In reply to Therapist mentioned binge eating..., posted by Pandabear on February 24, 2004, at 20:46:19
Hi Pandabear,
I'm bulimic. Binging is disordered eating, but like Racer said it doesn't mean you have an eating disorder. I'm a purging bulimic, I know what triggers my binges.
Ask yourself these questions.
How often do I binge? Monthly? Weekly? Daily?
How long have I been binging? Years?
What's happening emotionally that might trigger a binge? (for me one of the triggers is failure.)
What do I think the binge will do for me: comfort, control, make me feel better (less depressed or stressed) etc.I'm pretty much in control these days, my last binge was a few months ago. My therapist just asks once and awhile "how my eating is."
Let me know if I can be of more help.
