Bingeing - - NO MORE!! Join for support

hey so im going to start tonight, seeing if i can stop bingeing for good, and it would be awesome if anyone else out there who also binges could try with me. each day we post one thing that helps you not binge/distracts you/or what you tell yourself to gain control, and just support each otherl. so,

MY TIP FOR TODAY:

"a moment on the lips is forever on the hips"

im babysitting tomorrow night though, and they have good food so i always lose control :( :(. but i am going to try my hardest. i dont want food to take over my life any longer.

oh and i also drink LOTS of water

I'm with ya girl!

My motivation for the rest of tomorrow is that I don't want to ruin this weekend for my friends by bingeing and then ruining plans with them... so I'm going to stay strong for them tomorrow

YES! I'm so with ya :) i'VE been doing really well the past three days and am determined to finish the week on a good note. Then, I hope to start a new job which will get me into a routine where I will hopefully not binge for maybe another week? Here's to week 2!

And I love that saying - my dad used to say that to his kids while we were growing p. a great reminder!

livetoloe: I do that too! After eating so much i feel so fat and then don't want to go out or see anyone! Plus you can hardly move after stuffing yourself, so it's a doule whammy! Def not fun :(

So here's to a great weekend out with friends, so much more worth it than the taste of that "whatever it is" :)

I have what may be a stupid question to some of you.  When people are talking about "binging" are they always purging afterwards or is it a different thing all together?

I have a tendency to WAY overeat, like 2000 plus calories in an hour, if I go to a resturant but there's no purge afterwards.  A take in a painful amount of food really.  Is this the same thing as what all these posts are talking about?

redplatforms- No, binging and purging are two different things. Binging is the extreme overeating part. Purging is vomiting and/or using large amounts of laxatives. Binging is generally not associated with purging, although some people do binge and purge (ie: bulimia nervosa).

My Quote for the week "Gravity is working against Me, Gravity Stay the HELL away from me"  (parts from John Mayers Gravity.. I love that guy)

I'm in!!!!!!!!!!! i had a terrible binge yesterday.. it seems like i set myself up for it... i went and brought a box of cereal that i LOVE.. why wuld i do that to myself.....

THe main thing that keeps my binging in control is.. NEVER buy binge food.. PERIOD>.

if its not in the house, u wont binge....    i keep alot of fresh fruit in the house and frozen veggies....  so i guess if i binge on those then who cares.

im not sure how today is going to go but that cereal is almost gone and my guilt wont allw me (for now) to binge on anything.. plus theres nothing really here..

I try to remember why i wanted to lose weight in the first place.. when i started CC i had so much control.. I counted everything..  i kno that my binging at time leads to a purge so i usually try not to do it.. plus i want to be a good role model for my daughter.. she cant see mommy stuffing her face.

also, try not to be so in control and strict..that will lead to a binge also... allow urself to have something.. weigh a serving and call it a dayy

Is taking large amounts of laxitives considered a dissorder then?

Taking large amounts of laxatives, that have not been prescribed by a physician, on repeated occasions for the purpose of trying to promote weight loss is often a "sign" of an eating related disorder.

hey redplatforms - yes, purging and taking laxatives means you probably have bulimia. ive never purged, but ive tried taking 1 or 2 laxatives a couple times, but then found out that if you use them to often, they are dangerous.

wish me luck tonight. im babysitting, gahh. they have good food :(

but im doing all right today so far. i played a sport for a little over an hour, so that was good. i had a little binge after, but not that big

Stephh11: Good luck on staying out of the  bad "good" food that the people you babysit for have! I think that's a parent rule, must have good crap for the baby sitter to pig out on! When I used to babysit they had everything from goldfish to fruit by the foots to amazing sponge bob ice cream! As for bingeing it totally sucks. I've had a few binges in my day but thankful could never get myself to purge!! I'm terrified by vomit even if it's my own so there is no way I'd voluntarily do it. 

I've found that a good way to avoid the end of the evening binge is to spread my calories out through the entire day and to not starve myself. Not like anorexia but like you think you're full even when you realize you ate a low amount of calories so you think sweet I just wont eat any more for the day. That is bad because then that's when I crazy binge so if I eat all my allowed calories and spread it out I don't binge! 

i failed so harshly. i got into their frozen cookie dough AND some ice cream. it wasnt a lot, but still....im hoping tomorrow is a better day. a way better day.....

My back has been really messed for a while now, and haven't been able to exercise. Because of this, i am having a really hard time resisting the urge to just break down, say to hell with this whole damn thing, and drag my sore crippled ass into the kitchen to polish off some tostitos and salsa.

I'm fighting the urge, tho. Once my back stops pooping the proverbial bed, i'll resume my morning walk and weight training. This should go a long way to improve my motivation to keep eating healthy. I just need some back healing jedi voodoo on your guys' part. Pray for me!

Oh, and an inspirational quote? I got one...

"If at first you don't succeed, give up! theres no use looking like a damn fool." Umm, yaaaaaa...  You might want to do the opposite of that:)

I'm in. just had a huuuge binge last night. if you don't mind, i'm going to type every single thing down that i ate just so i can see it all. ok the night started off and i was at about 750 calories for the day. this is at 6 pm. then i had...

about a cup of trail mix

a cup of some creamy shrimp and pasta casserole

two dinner rolls

2 cups of steamed vegetables

1.5 cups of bread pudding

1 cup of strawberries

4 olive garden bread sticks (ahhhh those'll be the death of me)

.25 cup of puppy chow

three reese's peanut butter cups

holy sh**

and of course i weighed myself today! gained about "6 lbs" (in quotes because i know thats not real)

so today is day 1. ran 5 miles. haven't eaten yet because i still literally feel sick from yesterday. day 1 is off to a good start.

alyssa - you said you had puppy chow?! is that ....dog food?! lol

i feel kind of sick too from last night, so ive just had a cup of milk so far, and i'm about to go referee a soccer game. sooo after that ill see if i'm hungry, if i am i'll have a fruit and crackers, then go STRAIGHT up to have a shower (no lingering otherwise i binge) maybe dance around in my room after to keep me occupied (haha), or do homework, then i have a dentists, but then guess what....i babysit again tonight. poo. i'm going to write down everything i eat though as i eat it, thats what i'm going to try

ok stephh we can do it girl! i hate doing this to myself.

ughh im so sick...i got sick 2 nights ago and was throwing up and had a fever. so i haven't binged haha which is the only good thing about being sick. i actually haven't really eaten much cause i'm scared im going to throw up. ughhh. i feel so grosssss
