Why start a blog about binge eating? Well, there are several reasons. The first is that I struggled with binge eating disorder (BED) for years before I even knew my problem had a name! Like many with BED I felt alone and hopeless. Although I am a pretty disciplined person I couldn’t break the cycle of binging and depression. I also had low self esteem, and I was in an endless cycle of:

binge -> depression -> weight gain -> low self esteem -> binge

I searched high and low for solutions. I sought out professionals, read every book I could get my hands on, and tried and failed dozens and dozens of times. I’m not completely done yet, but I have found things that work and I am on the road to recovery. Do you want to walk with me while I want to share what I’ve learned with you and others who are suffering.

I’ll warn you that there is no quick-fix. I’m not peddling some kind of diet pill or any other product. What I do know it’s nearly impossible to win under this kind of problem on your own. But I’m doing it, and I wouldn’t want to do it on my own again!

Everyone needs help at some point, and if you can learn just one or two things from all of the mistakes I made then this blog will be worth the effort.
