How do i know if i have binge eating disorder?
September 1st, 2010
Heyy i’m not sure if i have binge eating disorder, i learned about it in health class but i was too shy to ask for more information on it, well im 13 im 5’5 and i weigh 245. I eat when im bored, for breakfast ill have cereal and a p-b and j sandwich for lunch ill have ice cream or a nutty bar with something like chips n’ cheese or pizza or noodles, for dinner ill have ice cream, p-b and j, noodles, and cereal. Im a very picky eater, but i do eat at least 3-5 P-b and j sandwiches a day and that and maybe 2 bowls of ice cream. i eat AT LEAST 6 times a day. if you do think i have binge eating disorder what can i do to get help? I want to ask my mom for super weight loss pills but im scared too, and does binge eating give you crazy moods, like being depressed, jealous, and angry all the time? i am on welbutrin, and at times i do have suicidal thoughts. and can being over weight make you not have your periods? as i said im 13 and i get it about 2 times a Year., please help me out here? :c
Im vegetarian by the way xD
Binging is when you eat TONS of food at one sitting until you are so stuffed you feel sick. If you eat food spread out over the day, you probably don’t have a binge eating disorder.
However, you are eating too much. I’m sure you know that. You are also eating the wrong stuff. Everything you list is straight carbohydrates. They turn to sugar really fast when they are digesting, and any sugars you don’t burn off with exercise turns right into fat.
You should talk to your Mom, and maybe a school nurse or something. You have to change the way you eat: more fruit, veggies and protein like chicken.
Being overweight can make your period irregular. Yup. Of course, you’re only 13, so it can be irregular anyway.
And eating a lot of carbs like that can affect your moods as well. Also, being overweight and maybe picked on or discluded from activities can make you depressed as well.
Before you get older and end up with diabetes or other health problems, you need to change your eating habits and start being more active now.
Best of luck, hon!
