I was in bed trying to go to sleep...I could not sleep and felt this urge to just go to the kitchen and eat. I argued with myself saying, …

About Me
My name is Amber and I am a personal fitness trainer and I am attending college to become a Registered Dietitian. The weirdest thing about it all: I am a compulsive eater, binge eater, or food addict...what ever you want to call it. I feel completely guilty and hypocritical. I was on DailyStrength.com a year or two ago for severe anxiety. I learned to cope and manage it and no longer felt like I needed DS. Now I have found myself having major issues with food. My step dad thinks the binging stems from my anxiety. I know most people don't take me seriously because I am not over weight, but the way I feel about food really takes a toll on me. I hope to find people who deal with the same issue and who actually know it is a problem.

Close Food Addiction
I don't know if I have a food addiction, but I am a binge eater. Once I start I can't stop, even if I am full to the brim about to puke, I keep eating. The thing about me is, I don't purge. I just eat and suffer. It's a vicious cycle. I feel extremely guilty about it and often try to hide it, so no one judges me. I feel awkward when I eat around people, like they know I am a binge eater.
Close Anxiety
I suffered from severe anxiety about a year ago. Since then I have felt like I was cured. I just took meds and my anxiety slowly went away. I have noticed lately some changes in my behavior. I started binge eating and gained 18 pounds in a year. I think my binge eating stems from my anxiety. I have recently been put back on anti-anxiety meds and have noticed my calm nature helps me to not binge. It is amazing how anxiety can come in different faces
Treatments
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- I feel like Klonopin saves me. It helped me tremendously a year ago. And today it is calming my binge eating. I love the stuff
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- It can be helpful to breath deep and clear your mind. I try to think it helps me :-)
