what are your worst binge stories?
almost an entire menu?
multiple drive thru stops?
what is the MOST you ever took in in a binge?
just curious
There Jesselou, I bet my binge stories make yours seem pretty tame. :D
I've never counted, but I bet I've easily topped 15,000 calories in one round before. So let's hear some of yours. It's only fair.
ok
are you ready?!
well.....when I was 19 (when I started gaining, how odd) we used to compete on how many fast food chains we could dupe to get free food.
So, one Saturday night, me and my mate went to her bf house which was 3 hours away. And we decided to hit every possible Macdonalds, Burger King, and REd Rooster on the way.
i do not want to calculate, but add up 4 big macs, 8 cheese bugers, 4 whoppers, 3 large fries, 2 sundaes, 6 hashbrowns, 1 whole roast chicken and a small coleslaw, and thats what we did. between 2 girls, aged 16-19.
OMG I LOVE Wheat Thins! I can eat a whole box in one day!
- A pint of chocolate peanut butter cup ice cream
- An entire bag (5 servings) of gummi bears
- A 3 serving bag of cheetos
- 20 oz grape soda
Yikes D: This was ages ago, but I felt soooo crappy after that
Mmmmm-- well till this day one of my favorite foods is Popeyes spicy fried chicken. Any time I get a box I can still put down 5-6 pieces easily plus about a pint of their cajun rice and cole slaw. Needless to say, I haven't gotten a box of Popeyes in over a year.
When I was 14 years old my friends and I had a pizza eating contest at a buffet and I and one other person tied for first by eating 15 pieces each. I only weighed about 110 lbs. at the time.
I also ate an entire 14" sausage, mushroom and tomato pizza from Vito and Nicks in Chicago. Let me tell you that it is no easy feat b/c they put a TON of fresh mozz. cheese on their pizzas so they are very,very rich.
Well, for starters, my mom shops at Costco. So if she buys anything unhealthy, she buys A LOT of it at the same time, lol.
My sister and I have had some pretty wild slumber parties where, as a group, we all just attack the pantry. Its gotten pretty horrible. Going through huge things of cookies, eating all my haloween candy at once, lots and lots of ice cream...I couldn't really tell you which binge was my worst though...
I also visit my boyfriend at college a lot, which means lots of drinking, and lots of drunken-calls to whatever place is still delivering at 1 am (and in a college town, that's a LOT of places!)
My worst day was about 8000-10 000 calories
- 10-15 cream biscuits
- 1 jar pb (really small one)
- 6 slices bread
- 1 whole bag of M&M's (family size)
- 2 huge bowls of ice-cream with topping and sprinkles
- 4 packets of medium chips
- 1/4 jar nutella
- take away noodles
- 1 pot chocolate mousse
- half box crackers
- Bowl od crunchy nut cereal with cream
I think there was more but my brain has blocked it. I ate all that in about 5 hours. As soon as i became a little un-full, i would eat again 
To share a more recent binge episode-
The other week I had 9 or 10 grilled cheese sandwiches. White bread slathered in full-fat butter (two sticks worth by the time I was done), three slices of full-fat american cheese on each sandwich. Dipped in ranch dressing (full-fat) Plus two bowls of top ramen soup on the side.
Eating all of that just made me hungrier though. I had to force myself to not go make more (I can't afford binges like that!)
A meatloaf, the serving bowl of potatoes, and a pan of cornbread.
36 Ferrero Rocher candies and 4 slices of Meatlover's Pizza.
A whole roasted chicken and a Chocolate Pie.
5 sausage/egg/cheese biscuits from McDonald's followed by a 1 lb. bag of M&M peanuts.
On several occasions I have hit McDonald's, Chik-fil-a, Wendy's and the donut shop, then took it all home to chow down on. Just a few binge trips.
During each binge episode, I ate as if I was in a "trance". Just mindless eating and it felt as if I was "high". Completely out of control. It was like I wasn't even there, if that makes any sense.
today i had a pound of pretzels and 4 cups of raisin bran crunch.
its only halfway through the day and im supposed to go out to dinner. ughhh
Some of you are serious light-weights. Haha.
