ugh. i was supposed to work out today but i woke up really hungry and didn't. instead, i just started binging. of course, it has just made me depressed all day. i hate it!!! i've probably had at least 1500 cals already today. it's like 4:00 now. which i guess isn't so bad but definitely not where i wanted to be. i hate binging!!! couldn't it just go away forever? |

i binged tonight and i knew it was going to happen :( it was definitely emotional. also i haven't really eaten more than 800 calories the past 3 days which i know is bad especially considering i've been pretty active. so tonight i just scarfed down a lot. well, i only had maybe 200 calories or so for the whole day so i should have expected once i started eating a real meal i wouldn't be able to stop. at least i stopped when i did or it could have been worse. going to workout tomorrow though to get some of it off. |

| Health & Support | binge eating | Mar 22 2009 02:17 (UTC) |

Hi. I am going through the same thing. Have been for the last few years. Every time I binge, I feel so guilty and sick and look up different websites to try and find ways to stop it. Then I do good for a day, maybe two, once I actually went 10 days binge free, but I always slip back up. I know that I feel a million times better when I don't binge, yet sometimes once I start eating I just can't stop. I don't know what to do with myself either because I feel like it will never end. I've read books and websites and talked to my doctor, but it seems like nothing ever works. I've figured that I binge because of stress and sadness, but even knowing my triggers doesn't help. I make a vow every day I will not binge and more often than not I still do. I am embarassed and disgusted living with this disorder. So it's not really advice, but I just wanted to share my story and let you know that you are definitely not alone. |

| Health & Support | Do guys binge? | Mar 18 2009 20:32 (UTC) |

Yes, guys do binge. I am a guy and I binge. For me, a binge is not just overeating, but when I am eating and I feel like I cannot stop. I don't feel like I am in control when I binge. Also, I usually eat really fast and zone out when I binge. So basically what I guess I'm trying to say is that just because a guy can down a whole pizza, I don't think that necessarily constitutes a binge unless he feels out of control doing it. I've always felt that overeating and binging are two similar but also different things if that makes any sense. |

oh. i know what u mean. cereal is such a binge trigger for me. i can't stop once i start. i'm so out of control with it. i tried to give it up for lent, but i definitely couldn't make it. i wish i would have because then it would have meant less binging. the only alternative is oatmeal, which i don't binge on. but when there's cereal right there ready to eat out of the box, i tend to grab the cereal before the oatmeal :( |

i don't know how many cals i had, but i did very reasonable yesterday. i had a fiber one bar for breakfast, then just had small amounts of everything except the salad during dinner. however, leftovers are the devil because i have probably actually eaten more today than yesterday :( oh well. |

just want to say i know what you are going through. i have been binging a lot more than usual lately too. i basically spent the entire other day depressed after binging late night the night before and then the next morning. i know how it feels once you start eating and you can't stop...it's uncontrollable. i don't have any advice but just want to let you know that i am going through this too |

binging sucks!! just binged 3 days in a row. i feel like when i'm at home and i start eating i just can't stop. it's funny because once i leave the kitchen i'm usually good but it's just leaving that i have a hard time doing. probably has a lot to do with the fact that i usually don't eat that much during the day. really need to work on that. |

did well the last 2 days but then binged tonight. i knew it was going to happen too and i just let it. basically i totally don't want to go to my classes tomorrow and i have homework to get done and for some reason it seemed like binging will just eliminate it???? oh well. i guess day 1 again tomorrow. |

i haven't written on here in awhile. basically today is kinda my 3rd day binge free. i say kinda b/c i overate and kinda started binging but i was able to stop myself before i got too far. i barely ate 400 cals til tonight then i had soup, a baked potato and a big plate of mac and cheese. felt guilty and almost just gave up and binged on a whole box of cereal, but i had maybe a cup or so and stopped and i'm still probably ok calorie wise for the day. hopefully i can continue this pattern of non-binging. i wish you all luck too. |

| i gained weight on paxil, but it didn't bother me too much. what was bad was that i was wanting to sleep all the time. so i got off it and went back to zoloft which is what i started with. | |||
| Weight Loss | night eating | Sep 08 2008 04:51 (UTC) |
|
| depends on how many calories you had during the day. if the nighttime eating goes over your allotted calories, then it may affect weight loss but otherwise it shouldn't. | |||

| haven't been on here in awhile. had a few bad days, but hoping to do better in this new month. trying to implement more portion control, realizing that i don't have to keep eating and eating when i have one bite of a "bad" food. hoping to stick to a 1500-2000 calories a day rather than starving one day, binging next. also trying to focus more on schoolwork rather than food not that classes are back in session. | |||

| i know...i don't usually post except for after a binge, even though i still read this daily. probably stress and boredom are two of my main triggers. also, a lot of times when i'm at home and start eating, i just can't stop. been doing ok today...not the best, but ok. classes start tomorrow so hopefully that will help me...hopefully ;) thanks for the support. | |||

| ugh. i totally went on a horrible, junk food laden binge tonight. chips, a slice of reese's pie, cheesecake, animal crackers and some other crap. i've been binging every other day lately...so annoying. can't get past two days binge free. i have hope for the new week though. | |||

| are you eating at home or work? if at work, maybe pack a little less. if at home, maybe eat a certain amount of food, take a break, drink some water, and then if you're still hungry have a healthy snack like fruit or veggies. how many calories are you eating at lunch anyway? maybe it's not that bad, considering you do a workout everyday. | |||

| today i've just been eating and eating. yesterday i exercised in the morning and had a fairly good day. i mean, i kinda binged at night but it was mostly on vegetables and some pretzels and i didn't feel too bad. but today has not been good. i need to figure out something to do on these days when i am at home all day instead of eating and just laying around. well, at least school will be starting back up soon so i hopefully will be able to focus more on that than food. | |||

| overeating: you know you are overeating, your mind is there, you can stop yourself but the food tastes good so you keep going
binge: you have no control, you are thinking about your problems, guilt, etc. NOT THE FOOD. |

How come I’m not losing weight?
Your workout routine is commendable but you are eating too many calories to lose weight. 1500-1700 calories a day is more like a maintenance... Read more
