Yes. It is possible to recover from Binge Eating Disorder, even if you have been living with the illness for many years.

The path to recovery can be very challenging but it can also shed light on what contributes to binge eating, low self-esteem and negative body image, and how to minimise relapse. Through the process of recovery a person with Binge Eating Disorder can learn how to replace their unhealthy eating habits with more helpful coping strategies.

With the right team and a high level of personal commitment, recovery is an achievable goal. Treatments for Binge Eating Disorder are available; seek help from a professional with specialised knowledge in eating disorders.

Getting Help

If you suspect that you or someone you know has Binge Eating Disorder, it is important to seek help immediately. The earlier you seek help the closer you are to recovery. While your GP may not be a specialist in eating disorders, they are a good 'first base.' A GP can provide a referral to a practitioner with specialised knowledge in health, nutrition and eating disorders
