~~Bingers Anonymous~~

Welcome to BA. My name is Nicole and I'm a binger.

i decided that it could be helpful to have a forum for those of us trying to recover from this evil thing called binge eating disorder (BED). Whenever you have success... post here! Whenever you have struggles... post here! need support to stay out of the cookie jar?.... post here!

i'll be posting my intake of calories everyday in hopes that showing all of you what i eat will keep me from OVER EATING.

anyone with the same struggles??

I have got to get back on track with planning my meals.  I've been skipping again and that is a one way trend to a major binge.  Not to mention that it's not healthy and it totally blows my metabolism!

It's been 3 days of no eating after dinner for me!!!

The PMS monster is coming.......Sounds like the name for a good horror movie, right?  I woke up dreaming of chocolate chip cookies (not even a favorite!)

In the meantime, either its the meds or a touch of the stomach virus going around - everything I eat makes me feel queasy and icky.  Hubby was sick last night, two people in the office have been out.

But, minor victory - I was craving a soda earlier today and went and got an unsweetened iced tea instead!!!!

My major goal this week was to not eat out. If I make my meals at home, then I have no choice but to eat healthy because I won't buy junk food.

So far I am doing really well, but I may end up eating out tonight. (Dang it) Hopefully I can still make some decent choices and stay within my food goals.

Hubby mentioned last night that the freezer is getting down there. I said yes, I have been trying to use what we have at home. Well, maybe then we could get ice cream again next time you get groceries. And he wants the big bucket of ice cream. I said, well, I'm trying to keep that stuff out of the house. It's one thing if ice cream is a treat like once in awhile, but it tends to be everyday for us if we have it at home. He was really quiet after that. I know he doesn't like that answer, but he is overweight too and it doesn't help him to have a 3-scoop (or more) bowl of ice cream every night either!

Last night was 5 days with out eating anything after dinner.

I might see my 10 pound goal by Xmas.

Way to go, teener!
That sucks, united :( Maybe jump in front of the cart and pack it yourself next time. Or ask to carry your veggies instead, then put them on top as youre leaving? I dunno. but bruised nanners are the worst.

Damn. binged. grr.
darn weekends. They always get me.

come on guys! we can do it!! this week will be great!

I dunno.. during the week Im super busy with school, and just don't have time to think about food, and even if I do, I cant go out and get any cause Im just too busy. But weekends Im just sitting around studying.
Today I just got super frustrated with some linear algebra, so me and my bf went out to dinner, I had planned just salad and a 6" pizza, but ended up with a bunch of garlic fingers, bread (covered with spreads) and donair sauce along with the pizza and salad. argh it was bad.  But I wont do it again. I swear. grr. back to day 0 binge-free again.

I used to have BED, and I binged myself from 125lbs to 200 lbs in less than 2 years. Now, I'm on a diet again and I think I only have emotional eating.

I hate that Binge Eating is unheard to most people. Everyone always talkes about Anorexia and Bulimia, and never about Binge Eating. BED is as serious a disorder as Anorexia and Bulimia. And I think it deserves the attention it needs. Lots of people go on with this disorder not knowing that it's a disorder. Then they start blaming themselves and getting more depressed, which leads them to binge again. It's a viscious cycle.

I'm glad that there's a post about this as it makes others aware of this problem.

Back to day one {{{{{SIGH}}}}}....

I was doing really well and ended up with all four of the kids home sick yesterday.....I snacked through the entire day and ended up with two candy-bars last night.

(Hangs head.....)

..............Okay okay I binged this weekend. JEEZ.

Not just Friday...but Saturday, too. I was fine on Saturday, I ate all my calories, and I was planning on just having some tea when I went to hang out with my best friend, and I ate about 800 calories in cookies instead. Mint chocolate covered Oreos, fudge-stuffed Keebler cookies, and Keebler fudge stripes.

But I'm doing well this week! Friday ended up being at maintenance -- despite the binge behavior -- and Saturday was 200 calories over maintenance. SO. I'm trying.

Had to confess.

Wow, I think I may need this place.  I am a hard core binger/starver.  I have taken all the classes, I know I should be eating 5 small meals a day blah blah.  I do so well all day, then I come home and I eat soooo much.  Sometimes I can feel the binge come on and actually avoid food all day so I can eat more at night.  Sick uh?  Then I starve myself the next day to make up for the binge.  Today I've done o-kay, got a A- on analysis.  I actually binged Sunday and Monday.  Everytime I swear it will be the last.  It never is.  I just want to feel normal with food.   It's like a crave that horrible full feeling.  Actually I also smoke pot on occasion which only makes me eat more.    I hate that I keep a running total of calories in my head.  Sometimes I think it makes it worse.  I binge for relaxation and comfort.  Nothing else feels as good...

I bought a lemmon pie the other day.

I had just ONE slice. My kids didn't like it, so I took it to work today to share.

I did very good. That was Monday.

So I'm starting again with Tuesday being 1 day no eating after Dinner. Tonight  WILL be #2.

I dont get to read every ones posts on here due to lack of time, but I just wanted to say... YOU CAN DO IT. You can stay away from that food. Drink extra milk. That's what I do. It's got to be better than food :)

just moved in to my uni, which is about 7 hours drive from where ive lived all my life, and i feel so stressed out and depressed about various things - i think everyone does when they have to deal with a completely new place, new people and new situations HOWEVER, not everyone binges! ack. i've had chocolate on a large scale every day since friday night.

and ive just been eating whatever i fancy, no calorie counting. and no exercise...

just had to confess about my binging ways in the hope that it might make me stop!! STOP. i was so close to my goal, but i think i've ruined it...

i joined the gym here though - it's about 2 minutes walk away! and signed up for classes, so i HAVE to go because I paid. I'm also doing trampolining today, so...

hmm.

monday was a little bit of a binge.... today i'm working on day 2.....
