enough is enough. NO MORE BINGEING.

(edit: changed the name of the group, since everyone is at different days)

So since I've started using calorie counter, i've lost 15 lbs and I feel great! But more recently I have starting bingeing horribly, my stomach feels like a bottomless pit and nothing seems to satisfy me. I know how horrible it is, and the reasons why I binge(whether its emotional/life etc) but nothing stops me.

I have come to the notion, that I keep telling myself 'never again' although this just starts the bingeing cycle. The all or nothing thinking gets me everytime and usually if I eat too much before noon (aka over my calorie intake), i just put everything in and keep eating like that all day because the whole day is ruined.

NEW THINKING: I'm going to move on and don't let my overeating result in ruining the rest of my day.

I found this in another forum, and I want to quote it: it really pushed me to make this post :

"It's a misconception for us bingers that binging is inevitable. The urge to binge, like the urge to do anything else, can and will pass if we give it time. But time is also an issue for us. We tend to be impulsive by nature and once we feel we've hit that point of no return, we believe there's no sense in trying to stop it. Having said that, there is also wisdom in knowing your triggers and staying clear of them for a time, learning how to deal with your emotions/stresses in a more effective way, and getting support."

Anyways ANYONE who wants to start this no bingeing journey ...join.

WE can get through this TOGETHER one day at a time.

Oh, and I will also be deleting my account here soon, as it has been not such a great experience for me. 

Don't get me wrong ; the support and the people are great, but it has helped me fuel my ED, not become healthy and balanced.

Listening to your body is a better way to be healthy..

Good luck to you all!

I'm new here, and I've been a binge eater since I was a child. When I came to university I started binging with more frequency and severity. Four years later, although I haven't gained much weight, it is a dreadful compulsion. I get no pleasure out of it. It costs me a fortune. I have become secretive and anti-social. I don't trust myself around food, and simply can't understand how other people have the self control to eat sensibly. I've never told anyone.

I have decided to make a drastic change in my life. I am moving to a new house at the end of this month. I smoked my last cigarette yesterday. Yesterday's binge was my last ever. Mind over matter. No more locking myself in my room surrounded with dirty plates and wrappers.

I realise that making several large changes at once isn't necessarily the best way to go about things, but my bad habits trigger each other. I know that saying "never again" is a bad idea. However, I feel that I will be more successful by wiping the slate clean and taking responsibility for my actions.

(In other words, count me in)

Hi my name is April I am just so despaired I just cannot stop eating. I say to my self this is no good for me, but I end eating tons and tons of food, I have been struggling with my weight since I remeber, but no diet is good, because if I feel sad or stressed out guess what I eat eat and eat..... I just hate my self right now for not being strong as I used to.... :(
