Fad dieting is not healthy for anyone, but when you have binge eating disorder, fad dieting can be a symptom of your binge eating disorder and do serious damage to your mind and body. Almost everyone in the United States, at some point, has been on a fad diet. They are so ubiquitous in popular culture that very few have escaped the allure of the quick-fix fad diet, especially those with binge eating disorder.

When you have binge eating disorder you sometimes might find yourself overeating. There are certain times, such as holidays, celebrations, or events when overeating is part of tradition. But when you have binge eating disorder, you overdoing it is not the same as an average person overeating.

I write a lot for people who have binge eating disorder, but how do you support someone with binge eating disorder? Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast answers. Everyone is an individual who is going to have their own needs and desires. But being respectful, listening, and not judging will be the key to understanding mental illness from your loved one's point of view. How to support someone with binge eating disorder is a very personal matter.

I've recently encountered a new form of body shaming and this time, it's body shaming of my old binge eating disorder body (No Body Is Perfect: Body Image and Shame). When you have an eating disorder, like binge eating disorder, it can drastically impact how your body looks. At the height of my eating disorder I was 315 pounds and a size 24. I'm now around 210 pounds and a size 14. Needless to say, I look very, very different these days. Recently, I got into a conversation with someone who felt it was appropriate to act as if I am a different person and body shame this older version of me (Binge Eating Disorder And Body Shaming).

Pick up any magazine, surf to any pop culture website or look at any advertisement and it's inevitable that you will see articles and photos and lists about how to have an awesome beach body. There will be pictures of celebrities on the beach. Some photos will be laden with praise for how hot they look in their suits. Others will have body parts circled to point out imperfections (Binge Eating Disorder and Body Shaming). In a culture where no body is perfect enough and every body is up for debate, it leaves one wondering how you can have this mythical, awesome beach body.

There are always going to be unexpected effects from anything, but there can be some unexpected effects from gastric sleeve weight loss surgery. Whether you get it to help you deal with binge eating disorder or not, this surgery will have a huge impact on what you eat, how you eat, and many other parts of your life. Here are some of the unexpected effects from gastric sleeve surgery.

I recently had someone question me as to why I write about binge eating disorder when all I have in relation to binge eating disorder is personal experience. I'm not a doctor, an eating disorders expert, a binge eating disorder therapist or a sociologist. So why should anyone listen to me when I talk about binge eating disorder? I asked them, "Would you rather be in the passenger's seat with someone who has studied driving for 12 years or someone who has been driving for 12 years?" I have binge eating disorder personal experience.

I talk about a lot of sad things related to binge eating disorder on my blog, but this post is about a binge eating recovery victory. I turn 30 on September fifth, and I want to wear a dress for my birthday dinner. But not just any dress. A dress I've been waiting to wear for 6 years. And on September fifth, I'm going to wear it.

Someone recently asked me what the low point was of my binge eating disorder. Why did I seek help for a problem that I had had for years? What was the final straw? Immediately, I knew exactly what it was. Here is the low point of my binge eating disorder.

Be willing to fight for your body when it comes under attack from negative comments, whether you have binge eating disorder or not. No one lives in a vacuum where hearing a negative comment about their body is such a rare and strange occurrence that offense can barely register because of the bizarre nature of the statement. I've heard enough negative feedback about my body to last me a lifetime. And now, if you want to say something negative about my body, any part of my body, prepare for me to say something back. Negative comments with binge eating disorder should be fought.
