It's no wonder, with these types of emotions, that many individuals suffering with an eating disorder do not seek out help or the appropriate<a href="http://www.eatingdisorderhope.com/treatment-centers"> treatment</a> they need. Eating disorders, such as compulsive overeating, are isolating diseases, often removing a person from their families, friends, and social life.<br />
<br />
If you are a loved one has been struggling with an <a href="http://www.eatingdisorderhope.com/information/eating-disorder">eating disorder</a>, you may want to consider a support group as a place to start the process of recovery. Though the idea of seeking treatment can be intimidating and overwhelming, joining with other individuals on a regular basis who may share similar experiences can be inspiring, encouraging, and strengthening. Whether joining a group such as Over-Eaters Anonymous or finding a local support group through a church or treatment center, getting plugged in to a support system can be instrumental in breaking the bonds of an eating disorder.<br />
<br />
For more information on how to get connected to a support group, please visit our website <a href="http://www.eatingdisorderhope.com/recovery/support-groups">here</a>.Crystal Kargeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07304279683630448486noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565138872815168023.post-365214269474338422012-06-20T00:48:00.000-07:002012-06-20T00:48:52.115-07:00Overeaters Anonymous Marathon of MeetingsThe struggle with compulsive overeating can be a lonely and isolating experience. If you are currently dealing with compulsive overeating, you may feel ashamed or embarrassed as a result of these behaviors, finding it difficult to reach out for help and support. You are not alone in your struggles. By joining a <a href="http://www.eatingdisorderhope.com/recovery/support-groups">support group</a>, you can take a positive step towards recovery and freedom from the prison that compulsive overeating can create. Finding connections to others who have had experience in a similar path can offer the encouragement you need towards healing and self-care. Such support groups that could offer these connections include Overeaters Anonymous, which is a worldwide fellowship that has created a solution to the problems arising from overeating. WIth more than 6,500 group meetings and over 54,000 members, the odds are that you can find someone to connect and relate to!<br />

I can talk with clinical objectivity about Anorexia and Bulimia because I don't suffer from them. I can't be objective when it comes to overeating because I suffer here, and have failed to get it completely under control. Even Diabetes didn't stop me...I just decreased by 60 pounds what my acceptable overweight condition would be and then, when I dropped below it by a substantial amount, would overeat until I got to that weight again. This disorder is an obsession with overeating. Typically, we either chronically overeat or periodically binge from some emotional trigger. The chronic overeating is an addiction (compulsion) to food, like any other addiction.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.way2hope.org/binge_eating_compulsive_overeating.htm">Read The Article</a><br />**********************************************<br />Do you think that hearing from ED survivors can help those who are currently suffering from an ED?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565138872815168023.post-21562317436168356802011-10-24T18:35:00.000-07:002011-10-24T18:36:50.476-07:00How to Identify Compulsive Overeating in Your Loved One Read more: How to Identify Compulsive Overeating in Your Loved One | eHow.com http://www.ehowHealth<br /><br />Characterized by not being able to stop eating, compulsive overeating usually results in weight gain.
