This is a pro-recovery site. My hope is to create a community with tips and strategies that will help people to recover from binge eating, compulsive eating, bulimia, and other difficult eating patterns.
This blog is administrated by me, Leora Fulvio. I am a San Francisco psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of eating disorders. I have been working professionally in the eating disorder recovery community since 2005, and have been involved as a volunteer and participant since 1999. I have trained at several different Eating Disorder facilities, and have worked at various Eating Disorder Treatment Centers doing individual and group therapy as well as hypnotherapy and meditation for healing. I have advanced Psychological training in treating Eating Disorders. Because I understand the difficulty in getting treatment (be it the cost, the inaccessible nature of treatment, or the problems with actually incorporating treatment with life) I have created this blog to help people deal with their Eating Disorders. This is certainly not a substitute for treatment, but I am hoping to do my part in helping to make recovery accessible and possible for those who don’t have access to a therapist. Please email me if you have any questions or need advice regarding your particular eating issue. I see the value in constant support, educational resources and community when trying to recover from food issues. I hope that people jump on, comment, or share their hopes strength and inspiration.

Thank you so much for this blog.
Thank you.
I can relate to some things on here so much and the tips here…are wonderful.
I was skimming through posts and came across the One Day w/o Binge Eating Challenge and thought it was a great idea. I am definitely an all or nothing thinker.
Maybe one day at a time will help me realize I can stop this.
Please keep this blog running.

I am so thankful I found this blog. I am a binge eater. I have struggled so much over the past few years to get control of this. The more I try, the worse I seem to get. Reading your site has been so helpful, for many reasons. First, I don’t feel so alone in this struggle. Second, because what you say makes so much sense. I have seen so much of myself in what you have written. Making these small changes seem achieveable. Thank you for sharing what you know.

Tonight I was about to binge again. I was and still am practically in tears and about to stuff my face with popcorn even though I’m already full from dinner. Then I found your blog. Reading it has made me feel less alone and freakish. Your suggestions really helped. I think I might make it through the night without binging. Thank you.

I just found this blog as I was searching for information on binge eating and I must say that I found some very helpful and eye opening stories on here! I was diagnosed last year with binge eating disorder and since then have undergone therapy, It finished in May this year. So far I feel that it has helped me coming to term with my condition but I feel a little lost now. My therapist has helped me opening the Pandora Box but now I feel that all the chaos of emotions and events from it are flying wildly all over my head still
I feel that the work is greatly unfinished. Fortunately my GP (I live in the UK) has referred me back to the eating disorder unit. I just find it so hard sometimes. Almost like completely stuck between the four walls of this illness. I felt so on top of the world back in April! Now I am back to square minus 10!!!!! So disheartening!!! In the meantime, my doctor has increased my prescription of fluoxetine but I fear that it is just brushing more dust under the carpet. the US seem to have a better understanding of the condition and therefore more options in terms of treatment and information. I am glad I found your blog and will be recommending it to my therapist! x
