From: Kristin Gerstley Houston, Texas October, 2015 RE: An open letter to fellow binge eaters
Emotional eating. Compulsive eating. Binge eating. Call it what you want, but I called it my deepest, darkest secret that I never told anyone about…
Does any of this sound familiar to you?
As soon as the clock struck noon, I was already out the door and headed to my car. It had been another bad day at work and I struggled to fight back the tears as I started my car.
I pulled out of the parking garage and headed towards the only place I knew that would ease my pain: a fast food place. I pulled up to the drive-thru and placed my order holding a piece of paper in my hands, just in case there was anyone watching.
I mean, after all, I wouldn’t want anyone to think that I was ordering all of this food for just myself. After I placed my order, I drove up to the window to pay. As the woman handed me the bags, I pretended to check off the items on the fake list I had created just moments before.
After I paid, I drove to the far end of the parking lot where no other cars parked, and I began to eat. And eat. And eat.
Before I realized it, I had consumed all four meals.
Hey Kristin, I just wanted to message you personally as I feel I’ve a lot to thank you for. A few years back I had BED pretty bad… so I looked it up and came across your video. I cried pretty hard when I saw it, it all made a lot of sense… I’ve lost all the weight, am healthy again and no longer suffer from it (binge eating disorder). But not just that, it wasn’t until my boyfriend saw your video that he finally understood. It was the one thing between us he just couldn’t understand, so after maybe 6 months of being together, I showed him, and just as I had done, he cried. I don’t know what it is, but you made him understand, so thank you. It actually stretches further than that, his girlfriend from way back had suffered from it too, and he hadn’t been able to support her. After watching your video he felt so bad he called her up to apologize and explained that finally, through talking to me and seeing your take on it, he understood and was sorry he hadn’t been better to her. I was very proud of him and it was inspired by you, so again, thank you so much…. As you’d been so honest and open, I felt it was right to get in touch and thank you for what you had done for me and so many others out there. You are a beautiful soul Kristin Gerstley. I wish you the very best and hope you continue to help people around the world as you have done me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Yes. That was me. I used to be all of the above.
Me while trying to overcome binge eating disorder.
If you’re anything like how I was, then you may be struggling to find out why you are like this. And even if you know the answer, the next struggle begins with how to overcome your binge eating.
Luckily, I documented my journey and researched like crazy in hopes to help people like you not only overcome binge eating, but also become a much stronger person emotionally.
You see, when I started, I wanted answers. Why was I like this? Is there a cure? How did this happen? Why me?
I read every single book that I could find on “Binge Eating Disorder” and “food addiction” and “compulsive overeating”.
I read or sifted through another few hundred books. I sifted through thousands of websites. I printed off over a thousand pages of information.
And the more I read, the more confused and off-track I became, which only lead me to binge eat even more. This painful cycle was killing me. Literally. But I just couldn’t stop myself.
One of the only things that kept me going was knowing that I wasn’t the only one. I was amazed to find out that there were so many other people that had Binge Eating Disorder.
I began playing with the thoughts of finding others that I could talk to about our struggle.
“If you or someone you know is struggling with binge eating, stop reading this and order “End Binge Eating Now” right now! Do you need further convincing? Kristin has gone where few books on this subject have gone before. Our book shelves are loaded with typical “diet books”. They are written by scientists and nutritionists who have never battled the issue about which they write. In “End Binge Eating Now” Kristin not only provides tried and tested methods for overcoming this disorder but she takes the next step courageously and honestly sharing her own story. “I cried and cried throughout the day”, she writes “and I’m not even sure why. Maybe I was scared because now it was time to get help and stop living the life I was living..” If you are “tired of living the life you are living” this book will not only provide a way out but will also provide the comfort of knowing that you are not alone. “End Binge Eating Now” provides the perfect balance of heart and help to enable you to find victory over this very real disorder which affects millions of people just like you and I world wide.”
All of the reading and research I was doing made me even more confused.
