Eating DO's: Work on self image/self esteem issues with a therapist experienced with cognitive behavior therapy for eating disorders. Prognosis is favorable with commitment to years of therapy.

Seek treatment: Binge eating disorder is treatable by a qualified professional who specializes in this issue. Therapy helps you identify the internal triggers that lead to the behavior rather than focusing on the food itself. In treatment you learn to respond to your thoughts and emotions in different ways, and often to change your relationship to both self and others. Also, see a medical doctor for a checkup.
