I am 52 years old and have not gone through menopause as of yet, but I started to binge immediately after my 51 birthday. The problem I have is that I can eat an entire both of saltines and that is nothing but bad carbs. Prior to this experience I have never had a problem with anything but coffee, but since I gave up coffee I seem to have taken to carbs and it’s getting out of control. First, I started with the salted ones and now I managed to changed to the unsalted ones but it makes me feel so bad and useless that I have to get it under control. My mom said that when she went through menopause she would get up in the middle of the night to go and get a pepsi, so I quess this is a part of the female reproductive system. All of my friends have been through menopause and I am as regular as clock work. Is there any help for me?

I’ve never realized that binge eating was a food disorder and that there are many others just like me. I relate to everyone’s story, it sounds exactly like me. I binge for days at a time then I stop for a couple of days and feel great then start up again. It makes me miserable and depressed. I’m tired of my family making comments about my weight gain because I can’t help it. I want to lose weight and be at a healthy weight it’s just not that easy anymore. I know you say to talk about it and inform them of it but I’m so embarrassed. People that don’t know what you go through wont understand. Their way to resolving things is just stop eating and it’s not that easy to do. How can I train my mind to stop or get the will power to stop. I don’t just want a temporary fix. I want to he ankle and look back months and years and say what was I thinking and why did I do that.
