My therapist says it isonly Bulimia if I amthrowing up to lose weight. Usually I throw up when I use junk food to calm my anxiety. 4 tiems this week but not at all for the month before that.

I guess it doesn't matter if there is a label forit or not. I know it is bad for me

In binge eating disorder, the person will eat non stop and uncontrollably for a long period of time. It can last anywhere from 15 minutes to sometimes over an hour. The person will eat a much larger portion than what society would deem as normal. Also, they tend to eat foods high in carbs, sugars and fat while they are on the binge. Lastly, there usually is feelings of guilt or shame not long after bingeing. Uncontrollability is key here.

I don't know what eating disorder I have. I only have a cup of tea for breakfast and then don't eat till 4:30 when I get home from school. Sometimes I might snack off a friends sweets if they have some. Then when I get home I would eat a sandwhich and biscuits an hour before dinner and I usually feel full and sick after diner. Sometimes I wouldn't snack before diner but still feel sick after. Then before bed I'd have more tea and a couple of biscuits maybe. I don't drink much else than 3 cups of tea. And on weekends I mainly eat sweets tI'll I feel sick hich isn't even a lot. I've no concentration and am falling behind in school. My weight hasn't changed which is good though.

I am a chronic binge eater.

Whenever i name it to my goal weight with exercise and healthy eating habits i eventually go right back to my old ways or eating larger portions of food that are bad for me.

I even started back tod drinking pop with most of my meals whereas before I could go weeks/months without even touching pop.

My weight goes up and down my 10-15 lbs which isn't the most flattering when you're short in stature.

I keep telling myself that when I get to my goal weight I will finally be happy and content.

What I find is when I get to my goal I notice that I'm still not happy or confident. I still feel as unattractive as before. So I begin to uncontrollably stuff my face again and slack on my workout routine and feel sad and frustrated with myself.

This is something I have also been struggling with lately. I have always had the predisposition to overeat, however since l started taking Lexapro for anxiety I have noticed an increase in binge eating. I don't throw up, sometimes I feel like I would feel better if I did though. I've gained so much weight 60-70 lbs in the last 18 months or so. And I can't seem to stay on a diet to try to get the weight off.
