Charlotte Kyndesen, 32 years old, self-employed. “Once I had a boyfriend but then he broke up with me and I gained 40 kilos in three months. I ate my self through it. I couldn’t handle it.” Charlotte began to gain weight at the age of four and it has continued ever since. She has tried to lose 31 kilos in half a year but then gain 42 in just three months. She has been in a weight loss camp as a young child, psychiatric ward, place for eating disorders, at dieticians – just to name a few. But because BED is not accepted in the European Medical Classification and therefore not in Danish health care system too there is no help to seek. “At the place for eating disorders they said they could see, that I had an eating disorder. But since BED is not accepted in the system I was sent back home.”
