Compulsive eating disorder after anorexia?

I had anorexia as a young teen, but now i believe I have a compulsive eating disorder. Very difficult because I am a runner and like to run road races but binging always throws my running way off. I don't purge. I did get help for the anorexia thankfully, but now it progressed to this. What could I do to help it?

Eating disorders involve serious disturbances in eating behavior, including unhealthy reduction of food intake, severe overeating and/or dangerous methods to prevent weight gain, such as self-induced vomiting. Severe eating disorders may result in serious health consequences including death.

Patients can be diagnosed with an eating disorder at any age, but they most often develop during adolescence and young adulthood. More women than men are diagnosed with eating disorders.

The most common types of eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. Other, less common types of eating disorders include pica and rumination disorder.

Be well!

eat more often, you can rid yourself of the binging, it's mostly self control, but it can also be a medical condition so if it doesn't work you might want to seek help

It is because you view certain foods as off limit that you binge when you think, see or smell these foods. Officially allow yourself your portion controlled amounts of your favorite foods. Eventually, you will be less neurotic about these foods when you stop viewing them as totally forbidden.
