| Im in the exact same scenario as you are right now (only I'm not injured) with the whole binging thing. Im a second year college student on the X-C team and these past few weeks have been so hard for me because I've been like binging hardcore, and I've been gaining weight, and its been so hard to stop! If you want to talk about anything, you can message me! | |||

| I am in the exact same boat as all of you right now! I feel like before college, when I was in high school, I felt like I was in control of everything food related. I regularly counted calories and crunched numbers like it was my job. I was able to maintain my weight at 105 lbs (5'1 height). Then college happened. I was so afraid of eating cafeteria food b/c I felt like I had no control over how it was prepared.... so I kept a lot of food in my room. This ended up being a bad thing b/c any time I felt anxious or stressed or bored, it would lead to a binge! Now I'm embarassingly 10 lbs heavier then when I first started and I can say that alcohol had nothing to do with it. I just can't get the same regimented mindset I once had b/c I feel so overwhelmed by how much I have to lose. And now its affecting other aspects of my life... like school and running for my college team!! I'm so unhappy and I feel like I need help... but I guess its sort of reassuring to know that I'm not the only one with this issue. |

| I completely and 100% agree! I just binged today and now I feel like crap because Im already at 1400 cals and its not even the end of the day! I was supposed to go running today but I totally got stressed out about it, which led to the binging on Peanut butter and luna bars! I feel like such a failure right now.... I'm supposed to be home from school enjoying the summer, and this is what I do.... great! Anyway, Im willing to support anyone and everyone who needs it! |

| I have the same problem too!! I lost 22 pounds and gained ten of them back! (Unfortunately due to freshman year)... I haven't had a legit cycle since September of 2005. I mean its nice not having one, don't get me wrong... but I run too, so aside from the weight loss (ED two years ago), I think the running has something to do with it... But I still don't understand! I'm at a healty decent weight for my height and age ( Age 18, 5'1, 108-110ish), so Im healthy now.... Idk has anyone else dealt with this? |

| I'm definitely having trouble w/ that now! Even though I have really healthy salads and turkey sandwhichs all the time, I've still managed to gain 6 or 7 lbs!! Im on the track and cross country team as a distance runner, and I've filled out! Its disgusting!! Its actually been really bothering me... But I think i its because Ive had binging issues that have come up this year from stress. has anyone else had binging problems at the beginning of college? |

| I can definitley relate to that. Last year was when I started my recovery from anorexia. I'd eat like 600 cals from breakfast to lunch and I'd save the rest of them for dinner. And if I did not eat a treat after, I'd feel anxious and nervous and compulsive. But since college happened, I've been feeling more anxious and compulsive and have begun to binge more, and have gained 5 lbs (from 106... 5'1). I know that it isn't that bad, I have felt really bad about myself overall in general. I really want to break this mindset. I'm in! |

I also agree 100% with bjben. Falling off the wagon does not mean that the whole day is ruined and that its time to throw in the towel. Even though it seems logical to me, its just hard to internalize that. But I was wondering, bjben, how long did it take you to get to where you are today without binging? Right now its just so hard for me to break the impulsive mindset. |

Hey guys, Im joining on here too! In the past I had an eating disorder which Ive learned to control. But now since I've started college... I've gone the opposite way, and have gained five pounds. It doesn't sound like much considering I run for my school team so Im pretty active. But Im so sick of feeling like a fat and disgusting failure after I binge. It is pointless and stupid and has gotten me absolutely no where! Okay well I kinda binged today so I can't really start the day off right. Im already at 1607 cals which leaves me about 350 left for dinner (and b/c of lent we're having pizza : (). This probably won't go over too well : ( So I guess my goal will be to make my pizza healthy w/ lots of veggies... and no dessert afterwards. Then tomorrow Ill start. Good luck to everyone! |

| Health & Support | i feel physically and mentally terrible.... help? | Mar 14 2008 20:27 (UTC) |

| I know exactly what you're talking about. You're right 10 or 15 minutes is all it takes to feel absolutely disgusting. This year was my first year away from home in college, and its really hard. Any time I get stressed I start to compulsively binge on anything I have and 99% of the time, Im not even hungry!! Its become a huge vicious cycle because afterwards, I feel so angry that I want to purge soo bad, but for some reason I can't! If I were you I would talk to someone about it if it is really affecting your life. For me, it has become such an obsession with counting calories that its all I ever think about. And really thats no way to live... Im seeing someone right now to try and get it under control, and maybe you should too. Like my mom said, You have the power to control your feelings, and how you channel them. Just forget about today.... don't worry about it and start fresh tomorrow. And P.S: looking at what you've eaten today... it seems like you're really lacking in protein, which will help you feel more satiated and avoid the binging. |

| Weight Loss | so i ate 10k calories in 2 days.. | Mar 10 2008 01:42 (UTC) |

| OMG you are pretty much telling my life story right now!! Im in the
same predicament!!! I don't know what to do!! Two years ago when I had
my ED I NEVER would have touched some of the things I've been eating.
But now, I feel like its completely out of control right now, and it
happens everytime when I come home from school. And now I feel like Im
gonna die! I talked to my mom about it and she said that its probably because I don't usually eat that stuff at school so when I come home its like a treat. But for me it gets out of hand quickly!! I'm trying to control it now but its so hard! I just wanted to let you know I know exactly what you're feeling right now... feel free to message me if you want : ) Good Luck! |

