Binge Eater Discovery

A post just came in to my eating disorder recovery discussion board on www.poppink.com. The poster was shocked in her discovery that she is a binge eater. She is now looking for help.

I hope you can appreciate my gladness at her discovery. I’m not happy that someone has any form of an eating disorder. But when a person discovers that she does have an eating disorder that discovery is good news.

Now she has an opportunity to stop criticizing herself about her weakness, bad character, and all the other horrible and relentless judgments she makes about herself. Once she knows she has an illness, a disorder with a name, she can begin to look for guidance in her recovery work.

She can stop the endless pain of trying to do what doesn’t work and begin her path to health and freedom from those debilitating binges.
