About Me
I am in a pattern of restricting and exercising excessively during the week and bingeing once or twice on the weekends. It happens every weekend, with out fail and it is driving me crazy. I don't understand how I can be one extreme during the week and the complete opposite during the weekend. It's almost like I'm two different people.

Interests
All things health and fitness- I would love to become a personal trainer, nutritionist, or a holistic health specialist. I love to write and play the piano, go to the movies with my brothers, flip through magazines, and dream about the time in my life when I can finally spend all my days lazing on a beach

Two days in a row I binged- I knew exactly what I was doing while I was doing it, and I could have forced myself to stop, but I didn't. I'm …

Hey Chrisq19!!! Sorry I haven't gotten back to you but I really appreciated your sharing your story with me. It sounds like we have a lot in common excpet I can't lose the weight. I've only been able to do a couple of lbs and then it comes right back on. I've started excersizing everyday hoping that would motivate me to not binge but it hasn't. I think that I'm slowly beginning to feel hope. Sometimes it's barely there, but it's there and that's all that counts. Hope you are doing well and know that I am praying for you. I urge you to seek God for strength in your times of weaknesses because he is strong when we are weak!

Good Luck
Look on my profile. Best wishes!
Prayer
I'm thinking of you.
Prayer
Food is the worst drug. I feel for you and will pray for you.

Binge eating is incredibly stressful. It is really comforting to know there are other people on the path to balance.

Close Eating Disorders
At age 15 I became anorexic. It was an incredibly quick process- I began cutting out different food groups from my diet and excessively exercising and within 6 months I was 85 pounds (down from 120) and eating only a peach and a cup of yogurt each day. Desperate to get help I went to Remuda Ranch for 2 months and was able to recover. But since then I have struggled with binge eating. I hope to find some kind of balance and peace for my eating
Treatments
- Group Therapy Working / Worked
- I was in group therapy at Remuda Ranch and continued in another group once I returned home. This was probably the most beneficial resource for me after I came home because I had people supporting me who were going through the same things I was was going through
- Lexapro Not Working
- I have been on several different anti-depressants over the years and I do not think that any of them helped me at all. I have not taken any for the past two years and am happier now than before
- Prozac Not Working
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Remuda Ranch Working / Worked
- 7 months after I began my eating disorder, I went to Remuda. It is the only reason I am still here today. It is an intense combination of individual and group therapy as well as several classes regarding body image, nutrition, exercise, relapse prevention- even equine therapy. It is a Christian based facility. While there I was able to take the steps and utilize the tools they gave me to overcome anorexia.
- Zoloft Not Working

Over the past year I have become an exercise fanatic- sometimes taking it to the extreme. I usually stay in the gym for 2 hours 5 days a week- but sometimes my body gets worn down- then I skip a day or two and feel guilty. I also restrict during the week, but binge or overeat on the weekend- that just spurs me on to workout and restrict even more the next week...
