Are Night Eating and Binge Eating at Night the Same Thing?

Do you wake up in the middle of the night and eat on a consistent basis? When you walk into the kitchen half-asleep, does it feel as though nothing can stop you from eating? You may suffer from night eating. Whether it’s 3 AM in California, NYC, or Florida, you' may feel as though you eat uncontrollably. In the morning you see the remnants of the eating episode and feel embarrassed or ashamed. Your kids or partner comment on it. You’re not sure how to stop. Is night eating the same as binge eating?

Healing from Bulimia, Eating Disorders and Food Restricting and a Lifetime of Dieting (No quick fixes in 2024!)

By the time they get to me, many of my California clients have decades of dieting and food restricting behind them. I did, too. I began dieting and restricting food in elementary school, and that behavior persisted for decades before I found a qualified eating disorder therapist to help me recover completely. I get it. It feels impossible. When I was in the thick of my eating disorder, if someone would have told me that I would someday think about food, eating, and body image less than 10% of the time, I would have thought they were insane.

When I first started using affirmation years ago, I felt TOTALLY cheesy saying positive messages about myself out loud. Over time, the cheesiness faded and I began believing these statements.

Whether I was living in California or visiting Florida or Colorado, I would keep saying affirmations until they became the reality.

What’s the connection between Perfectionism and Disordered Eating? A therapist weighs in.

If you struggle with disordered eating, it’s likely that you have the perfectionism trait. There’s something about being a high achiever that correlates with eating and body image issues. Is it your fault?
