I've eaten a whole bag of microwave popcorn, 2 packs of ramen, 6 sticks of string cheese, a package of mac and cheese (3.5 servings), order of cheesy bread sticks from pizza hut, 6 cookies, and a large bag of cinnamon pita chips (6 oz.). This was after dinner. I feel so full right now...I can barely breathe. I'm afraid that one day, I'm going to die in the middle of a binge (stomach rupture). That would suck.
Please, no lectures about me being an overweight, lazy, stupid person. I just have a problem with binge-eating. Yes, I exercise 5 times a week. I'm at a normal weight: 5'4" 117.8. No, I'm not starving msyelf so that I'm eating out of hunger. I just have a problem with bulimia. Do not lecture about that either...yes, yes, I'm getting help.
Serious question, so serious answers only please. I just want to know what your thoughts would be. Example: "That is disgusting." "She had no self-control"
Stuff like that.

I don't understand the condition so I'm not going to judge it. I am just glad you are getting help for it.

There is a medical condition whereby someone can eat themselves to death (I happen to see a CSI last week where that was one of the cases) but it seems that it is a rather rare condition. Something to do with the central nervous system not communicating the "full" message from your stomach to your brain correctly. If you feel that you might be suffering from this, you might want to contact your doctor so he can refer to you to a specialist.
The body's defense against overeating is of course, barfing...if you are too full, it should sense this and contract which of course is what you would expect.
Please don't wait too long. If you feel that you really have a problem - call today.

You really shouldnt be asking for comment like That is disgusting." "She had no self-control" expecially if your in recovery. thats not going to help you, thats going to throw you back into the bulimia cycle, when you have people tellign you that you eating to much or its gross and pathetic, which, its not. i binge eat all teh time.

My thoughts?? It's a treatable mental disorder.
PS....The over EATING isn't going to hurt you as much as the expulsion of it!!