Your "binges" are what my diet looks like on a good day :P
I'm jealous of that amount of self-control.
this might not have been my biggest binge, but it was the only time i actually drove around to different places.
backstory: i was out drinking at a friend's party, got pissed, and decided to drive home at 7 in the morning (without having slept at all), still drunk (VERY STUPID, i know).
so, first i went to a deli and got a bacon, egg & cheese sandwich on a plain bagel. then i went to mcdonald's and got pancakes w/ sausage. then i drove to dunkin donuts and ordered a box of munchkins (which i shockingly didn't actually finish- i felt pretty sick after maybe 10 so i ended up throwing them out). then i went to burger king to get a diet coke.
that was really embarassing to admit.
Ok...this happened about a month ago. I remember it vividly. It was really an all day binge.
Breakfast: 4 Otis Spunkmeyer muffins (blueberry, banana nut, and two chocolate chip), a toasted cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese, a biscuit with sausage, a banana, and yogurt.
Lunch: Whataburger cheeseburger and large fries. Large sweet tea.
Afternoon: Fried taquitos, bbq meatballs, eggrolls, and two pieces of birthday cake and fruit punch.
Dinner: Another monstrous cheeseburger from a specialty burger restaurant that was topped with avocado, cheddar cheese, mayo...everthing bad. This was served on a toasted buttered bun and came with amazing sweet potato fries. Needless to say I cleaned the plate.
After dinner: 3 amaretto sours, a cranberry vodka, two beers.
I'm be interested to know what people think the advantages of this thread are.
Worst binge ever:
Like 5 of those Fiber One Bars
2 Packs of Smores Poptarts
2 Burritos and a pack of potatoes from Taco Bell
A box of chocolates
A few hours later....and it all came rushing out. A terrible combo when you haven't had really any sugar in weeks.

Makes you realize you aren't the only one out there. Misery loves company, you know?
I have always been a big eater. Everyone is shocked by the amount of food I can eat and never get sick. Sweets are my downfall by far. I have had some pretty horrible binge experiences lately and I am trying to get it under control. Not proud of this at all, just sharing my experience. Last week after I dropped my daughter off at school, my 4yo son and I drove to the local bakery and after spending 10 minutes eyeing the cases of treats I ordered: a chocolate croissant, a p-nut butter chocolate chip cookie, a strawberry danish, a cream cheese danish, and a HUGE iced brownie. I told the lady I was buying it all to share with co-workers. I proceeded to eat every single crumb of it all on the drive home and then made sure to throw the box away before I got home. My son was very confused - not proud at all. I want to get to the point where I can go into the bakery, pick out one treat, eat it like normal, not feel guilty and go on with my day. It seems to be all or nothing with me. Either I am a food Nazi and won't as much as touch the stuff, or I eat everything I can get my hands on. I will break this cycle!
I am addicted to bread and peanut butter. A few nights ago, I ate over half a loaf of bread at 3am...after drinking of course. That is only time that I have a really hard time with my eating is after a night of drinking. I can eat half or more of a peanut butter jar in one sitting. I don't want to do that anymore!!
I know that I have wrose binges than that, but that is all I can think of.
Actually...A few days ago I ate over a jar of So Good butterscotch swirl ice cream in one sitting.

I think that when everyone shares their stories that not only do we realize that we are not alone, but it takes some of the shame that I, for one, has always associated after a binge. I am actually really grateful that I stumbled across this thread because I never really thought of myself as a binge eater even though that's exactly what I was. I have always liked to to eat and when I was in high school we had to sell candy to raise money for our club. One day I came home and I ate about 10 of the huge rice krispies treats, I don't think they make those jumbo sizes anymore thankfully. I then had to ask my mom for money for school to pay for all the candy I ate, I never told her the reason for it because I was too ashamed.
Now, I no longer keep junkfood in the house and am meticulous about measuring all my food out because I know if I do not weight it on the food scale, I will eat the entire box of cereal. I have been getting better though. Last night I left a bunch of fries on my plate because I only wanted a few. Even a few months ago, I would have finished them even though I was full.
