Overcoming Binge Eating
article by Dr. Linda Blakeley
Introduction
“I fought the binge for a few days but I knew I was going to do it over the weekend. I went to the store, bought my favorite junk food and ate until I thought I would die. I never went out the entire weekend.”
Rachel suffered from guilt and shame over her late night binges. After bingeing she felt confused and remorseful. Although Rachel graduated from college with honors, she was unsure of what she wanted to do.
She quit a number of entry level jobs in a variety of career fields. They all left her feeling dissatisfied. She had few friends and rarely dated.
Her story is all too familiar. Women struggling with a Binge Eating Disorder (BED) are robbed of their self esteem and self confidence often preventing them from having satisfaction in both their professional and personal lives.
From an early age, I struggled with binge eating myself. As a clinical psychologist, eating disorder specialist for over fifteen years and national speaker, my mission is to assist women find inner peace and self love, to help them identify their unique voices so they can create a solid foundation for their lives and for the lives of their children.
