LOCKED TOPIC

Biggest binge?

I've just finished the biggest binge day to cover all binge days I've ever had, I probably went over my daily intake at least 9x over... well over 5000 calories. Question for thread is what's the most you've eaten in a day calorie wise, your biggest binge ever?

wow that's a pretty decent binge... lol you'll probably laugh at me, but my biggest is only 2,156 calories for the whole day, but that's a lot for me lol *hangs head* lol... okay time for bed.

take care

Seems a little weird to me to celebrate binge eating.... is this supposed to be a competition??

actually more to humour me cause I feel like shi- now
but, you know, whatever floats your boat, make me look like an idiot

I thought it was cute (so much for bed right)... however over-eating wasn't really my problem before this site, but figured I'd try to get it rolling... you shouldn't feel bad... everyone binges, some more than others. And as long as you learn from it, than it's okay in the end right? Hope I didn't offend you by anything I said.

Take care

Not my intent; I'm sorry. But it's one day. One bad day, for sure, but one day. And... tomorrow's another! You get to start over! (I think it's very cool that we get a new day; we can do better than today tomorrow, yay!)

So .... tomorrow will be better, yes? Lots of water, something rich in fiber? Can you see the new day in front of you? It can be a better one!

Dang, but you're fast, alwayz!

My biggest binges were before I started counted calories. Makes sense, I guess. I used to easily pack away 3500 calories a day. That's a rough estimate. Stomach hurt, sure, but that means you're full, right?

Now I find that my stomach has shrunk, and I get sick after 2300 calories. That's been my biggest binge. And I was in the fetal position in the bathroom, groaning, saying, "Oh, why...why did I do that...why..." Hahaha. Funny in retrospect, but not in the moment.

I don't think makeascene was trying to "celebrate" binging, I think she was trying to feel less alone about the issue. And less crappy about eating so much.

One day at a time, girlie; we all have our pitfalls. :)

Yup! Don't worry, you most definitely aren't alone. I don't know how many calories my biggest binge was, but it included... (oh yes, the food I remember clearly)

Breakfast: Nothing!
Lunch... when it all began: Medium Pizza BY MYSELF! I actually felt pretty proud at the time, silly girl =/!
After-lunch snack: Two vanilla ice cream scoops topped with hot fudge, whipped cream, crushed oreos, marshmallows, and a sugary cherry
Dinner: curly fries, huuge burger, half a chocolate cake slice (split with friend, thank goodness)
After-dinner: chips... why, you ask? because I was watching tv and had nothing better to do! lol

I think I woke up in the middle of the night, tummy aching something fiiierce, and involuntarily puked. Mmm... yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the night.

my worst binge day was probably before i started counting calories but i bet it was bad!!

haggelwaggle...I remember quite a few of those days!  I use to call them my "cheat days"  than I would go back to my 1400 cal a day.  One day a week I didnt count.  And that is why I am here, cuz one day turns into more....No worries a few days of good eating and exercize you will be proud again and you will laugh

Binge days,

Last year before I started watching what I was eating, I would easily put down, and this is no joke, 4-5,000 calories a day!  I would have at least 6 Mt Dews per day, Burger King, McDonalds, whatever fast food joint looked good.  I didn't nor do I now, consider this as binges though.  That would be my normal routine for the week. 

I only binge when I have pms.  I just figured this out, and I'm happy and sad at the same time! 

I can only get down about 3000 calories, and then it starts coming up the back of my throat and I"m sick as a dog.

Yesterday, however, I made it my personal goal to eat everything in my kitchen.  I could only eat 3 bowls of cereal (about 500 calories). And a whole box of sugar-free fat-free chocolate pudding. 

 It really helps if you don't allow junk food in your house.  WHen you get the urge to binge your choices are ... carrots or .. fiber one...hmm....It's easy to get 500 calories, though, if you've got chocolate pies in your house, because it has about 500 calories in it by itself!

Also, a bunch of water will fill up your stomache, and no matter how much you try to eat, it just won't fit anymore.

before calorie count I bet I was easily packing in 4,000 calories some days - especially those pms days layna (which I am ever so in the middle of now) It was always a PINT (goodness) of Ben and Jerry's icecream.... a PINT! Now I think about that and cannot even believe that was me.

Dont feel bad about binging, what good does that do? I do not believe in guilt. I think guilt is a way useless form of self punishment and does not get you anywhere. Everyone makes mistakes. We're human! You'll get back on the counting boat tomorrow and be well within your calories.

I've gone from 4,000 days to...bad days being around 1900, but it took time. You can do it

OMG lets talk about a big binge.

How about after a month in Italy of living off of fresh apricots, espresso and cigarettes, I freak out for the entire last week and go crazy with gelato, pizza, fine Italian chocolates...the works, until finally, I run out of money. Because of a binge. THAT was my turning point. I had three days left in the country, and I was flat broke; I mean, I couldn't even buy myself cigarettes. I ended up dancing with a gypsy and splitting the profits, and I'm not kidding! (actually, it's my real job...I'm a full time professional belly dance instructor and performer~).

I would actually purchase gelato, walk while eating it to another gelateria, and buy another one, back to back, trying to make sure no one in the town (it was a little town) saw me repeat-buying and eating gelato. They probably thought I was a nut.

Pazza!

I was in Rome this year for a wedding and boy is it ever easy to overeat. I actually was sick for two days from overeating.

I overate today for the first time in two weeks...I feel gross! Looking forward to tomorrow so I can be "good" again...

my worst binge EVER was the night after i visisted my dietionist and she told me if i lost one more lb i wouldnt be able to play soccer. i FREAKED out. on the way home i stopped at taco bell and ate TWO WHOLE crunch wrap supremes. then for dinner i went out to eat at Smokey Bones.. had four pieces of cornbread.. ate an entire chicken wrap with the sante dressing (plus fries), and for dessert had cinnamon sugar donuts with two scoops of vanilla ice cream! that wasnt it tho.. i came home and ate an entire PINT of cookies and cream ice cream with whipped cream and cookie crumbles on top. then proceeded to eating an entire bag of doritos. and as u may have guessed.. woke up in hte middle of the night and threw it all up(involuntarily) .. a nightmare right?

looking back i cant even believe the way i ate before dieting and becoming "calorie aware" a big mac and fries was a typical dinner! not to mention a blizzard or sundae for dessert (embarassed) now my life is changed and fast food is a big old NO

I can't believe how many calories I used to pack away per day. It was an amazing turning point realizing what my diet consisted of. I'm so embarrassed now. As much as I still crave the things I used to eat, now I can barely eat half of what I used to.

My daily calorie intake was somewhere between 4000 and 4500 likely. I never counted before I joined here four months ago!

I had a binge day this past week, it had to be about 3000 and i'm doin ti again today! today 'm sure it will go up to 5000!! i'm not logging my food intake today because its just embarrassing how much junk i have eaten!

Yesterday was my cheat day, and I was trying to stick to 1900 calories (and that included an ice cream sundae). But then I wanted chocolate. So I ate. And ate. And ate. And I felt like I ate everything but the kitchen sink.

To face my fears, I wrote down everything that I ate while cheating before I went to bed. I was sick with a stomachache, and felt that surely I must have eaten 5000 calories. SURELY, I would post on the "biggest binge" thread today and write that it was my biggest binge.

I had a half-bowl of cereal. Two diet muffins (90 cal each) with chocolate chips on top. Three pieces of Lindt truffles. White chocolate chips on my ice cream sundae. I realized I had eaten my maintenance calories for the day.

Talk about a shrunken stomach!
