I binge eat, when i was a teenager i used to purge, the older i got i stopped the purging and the weight piled on. It was classed as an eating disorder when i was sick, but not now. Which makes no sense to me.

Tackling the reason behind the binging is key, it took me a while to realise why i did this. It all came down so low self esteem, i am trapped in a vicious circle. When i had my daughter i suffered with post natal depression, all i wanted was for me and my daughter to be left alone, so i ate and ate to deal with it all and all the family members suddenly appearing.

I can't pm yet as i am still a new member but feel free to add me as a friend x

I do hun. I was only ever "diagnosed" as bulimic but that was as a teenager when i purged. But i haven't purged for a long long long time and can't do it anymore anyway. I binge for different reasons now ... V.muchso because "im gonna be on a diet tomorrow so i better eat what i want" and that mentality goes on for weeks and weeks at a time because its always "tomorrow". I use food as a comfort, reward, pick me up, treat, celebration. I plan food treats. I am totally happy and content when Im eating (crap food) and planning all the sh*t i want to eat!

Am hoping that slim & save and meal replacement can help me take the emphasis away from food.

We can get thru this ... Food is just fuel, and we get all the fuel we need from slim and save xx