I was trapped in an endless circle where compulsive overeating consumed my life. All of the documentation that I found out there was written by doctors and researchers who studied eating disorders.
Some called it “B.E.D.” which was for Binge Eating Disorder, others called it “Compulsive Overeating“, and I saw many mentions of the term “Emotional Eating“.
In some books or websites I would learn that Binge Eating Disorder was an addiction, while another said that it wasn’t.
Some websites told me to follow the twelve-step process used by alcoholics to overcome binge eating disorder. Yet, others told me that I would have to accept that this is how I was and to just find ways to live with it. Um, seriously?
LIVE WITH IT?! Doesn’t anyone have a clue on how much this eating disorder was consuming my life?
It’s like a nightmare that just won’t go away.
Hi Kristin, “WOW! You are truly a wonderful inspiration to us all! As you know, I read your ebook in one sitting (which is a rare thing for me) and felt something that I haven’t felt for as long as I can remember. And that something was confidence in myself that I will overcome my Binge Eating Disorder. It was also great talking to you on the phone last night. You’ve helped me more than you can imagine and I look forward to sharing my success story with you soon!”
Photo of me when I was dealing with binge eating
By this point I was desperate to find a solution for my emotional eating.
Too many years had already passed that I let my binge eating control my life. From not going out to lunch with coworkers so I could binge eat to crying because I wasn’t able to stop myself no matter how much I tried.
Not one person was aware of this horror that I lived with every single day. No one in my family or even my boyfriend knew that I was living this double life. But it had to stop.Not only that, I had yet to let anyone into my secret world.
Weight was piling on, which only made me upset, which in turn lead me to eat more food.
I did end up seeing a therapist, which allowed me to confirm that I had binge eating disorder and learn what some of the root causes were.
But I was still left to try and figure this whole thing out myself. Is it curable? Will I be like this forever? I literally dove in head-first and dedicated my life to finding a solution to overcome binge eating disorder once and for all.
Finally, after countless months of searching, I started to see a light at the end of the tunnel… A light that proved to be the answer that I and people like you are searching for.
That light proved to be the end of Binge Eating Disorder once and for all.
Yes, there really is a way to stop binge eating once and for all and to start living your life on your own terms! And I had finally found it.
But I must admit, if it wasn’t for the help of my boyfriend, I would have never found the answer that I was desperately searching for.
You see, although he didn’t know the answer, he had given me a direction to go in. As I journeyed in the direction, I started to make a path.
And it was on that path that I finally found the solution. And now you will have complete access to my journey, the research I compiled, and then…
“Well I just finished reading your eBook and it was GREAT! It is so inspiring and eye opening. Thank you so much Kristin for opening up my eyes to a real problem/disorder that I have. Thank you for helping me see that there is a solution! It feels great to know that I am NOT alone. Thank you for having the courage to tell your story. I think it makes it that much more motivating when you hear the real stories of people that have gone through what you are going through. Your eBook gave me hope. I am one of those people who are always “dieting”, so reading the “dieting facts” in your book really spoke to me. It made me realize that I need to quit looking for quick fixes. It is so hard to put into words how much you have helped me! I am so excited to get started with your plan! Thank you for having the courage to get your story out and thank you for being so selfless and wanting to help other people change their lives for the better! Congratulations on your eBook and I wish you nothing but continued success! I am gonna see you on Oprah! I just know it!”
I know first-hand how lonely binge eating disorder is. I know how hard it is to find others to confide in.
It was when I was on the road to recovery that I vowed to myself to help as many people as possible end their compulsive eating disorder and food addiction. People just like you.
And that’s where the real challenge began. The decision to go public with my “problem” was not an easy one for me. I felt a lot of fear.
In Jamaica after overcoming binge eating disorder.
After all, I kept this secret world of mine hidden for so long. But the passion to help other people like you pushed me to overcome this fear and the decision to write this eBook on How to Overcome Binge Eating Disorder was born.
