Binging....and not caring.

I've been binging non stop pretty much all day. But, for some reason, I seriously donn't care at all. Maybe it's because I'm raging mad or just becase I know I can and just fix it starting tomorow. I don't know. 

I just don't understand why I don't care. because, not for nothing, but i'm completely obsessed with my weight and losing weight, so I don't know anymore.

If you're binging for emotional reasons try and find something else to do to take your mind off any negative emotions you're experiencing. I suggest getting out of the house and going for a walk to cool down if that's possible, or maybe try and go hang out with some friends.

Just make sure you don't sit around doing nothing on your own or you'll keep binging until bedtime :/

If you've been eating all day and are not bothered by it then I'm don't think it really qualifies as a binge.  For many people eating all day is a normal diet.  On the other hand some people can eat a grape and think of it as a binge.

this happens to me sometimes. just as a heads up: although you might not care now, you might care tomorrow.

Hey There,

  I understand.  I have done the same things.  I have binged all day and not cared...until I get on the scale the next day.  I have tried to distract myself by getting out of the house or talking on the phone...I just find that once that's done, I still eat. 

 I am obsessed with my weight and body shape too.  All I can tell you is that I will listen, if you want to let it all out. 

It's called stuffing-stuffing your feelings down with food.  Of course you don't care...right now.  But, the pain will return tomorrow. I guarantee it.  I'm sorry if this sounds, harsh, but I've been there.  

I don't have an answer, only the knowledge that you can change, if you want to.  I believe you are worth it.  Do You?

everything lauralackner has said, i completely agree/relate to. eaten it all, tried it all, still trying to overcome... we're all here to listen to eachother and offer help when each of us are falling, too..

I can relate. I was completely obsessed with everything that went into my mouth, and working out religiously because of my terrible body image and my weight that won't budge.

After Easter, I started eating desserts and things that I really shouldn't eat and I don't care that I eat them. Not a bit of guilt in me, and I keep justifying them. I guess it is my way of losing motivation since I haven't lost weight in the previous 2 very good months? I'm still exercising but I don't mind if I skip a day or two. Today I had cake and a couple of cookies, and I did yesterday, as well, after a huge dinner and I still can't seem to care. I've promised myself that this is the last week this is happening. I hope I don't let myself down next week. :|

I hope you can find a way to stop this behaviour and exchange it for something better for yourself.

Hello all!

I'm not really new here as I am a member since march or feb I think... I have been reading posts on the forum a lot, but this is actually my first post...

I have tried to pay attention to what I eat, and how I eat, I have used the food log a lot at first, and successfully lost 5 kilos (about 11 pounds I think) in about 2 months...

but then, I started simply not caring, and not making any effort when chosing what to eat... I started eating desserts and binging regularly... I took 4 of those 5 kilos back...

I just didn't understand why I was doing that, because I definitely don't feel good with my body, I know I'm overweight, and I'm conscious that I'd be better off those few pounds... yet... I don't know. I wish I knew, so I could maybe 'fight it' and make it stop.

Lately I've decided to get back on track, and I'm looking for some kind of incentive.

maniacjthm, there is a thread where people wrote "what they won't miss about being overweight" when they're slim again: it could be interesting to have your own written down, and every time you're tempted to binge, just take the time to look at it ... Dunno if it'll work, but might as well try?

(PS: sorry about any misspelling or grammar... I'm not a native speaker...!)

Has anything happened lately since you began not caring? Any extra stresses or problems? What helped you in the past to stick to a healthy plan that you can use now? Maybe you can thing of things in life that being healthier will help and what you feel right now is negative about this lifestyle. Do you journal cause that can be helpful to see connections and also to pre plan meals and snacks

this has helped me immensely.

oh yes... i know this so well! was binging at the start of this year - i had lost weight then ate a BIT too much then it developed into sometimes this kinda thing.

now i am browsing newish forums after some period of being off the wagon and gaining back a significant part of the kilos lost.

i do hope you and me and others can overcome this tendency, whatever it is.
