Binge eating help?: There are effective eating disorder treatments these days! And binge eating disorder is an eating disorder, just like anorexia or bulemia. Common therapies include medication and psychotherapy (especially behavior therapy, mindful eating). The therapy component will be very important, but you can do it! You're worth it!

Recovery is possible: BED is way of resolving a internal conflict through physical action. People think they are triggered by food but actually are triggered by emotions that lead to bingeing. They binge to numb, distract or comfort themselves. To stop, you must seek treatment to identify what's eating "at" you instead of focusing on what you're eating, and find new ways to respond to yourself. Recovery is possible
