Favorite Food for Bingin'

Blach - I just ate a WHOLE far of pickles following my tomato soup and grilled cheese dinner.


Argh.  Ever since I was a little kid, I've had this affinity for pickles!  Now I feel sick to my stomach.


Haha, anyone else ever do this kind of thing?

I'm also this way with celery and tomatoes.

I just can't get enough of 'em!

I have low blood pressure, so I guess the sodium is good for me.

Beans. As weird as it is, one time I binged on 6 cans of beans in one day. My FAVOURITE are kidney beans...

next would have to be Fiber One cereal.

Needless to say I get my Daily reccomendation of Fiber, har har.

Wish mine where as healthy as yours :/

Mine use to be cookies and a ton of them...:/

Peanut Butter if I don't get a handle on it.

Crackers

Cereal

Cherry tomatoes

Ack! At least you guys go for healthier options.

My one weakness

Doritos- dunno why xD

I definitely OVERLOAD on tomato paste (by the jar) nori sheets (by the pack of 10) cherry tomatoes (by the pint) and cabbage with mustard (by the head)... It gets me pretty bloated but when it is going down it tastes great! ha ha! 

Oh and I have also been know to over eat salmon because it is just so delicious & oozing with delicious & healthy fat! ha ha!

r u kidding??

I kinda agree with Agru on this one. =/

i just ate a whole jar of pickles too! i LOVE them

and 3 packets of nori sheets with wasabi flavour

i feeel so full and i havent even had dinner :(

should i still eat dinner?

pickels have like no cals!  

I binge on peanut butter, nuts, raisins, and kashi cereal.  Although I haven't in a long time so I guess thats good :)

white bread and cookies are my binge staples. 

wow, I'm actually really offended by this post.

Favorite food for Bingin'? Seriously? In case you didn't realize, bingeing is an eating disorder, or a symptom of one. You can not have a 'favorite food' for one. It is not something you plan and do for fun. You're recovering anorexic, how would you like it if I started a post saying, what's your favorite way to eat as little as possible all day? Bad example, but whatever, you get my point. 

Also, pickles? Really? I hope your joking. Do you know what a binge is? Call it over eating, loss of control, whatever those are all fine and appropriate but a binge is an incredibly self destructive stuffing of your face that is virtually unstoppable. And I got to tell you, it does not take place on zero calorie pickles alone. That sounds like an anorexic trick to me. Your body's hungry and you are feeding it a freaking jar of pickles. Jesus.

This really pissed me off. I'm a recovering BED/Bulimia sufferer and I just do not want to see a post about a girl who at some freaking pickles and whats to know what is enjoyable for other people to binge on.

Be more sensitive to people around you, especially when you yourself has an ED.

hmm well when i suffered from BED my favourite 'binge food' was umm.. let's see, open the fridge, grab a handful of cake, maybe some leftover bolognese, pasta, cheese, spoonfuls of butter straight from the tub, milk orange juice fruitsalad chicken slicesphiladelphiabreadleftovers..

yeah there'd be tears pouring down my face, i'd be gagging yet still shoving down more, trying to claw at my face at the same time to punish myself...

it was fantastic. my 'favourite binge foods' were really enjoyable.

here here laren99.

I suffered from BED as well..but I didn't find this offensive. But, I agree pickles and celery are nothing and if anything it should be titled as "over indulging" rather then binge eating.

Maybe you shouldn't click if you feel offended?

hmm i wouldn't say i'm overly offended.. it's more that i'm surprised and a little disappointed that there wasn't a bit more sensitivity. like laren99 said, if there'd been a topic called 'favourite ways of having a 400 calorie day' then there would have been uproar.. think we just need to appreciate that different people struggle with different issues... peace xxx

Frozen strawberries, and berries. Mmmm. I buy big bags from Costco and always munch on them. :)

I wouldn't call it binging thought. More like over indulgence.

 You know you don't have to have a BED or an addiction to binge on something, food, alcohol, drugs or otherwise. You all are getting very very worked up over semantics here, a word is a word.

By defnition, a binge is a period of unrestrained, immoderate self-indulgence. In terms of defining psychological disorders, yeah, a binge may be uncontrolled.

However, there is a separate food-related definition that states it's excessive OR unrestrained. You don't have to be an unstoppable eater to binge on something once and a while.

There is a difference between binge behaviors and a binge eating disorders, much in the same way there is a difference between any sort of psychological disorder and psychological behavioral characteristics. Much in the same way you're not a manic depressive if you're depressed for just a small amount of time circumstantially.

So if you don't want to hear about binging foods (because I particularly think its fun to share what I've once gone on benders with because it helps ME) how about you don't click on the thread and save yourself the offense? It's your choice.

k apologies maybe i was being over sensitive.. having one of those crabby fat days - not that it's an excuse - and my offense-taking antennae are on overdrive... i still think maybe it was a badly titled topic, considering the number of people on these boards who do suffer emotional eating problems but i take your point, and i'm sorry.

mucho love, xx

PEANUT BUTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE eating it out of the jar with a spoon!

I used to binge on cereal too, I love the refreshing rice milk against the crunchy cereal! Or I loved lots of raw oats in rice milk, again, because the milk is sweet an refreshing and makes the oats taste really nice. I am so having that for breakfast soon!!!!!!!!!!

i agree. there has been a mild case of arrogance on cc lately. not just in thread, but in MANY others as well.  anyways, this thread doesn't offend me. i've suffered and recovered from my share of eds, and although it's hard, i've learned to lighten up about posts like this. i think a lot of people need to do that too. 

SO, answering the op's question, my favorite binge food is cereal. it's the devil! especially cinnamon toast crunch... yummmm.

aah guys i'm feeling like the biggest ass right now.. i'm sorry!! :(
