Health & Support Thats it! Binge-free day #1 starts today! Jun 04 2009

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.

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

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

Why do people smile when no one’s smiling?
Its coz their thinking of someone they’re loving
Keep on believing we are meant to me and
Nothing’s stopping you and me from going to heaven
Sweetest love

I got the sweetest love there ain’t nothing sweeter
I got the sweetest love ain’t nothing beat it
There ain’t nothing sweeter

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.

they used to have those salads at mcdonalds in the cups that u would just shake w/ the dressing...those were pretty good

also there was this one cereal my mom used to buy that i think was shaped like cinnamon rolls and had honey. don't remember the name though but i loved it.

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.

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.