I spent more than thirteen months researching and documenting Binge Eating Disorder for this eBook.
I uncovered many disturbing facts about Binge Eating Disorder in my research. I found many stories about people just like you and me who were struggling to overcome this nightmare.
There are countless people who struggle with binge eating – and you’d never even know it.
Some people are able maintain a somewhat healthy weight, but struggle with the psychological side of this eating disorder.
There are those who are 130, 220, 350, 460, even over 500 pounds where binge eating has taken complete control over their lives.
There are men, woman, and yes, even children who suffer from binge eating.
The bottom line is that this eating disorder effects so many people, but nearly everyone (including me) keep their binge eating a secret. There is no way of truly knowing exactly how many people suffer from this disorder.
For example, while I was in high school, I was a very active cheerleader. Although I maintained a healthy weight all through high school, binge eating consumed my life.
No one ever knew about my “secret” life that I hid behind closed doors.
So while researching binge eating disorder, I quickly found that there were a lot of promises out there. But nothing really hit the nail on the head as far as what it really takes to overcome Binge Eating Disorder.
Right now, you can have exclusive access to information that is not available anywhere else.
You will learn the exact shortcuts I used to not only end binge eating once and for all, but also literally transform my life for the better.
Yes, there is an amazing life just waiting for you once you beat binge eating, I promise!
Since overcoming Binge Eating Disorder, I have gained much more confidence, attracted new and interesting friends into my life, learned how to stay away from situations that used to make me binge or fuel my addiction to food, and so much more.
And I’ll share exactly how I did it with you!
In fact, I wrote the first version of my book back in 2005 and have made many updates to it over the years to ensure you have all the information you need. In my brand new updated version for 2015, you’ll also learn:
To: Those reading Kristin’s website searching for a way out… For several years, I have carried around a secret that I could never talk about: not to my family, my closest friends, or even to my husband. I now realize that binge eating did not only make me gain weight, but it was keeping me from living the happy and productive life that I always wanted for myself deep down inside. When I found Kristin’s eBook, I was skeptical since I have tried so many things in the past, however, her program is the most valuable thing I have ever done for myself. When I got this eBook, I could not read it fast enough, and felt as though the pages were speaking to me! Kristin has really been there, and with each page I found more belief that there was a way out. Although it has only been two weeks since I purchased her eBook and started the program, I have already taken huge strides towards recovery. I am exercising almost daily, eating much more healthy, working towards my goals, and my relationships (both personal and professional) are stronger then they have ever been. Kristin is such a sweet, genuine, and caring person.She has helped me more then anyone could ever know.
Enjoying a vacation, binge-free!
I’m sure you are wondering the same thing I was when I first started…
Will I ever be able to eat the foods that I normally binge on ever again?
During my binges, I would consume a bag or two… or three… usually more.And thank goodness, the answer is YES. For me, one of my favorite binge foods was chips. (Although any sweets, salty foods, or fast food was also on the top of my list.)
There was a time that I feared going out to eat and being served chips at a Mexican restaurant.
It seemed like as soon as I put one into my mouth, something would click and I wouldn’t be able to stop eating them until my stomach was about to explode.
Armed with this new information, you will finally be in complete control.
You’ll soon find that your life will not be controlled by food any more.
Instead, you’ll feel better about yourself, be happier, be more confident, and maybe even go down a few clothing sizes!
A whole new world will literally open up around you, which in reality, is the world that you have closed out for so long.
If you answered yes to any of the above, then I’d love to help you – like I’ve helped well over 1,000 others just like you and me.
I know how much it hurts to always be hiding your eating habits.You see, I know exactly what it feels like to not have anyone to talk to about your binge eating.
I know what it feels like to keep this hidden from your loved ones and friends fearing what they will say or think.
I even know what it feels like to open up to someone about the problem and have them act differently towards you because you have a “problem“. But whatever you do...
