task that you enjoy and must pay attention to, you're less likely to be fixated on food.

Wait. If you feel the urge to binge, set the kitchen timer for 15 minutes and try to figure out what's going on. Is anger or depression or anxiety making you want to stuff yourself with candy bars? If so, try to figure out why you feel so upset.

Ask for help. Women almost always binge alone. With friends, you'd be able to talk out your feelings instead of eating them away.

So if you're feeling down, and you're about to raid the refrigerator, call a friend first.

Forgive yourself. You didn't start bingeing overnight, and you won't be able to stop that quickly either. Each small step that you take away from bingeing will help you feel better about yourself, but it can take a few years to change your behavior completely.

Forgive yourself in advance for slip-ups. And just remember, to succeed, the trick is to try and try again.

you need to calm down. attempt to learn no to circulate to extremes on each and every theory you have. thinking the way you do won't make you chuffed no count number how lots weight you lose. ingesting 9000 energy or 4 hundred energy an afternoon is amazingly risky. how are you able to have not have been given any pals yet those non-existent pals ask you to return out? you need to resign ranting and take a seat nonetheless and quiet for an hour an afternoon with your back right this moment, your eyes closed, no music, no television on, no historic past noise. Empty your strategies and picture in regards to the interest no longer something. think of being in area - floating. yet think of there are no stars. observing too lots junk television and reading too lots junk in magazines has made you this sort. whilst classified ads come on television, turn the television over or provide up observing television altogether for a pair of months.

I have heard of an operation consisting of tightening the intestine, I think what they do is put a special type of elastic and for example around to tube to tighten it, which apparently doen't make you want to eat as you don't feel hungry!
ask your doctor about it, I don't know whether the NHS cover this, unless it was urgant as you were massively over weight from this eating disorder!
I know that my grandad was thinking about it, but is was going to pay for this op, as he has the money to!
But he knows a person who las an incredible amout in such short time of having this op done!
Good luck!

Seek Medical Help!

Answer 6

find a counsler or just dont eat as much. my sister told me this one time at kings to stop eating so much bread and drinking water because when you eat bread and then drink water, the bread expands in your stomach, making you feel fuller. you could keep a diary of every time you ate something and why or you could find something to do to keep your mind off eating. but other than that you should seek help from a proffesional.
