Welcome to BEDA

The most common eating disorder is binge eating disorder—also referred to as emotional or compulsive eating, or food addiction. Yet many who have the disorder don’t even know they have it, let alone how to stop binging. They’re ashamed and afraid to get help. Family and friends may not know what to say or how to help. And treatment providers may do more harm than good without the right knowledge or skill set.

BEDA is here to help those who are touched by binge eating disorder in some way, through access to the information and support they need. BEDA is a community of treatment providers, people with eating disorders, families, educators, and activists united to provide hope for those who struggle in shame and silence.

Together, we can stop the binge cycle, explore a more peaceful relationship with food and weight, and achieve long-term recovery.

BED Stories

Recovery is hard, and it is ongoing. I mess up, make mistakes, and make bad decisions. The difference now is that I don't beat myself up about it. I don't think, “What is wrong with me.” I just begin again and tell myself that there is no “perfect recovery.”
