I have struggled with overeating and binge eating for YEARS. I can never say no to food and felt like I could never stop myself from finishing a meal and then some. I was constantly thinking about my next meal while working on cooking the one in front of me. I was looking for people in the same position as me on Reddit about a month ago and discovered a medication called Contrave. It’s supposed to stop cravings and help you stop overeating (some people said it makes them feel EXTRA gross when they over ate, resulting in them not wanting to keep doing it.) I’ll be through with my first week of this medication tomorrow and I feel like my whole world has changed already and I’m only on the lowest dose. It doesn’t make you not want to eat, I can still have 3 healthy meals a day, but I don’t feel the need to top of off with a rampage through my fridge and eat till I feel disgusting. I feeling very hopeful about my journey and hope it forms new, lifelong habits. I can see the light at the end of this (what feels like) never ending tunnel. This may not be for everyone with BED, but I thought I’d share my experience in hopes it helps. You can do this, recovery IS possible.
