Hello everyone.
I’m starting my weight loss tomorrow hopefully! I’ve been diagnosed with Binge eating disorder and this has made it really difficult to have any control over my eating, but I’m now at my biggest and so really need to start being healthier. Any tips or trick would be really useful!
Welcome to the forum. One of the admins will see your post in the morning and reply to you with a lot of the information about this site.
I understand how difficult it is to deal with an eating disorder. Lucky me I have two of them (You can click on my profile to read about that if you are interested). I have found that I definitely benefit from the support of both a dietitian and psychologist as well as regular monitoring by my GP. Do you have similar support set up?
I guess that you will need to work out what triggers you to start binging so you can try to avoid or reduce the triggers. Have a plan of activities to do that will distract you from the urge to binge and hopefully you can eventually avoid it altogether. That can be done. Also work out what type of food you usually binge on and try to avoid having it in the house.
We also have a Daily Diary on this site where we post our meal plans the day before. It may help you to have your meals set out ahead of time so that you don't have to choose what to eat during the day. I can't cope with choosing food myself at this stage and have to follow a meal plan set by a dietitian.
I've rambled on a bit and I don't know if anything that I said was relevant or useful but good luck with your weight loss.
Hi and welcome, Lobbie 
To help prevent bingeing, I would recommend you consider looking at what you're eating and ensuring you're eating enough of the right foods.
Eat too little and you'll be hungry, which will possibly bingeing. Eat a high carb diet and you will trigger spikes in insulin responses, followed by a crash in blood sugar levels, which will also trigger hunger and bingeing.

Hello Lobbie, people tend to put binge eating down to a lack of willpower when it may well have more to do with what you're eating and the effect those foods have on your body i.e. increasing cravings.
You say you have been diagnosed with Binge Eating Disorder. What advice and/or support have you been offered by whoever made the diagnosis?
Can you describe what you normally eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner? As others have mentioned, the particular type of foods that you eat can have an enormous impact on the way your appetite functions (or doesn't function).
It's also possible to exacerbate bingeing by not eating enough at mealtimes. People get trapped in a vicious cycle of bingeing and then eating tiny meals to "compensate" for their "lack of self-control", but the logic there is based on a flawed view of how weight gain occurs. If you can build new habits around filling meals, containing proper food, the bingeing should disappear in time.
