hiya i know how u feel about the binge eating. Binge eating is when you eat large quantaties of food that u dont actually need. im different than binge eating. i comfort eat (it is different) this is what i would normally eat in a day and this is the FIRST time im admitting this so please dont be mean :)

breakfast

i try to skip brekfast if i can cause i have  thyroid problem and b4 i knew i had it i used to eat breakfast and then have to immeadiately throw up! my body just couldnt cope with food in the morning. and now i wasnt making myself throw up so it wasnt bulimia. but i have bad memories with breakfast so i try not to eat it.

lunch

sandwich

apple

water

 

dinner

depends my familys quite healthy so probs stir fry or something.

 

after shool and my parents dont know... crisps chocolate sweets whatever i bought in that shop that day, every day!

 

so i dont know if u hav an eating disorder or not but if u think u do try and cut down on the snacks such as cookies etc. 3 meals a day and plenty of water! tea is great (u mean the drink tea right?) it doesnt harm u and is basically water! i now have an ED because of my comfort eating (comfrot eating is an ED to but i have bulimia) so try not to get to where i am now! ED are hard to understand even if u have one or did have one! so talk 2 someone or keep talking here!

Hope i helped

hi :)
looking at the food you consume in a day
im thinking wow, thats hardly anything hahaha
i think you over eat, not binge. there is a stark
difference, with over eating you eat the same kinda amount
every day and its varies but not drasticly. you just have  a bit more
than the next person who maybe only eats 1 carrot a day.
a binge is a private,secretive ritual whereby somebody
consumes hundreds/thousands of calories in under 2 hours
a binge eater often feels out of control and is then hit by
waves of guilt. depending on which disorder, a bulimic person
would then purge the food or a binge-eater would then eat some
more to comfort themselves of the guilt.
confusement !
i am a bulimic, its quite a recent thing but it's very powerful
i dont think you have anything to worry about hun
if you feel a bit sluggish, maybe cut back and exercise
but i think you're NORMAL ! what a compliment :) x

Hiya i am completely the same. i am 10st and only 11. i eat really unhealthily but i just don't like healthy food. its not my fault.

My diet is:

Toast

Pizza or Pasta or Sandwich with a biscuit

Tea (varys)

Packet of crisps

Toast (again)

But on a weekend, I scoff chocolate and endless packets of crisps.

I am starting to crash-diet. I wont go anorexic, I just wanna be slim. And pretty.

i completely agree! this is the first time it feels like anyone knows how i feel.. i binge all the time like this .. whenever i can.. i go crazy out of controll .. i feel mad.. i hate it .. but i keep going to try and punish myself.. then i have to secretly purge because when my mum finds out she gets so angry and doesnt sleep all night.. instead she researches more and more about bulimea which makes her more scared.. thing is she nearly always catches me coz she's now got this obsession and cleans the loos everyday!