| Health & Support | When does binge eating become an eating disorder? | Jan 30 2008 23:35 (UTC) |

| I too have this problem!! I was diagnosed with an eating disorder about two years ago, and have since gotten it under control. But now that Im a freshman in college and running on my school team, it just seems as though Ive gone the opposite way! Any time a major event, stressor, or some kind of change in my life happens... I start to binge and Im not even hungry! There have been times where I've felt so out of control, that I didn't even know how to stop myself and it was embarassing! Im still working on trying to control it and Ive talked to my mom about seeing some kinds of support groups... but its good to know that Im not the only one with this issue. And unfortunately, its just something that never goes away! If anyone wants to talk, feel free to add me or message me! : ) ~Bep16 |

| Weight Loss | Why do I do this???? | Jan 28 2008 02:26 (UTC) |

| Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for replying!! I do feel a tiny bit better now... I guess it was just one day out of the whole weekend. You see, Im 18 years old and in college now. I tried not to do too badly the rest of the weekend.... I run track and cross country for my school team and I ran a 5k on Friday and a 3k yesterday so Ive been pretty busy and tired for most of this weekend. I've had a slight history with ED/Anorexia in the past and now because of the new stresses college life has brought me, I've been more prone to binge (It hasn't been too bad lately and Ive been able to keep it under control for about a month or too). I asked my mom why i do this and she seems to think its probably from being overtired and stressed. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? Thanks for the reply, rgliptak! You're awsome as well!! Good luck! |

| Ummm... well to me it sounds like thats a bit obsessive if you ask me. I know where you're coming from because I was in that same situation a few years back. I still kind of am though. I run Cross Country and track for my college team. We lift weights and do circuit workouts but yet I still find time on my own to do 1600-1800 crunches a day, and if I don't do them, I feel extremely guilty. My suggestion would be that if you're that motivated to exercise that much, then I would recommend joining a sports team (like Cross Country or track). Trust me you're going to hurt yourself in the long run, especially if you're not menstrating either. Its been two years since Ive had a period, and now I face the possibility of considerable bone density loss. Im just saying to be careful with that.... Good Luck! |

| Weight Loss | Oh, come on. This is SO irritating!!!!!! | Jan 12 2008 15:55 (UTC) |

| No.... I think you did the right thing. You knew your dad wanted to treat you, and you already knew how many calories it was.... its not like you were out of control and binged. Don't worry I had about the same amount as you did. I had a bowl of kashi go lean crunch cereal with skim milk at 1:00 AM because I got back from a track meet late and didn't really have a well rounded dinner. Then this morning I woke up and had the same thing again PLUS a mini wheat bagel w/ about a tablespoon of peanut butter!! Why??? I don't know. The point is don't worry about it. Just exercise, get in more fruits and veggies later on and make it a maintenance day. Everyone has days like these. |

| Yea... I definetly think the mind frame is a big part of it.... Im a freshman in college and so I've had some trouble adjusting to a lot of things like being away from home and having so much time in between classes. That really gets me... If I have too much time, then I get bored, and thats when bad things start to happen. I'll eat something and I know Im not even hungry. Then I'll start to dwell on that and I just throw in the towel, which begins that vicious cycle and its made me really unhappy. Up until last night, however, I've been good these past two weeks, trying to listen to my intuitive hunger cues,and keeping my mind on other things. I think I've just been craving something sweet and crunchy. I probably should've just treated myself to a candy bar and been done with it. I guess Im wondering: 1.) Has anyone ever dealt with this? 2.) How should I eat for the rest of the day? |

| "Its called muscle. " Actually, no it really isn't muscle... I go to a nutritionist and when I was weighed, I noticed that I gained three pounds and that my body fat percentage was up... so no sorry its not muscle. Im now up to 112 (Im 5'1), and I really need to lose it.... I can see it in my face, hips, everywhere. It needs to stop |

| what do you usually eat for your meals? Maybe you're not getting in enough protein. You should try upping your breakfast to be about 300-400 cals... You probably still have a deficit from running, so you might be getting in less than you think... Just a thought... |

| I usually do try and eat healthy foods, but food at college is what makes everything go all down hill, particularly with the portion size amounts... I just want to eat normal meals and not the quantities people consume in one sitting at school here... Has anyone also felt this way? | |||
| Weight Loss | Wrong frame of mind... | Oct 15 2007 03:38 (UTC) |

| I do the exact same thing!! I keep track of everything I eat in my head as Im eating it! And it makes me think and obsess about food a lot more than I really need to. Sometimes I'll eat something if I can afford to eat it when Im low in cals for the day... even if I don't know if I really want it! Sometimes I don't even know what I really want anymore! And sometimes I feel like I just binge compulsively! | |||
