Search Results: binge eating disorder

I told my neighbor about my binge eating in confidence a few years ago. Besides her and a couple co-workers, my trainer, and psychiatrist, no one knows I used to binge eat, not even my own parents.

Her mom and aunt came up here this week (are still here) to visit. I met them and they're all really nice, but when they were eating dinner, she was telling them how much I eat and that I eat a lot, telling them I eat a whole pizza for one meal and saying that she could never eat as much as me and all the pop I used to drink and laughing about it. She knows I struggle with it and it's a way of my dealing with my bi-polar disorder, but I haven't binged in months because I'm trying to lose weight and I've already lost 13 pounds. I weigh about 168, 169 now and she easily is about 200-210. We're both 5'3. I wear a size 10 jeans and she wears I think a 14 or 16. She then told them I did it because of my last relationship, but I had actually been doing it at least since middle school because of my bi-polar and I told her that it wasn't the relationship.

I'm pretty pissed because I didn't go around telling my family and friends about the things that happened to her as a kid and her harmful tendencies because she asked me not to but it's quite literally taking everything in me not to say anything. I told her not to talk about my issues and it wasn't reciprocated. My co-worker thinks I should say something to her but I feel like if I did, I wouldn't be able to control my rage. My other co-worker said she is mad because I can eat way more than her and still not be as fat as she is and to not say anything.

Should I say something or just let it go?

Today I saw a bunch overweight people wearing long sleeve shirts. It is hot as balls, and I wonder if these people are actually cold or are trying to hide their bodies.

People, especially on this site, seem to be adamant to distinguish between fat and curvy.

With eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia, binge/emotional eating on the rise, it's a bit of a societal concern how we treat overweight and obese individuals.
Many overweight people feel discriminated against, going so far that they feel need laws to protect them from discrimination. I believe Michigan is the only US state that does so.

Personally, I'm not pro obesity but I don't feel they should be spit on and treated like trash. While yes some people can benefit from "shaming" tactics, many people do get into depression and try extremely unhealthy methods to lose weight because they hate themselves so much.

So do you think overall it's good or bad?
