Another study investigated if there is a greater lifetime occurrence of binge eating among the survivors from Nazi concentration camps. Those who endured the Nazi concentration camps lived through extreme periods of food restriction.
51 political prisoners and 47 ex-partisans who survived the Nazi concentration camps were interviewed to investigate a lifetime presence of binge eating. The study concluded that subjects who survived a period of extreme food restriction ARE more likely to develop binge eating behavior.

It is in everyone’s interest that you make resuming normal eating habits your first priority.

PLAN, PLAN, PLAN IN ADVANCE. Plan what you are going to eat during your day. What are you going to do if you are in a situation that triggers b/p. Thinking all the time about recovery is part of the eating disorder. I need to focus on the real life instead. Don’t trust yourself. If I know I always binge during an X situation (like being alone at home around 5pm), I need to go out at that time or find another activity. I am not strong enough to just be at home by myself and act normally. If I eat those cookies because I am feeling lonely they won’t make my friends appear. Trust yourself, and your body. Tell yourself you are able to do it. Tell yourself that you are not going to gain one pound because you ate a piece of cheesecake. God is an important part of my recovery If I eat tons of food, all the time, I will gain weight. I can’t have cheesecake and hamburger and fries everyday, in every meal, but I can have them once in a while. I purge not only because of my emotions, but it is an easy way to control my weight. I love food.
