A member asked:
Could i have ruined my body by binge eating for so long?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not ruined: It is not possible to "ruin" your body, but binging could cause some serious health issues and if you are also purging that can create other health problems. Eating disorders are based on body image distortion. You should see a psychiatrist who can help you get some therapy and possibly start you on medication which may help.
