Ever feel like your life is out of control? Are you exhausted and anxious? Has food become your escape?

If so, you need to know more about BINGE EATING DISORDER and how to start getting your life back. Your inability to control yourself around food is destroying your health, your relationships, and your life.
You often find yourself exhausted and anxious about everything you have to accomplish in a day. You end up in front of the refrigerator finding food that will give you the feeling of satisfaction, control, and comfort that you desperately need.
BINGE EATING HAS BECOME THE INSTANT FIX TO EVERY PROBLEM YOU FEEL. But this quick fix has a price, and you know you need to stop binging, but you feel helpless to stop yourself.
YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO CONTROL YOURSELF AROUND FOOD AND TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE.
If you have Binge Eating Disorder, you’re not alone! About 2.8 million people have been diagnosed with Binge Eating Disorder, making it the most common eating disorder in the United States.
Not everyone with Binge Eating Disorder is obese or overeats every day. Some just binge occasionally, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a problem.
According to the Eating Disorders Coalition, at least one person dies as a direct result from an eating disorder every 62 minutes.
It’s crucial to learn that food cannot solve your problems. Always remember…
”Food can distract you from your pain. But food cannot take away your pain.” -Karen Salmansohn

This is a weird one to rate really. It was very emotional and it was invaluable in parts. It made me feel a lot of things. The beginning especially where the author was discussing her personal journey was a Lot. The idea of tracking binges and how you feel around them is something i will carry with me for the rest of my life. However, i definitely had issues with a lot of it too which makes it hard to rate. The author is taking the way she personally recovered and kind of saying its the only true way to do it lol. Like you HAVE to do yoga or you will always have BED felt way too simplistic. Instead of being like "it might take some time to find what works for you" it was like "it might take some time to find which TYPE OF YOGA works for you" lmao
It was also very anti diet which i dont love. Although intuitive eating is one lifestyle choice, its not the only option available to us. I absolutely loved the ending and how she talked about learning to enjoy food and deal with outside comments on her appearance. Overall, I agree wholeheartedly with the idea that you have to work on the triggers as opposed to the behaviours in order to create long lasting change, but some of the specifics didnt ring true to me.
I found this title on a list of “the top books about eating disorders” and it was quite a disappointment. At best it could have been a high-school essay around the matter.
the content of the book doesn't really answer the problem advertised on the title. The methods suggested gave me a " beating around the bush " feeling, but the global idea is great, and being able to sympathize with another person leaving through the same struggles was something that i've never been able to experience so, that is something I have to give the author credits for.
