Overcoming Binge Eating: The Proven Program to Learn Why You Binge and How You Can Stop

Product Information

The first editionwas published in 1995. Since then Part I has become established as a leading source of information on binge eating problems. Meanwhile the treatment program in Part II has been investigated in numerous clinical trials. Time after time it has been found to be a potent source of help, either when used on its own or when used with external support (guided self-help). As a result the program is regardedas a leading treatment for binge eating problems. In recognition of this, Overcoming Binge Eating was awarded the Seal of Merit from the US Association for the Advancement of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy whilein the UK National Health Service doctors can prescribe the book as if it were a form of medication. Loss of Control. As mentioned earlier, the experience of being out of control is one of the two core features of binge eating. It is what distinguishes binge eating from everyday overeating. The experience varies considerably between people. Some feel it long before they begin eating. For others it emerges gradually as they start to eat. Or it may come on suddenly as they realize that they have eaten too much. People vary widely in how often they binge and what foods they eat. It is therefore difficult to define a typical binge in these terms.

None of these questions can be answered without a full understanding of what a binge is, and that is the subject of this opening chapter. In this gem of a book, Dr Fairburn draws upon decades of clinical experience and research findings on binge eating and related problems. This new (and thoroughly reworked) edition is a “must read” if you want to understand binge eating problems and begin (or guide and support others on) the journey toward full recovery.” Secretiveness. A hallmark of the typical binge is that it occurs in secret. Some people are so ashamed of their binge eating that they go to great lengths to hide it—and may succeed for many years. One way they accomplish this is by eating in a relatively normal manner when they are with others. Another is by exercising considerable subterfuge. Perhaps you are familiar with some of the ways that people keep their behavior hidden: for example, after eating a normal meal, some people later return surreptitiously to eat all the leftovers. Others take food to their bedroom or bathroom to eat it without fear of detection. I had two goals in mind when writing Overcoming Binge Eating. The first was to provide a readable and authoritative account of binge eating problems and how they can be overcome (Part I). Mysecond goal was to present a self-help program directly based on the most effective treatment available (Part II). My intention was that the program could be used by more-or-less anyone with a binge eating problem so long as they werenot substantially underweight. The significance of the frequency of binge eating is also confusing. If you binge "only once in a while," does this mean there is no need for concern? At what frequency is binge eating a problem? Is it the numbers—how often you binge, for how long, over what time span—that determine how serious the problem is? Or should the guiding factor be how much binge eating affects your life? As noted above, in practice clinicians are concerned with impairment—the degree to which binge eating interferes with physical health or quality of life.recording in detail all eating and drinking at the time that it occurs, together with relevant thoughts and feelings.

This soon changes into a strong desire to eat. First of all it is a relief and a comfort to eat, and I feel quite high. But then I can't stop, and I binge. I eat and eat frantically until I am absolutely full. Afterwards I feel so guilty and angry with myself.

PDF / EPUB File Name: Overcoming_Binge_Eating_-_Christopher_G_Fairburn.pdf, Overcoming_Binge_Eating_-_Christopher_G_Fairburn.epub Feelings. The first moments of a binge can be pleasurable. The taste and texture of the food may seem intensely enjoyable. Such feelings seldom last long, however. Soon they are replaced by feelings of disgust as the person consumes more and more food. Some people feel revulsion over what they are doing but nevertheless continue to eat. Laboratory studies support these accounts as similar figures have been obtained when people have volunteered to binge and then the precise composition of their binges has been calculated. One study found that one in every five patients with bulimia nervosa had binges of more than 5,000 calories and one in ten had binges of more than 6,000 calories.