Jan also had a problem, but it was with drugs and alcohol. She became quite a partier after she got out of school and somehow, she was able to keep her “other life” secret from me for quite some time.
I was never into that scene and would have never thought that she would end up there. It wasn’t until I found out that she had a serious problem that I realized she really needed help.
Although Jan didn’t realize it, her private life was killing her on the inside. I would have talks with her that lasted for hours trying, sometimes begging for her to stop drinking and doing drugs.
They were making her depressed. I became very worried about her and nothing that I was doing was helping.
Weeks went by without hearing anything from her until I received a phone call. I found out thatJan tried committing suicide and wound up in a rehab center.I decided to tell her parents about her problems and how much I was worried about her. And as you can imagine, Jan was not happy with me.
I couldn’t believe how bad things got. After all, she had everything going for her.
Although Jan’s story is much more serious, you are effectively killing yourself on the inside by not overcoming Binge Eating Disorder, just like I was.
My wedding day: 62 pounds lost since beating binge eating disorder once and for all.
You see, when we have Binge Eating Disorder, we can never truly be our authentic selves around our friends and family. Our entire life revolves around one big secret that consumes us every waking moment – whether you realize it or not.
Because we can never be our “real selves“, we begin to lose ourselves in the process. Before long, we begin to lose who we were and we become more and more afraid of who we are becoming.
Not to mention the health risks that are associaited with binge eating are quite serious.
As a side note, it’s now been several years and I’m happy to say that Jan is now married, clean, and sober. But the times she (and I) went through for a few years are not anything I’d ever wish on anyone.
She fought long and hard to avoid getting help. She just didn’t have the strength to seek help on her own or even accept it when it was offered to her.
But you do. That’s why you’re here.
You know that you need some help and you’ve come here on your own. I cannot tell you how much that says about you.
Congratulations on taking this first step. I can say with 100% conviction that I believe in you and know that you will end binge eating. Take a deep breath. You know deep down inside that you can beat this too.
Yes, you can. Yes, you will.
Believe me, I know first-hand how difficult this eating disorder is, and I truly put my heart and soul into creating my eBook to help you – and others just like you.
Armed with the information that I’ve compiled, coupled with my personal stories that you will surely relate to, you will be well on your way to overcoming Binge Eating Disorder much faster than you can imagine.

“Dear Kristin, I personally took a lot of useful information away from your eBook, as I was able to relate it to other aspects of my life. I especially liked the chapter on “Taking Control”. There is so much valuable information there about things you can do to improve yourself and your life as a whole. It helped me to recognize that fear of change and negative thoughts have been preventing me from living my life as I had always envisioned. I am going to use many of the suggestions noted in your eBook to help me remain positive, and not be afraid to fulfill my dreams! You are such an inspiration to me and I appreciate you opening up your most personal experiences to help others!”
“When I read this in your eBook: “I always felt like all of my problems would just go away when I am skinny. I will be prettier and my self-esteem will shoot back up…”I was amazed at how much I could relate to that. It’s so true, I always felt like I can’t be happy or successful until I’m skinny and in some sense I won’t let myself be happy until I am. It’s these kinds of thoughts that make me lose control and end up binging! Sometimes the road to happiness seems so far away! But, because of your eBook, I’ve stopped thinking like that and for the first time I’ve gone out and bought myself a size 12 outfit. Usually I would have waited until I lost weight to buy something, but I feel good about myself and know that I’m on the right track. I am on my way to overcoming binge eating! If you only knew how much of an impact your words has had on me! I am forever grateful. Thank you!”
"Kristin, I’m writing this to you while I’m in tears. I just finished reading your eBook and I cannot express how much your words have meant to me. For the first time that I can recall, I feel that I have hope and find comfort knowing that I’m not the only one going through this. And more than that, because of you, I have a plan that I know that I can stick to. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I truly feel that your book has saved my life. I will keep you posted with my progress if that’s OK with you. Thank you so much.
