Question by Abby: i think i have a binge eating disorder but my parents don’t believe me?
I don’t purge or starve myself. I just don’t eat a lot sometimes, and my parents think that I’m starving myself, but I’m really not. and I tell them over and over again. And at dinner and sometimes during the day i have the compulsive urge to eat even when I’m full and this has happened a lot, and sometimes i have the urge to eat healthy things or plain sugar. and i tell myself “i’m full i don’t need to eat anymore” but i cant control myself and i always feel awful afterward. this has been going on for about 2-3 months now, and i exercise but i haven’t felt like it in the past 2 days. I plead to my parents and tell them I need help but they don’t believe me and it’s “normal” just b/c I’m a teen and that I’m depriving my body but honestly I don’t!!! I eat a good breakfast and lunch and they see me eat dinner I eat so much and I eat a lot afterward. At first I used to over eat but healthily afterward now I just binge on sugar and carbs. I’m not overweight at all but I’m not skinny either, and I’m a teen but i don’t think this is normal i think i need help b/c i don’t know when to stop and I’m afraid I’ll gain weight. what do i do??!!

You do sound like a binge eater. Eventually, if you do this a lot, will will start to gain weight. Keep telling your parents until they get you help because you dont have to live like this. You can get control over yourself with the right kind of help.

i used to have a problem with this…now not really..and when i bing it was cheating off my diet, not just normally everyday, but yes, talk 2 ur parents, if they are anything like mine, they will not understand one bit and dont care at all about my problems anyway, but try to atleast tell them.
Yes that is pretty dangerous because it leads to bulimia. Accountability is really good, maybe you could talk to your doctor or a psychologist about it if your parents aren’t listening. Or if you have any really close trustworthy friends that you could talk to. But honestly, it sounds like maybe there is a heart problem behind your actions. Is there anything going on in your heart that eating is covering up?
Try asking Jesus to help you. He wants to heal us from disorders like that and He has healed me truly from many things. Some similar to your situation.
I hope this helps. Jesus will.
