oh...my...word

I think i just had my biggest binge ever. I'm kinda scared. I don't want to get fat. I don't want my stomach to explode or anything either. I ate rice cakes, tyson chicken, peas, cheese, almost half of one of those HUGE tubs of coolwhip light with chocolate sauce, 3 dark chocolate Lindt truffles, and 2 huge slices of toasted italian bread with butter. Oh yes and a large spoonful of peanut butter. I haven't starved myself for over a week. (I've been eating 2000 cals a day to maintain.) Where did this come from? How can I stop it? Help.

anyone? please?

well its near impossible to make your stomach explode unless you are force fed.... if thats any comfort....    but just ignore it and think of your calories on a month standard vs daily.  So you screwed up one day... okay well think if you stay at your 2000 daily the rest of the month will it matter in the end, not at all.

Read "The Inferno"-Dante Alligheri.  It's a book that will definetely get your mind offf over-obsessiveness.  Talks about over excessiveness and gluttonny just y the way.  It really helps and also read "Don Quixote"-Miguel De Cervantes Thats a more happier humanist.

Uh, where did it come from? You were probably hungry.

How do you stop this? Uh, eat smaller, filling meals throughout the day.

"Dont feel bad. I also just binged, on chocolate truffles, coolwhip, and peanut butter. It happens to everyone! Just start again tomorrow."

Follow your own advice from 5 minutes ago.
When you feel a binge coming on, distract yourself, or just pig out on grapes or brocolli.
Your limit is 2000 cals right now, right?
That probably wasn't even that much.
Eat dinner, take a walk, and feel better.
Promise yourself you'll beat binging and try eating a few small meals a day.

I don't think your stomach will explode. It will be okay!

The Divine Comedy (The Inferno) is only spooky if you are religious, otherwise its just more so a bed time story.

well, i am religious, but i don't think i'll have time to read a whole book tonight. But I am reassured about the whole exploding stomach thing. I'm slightly hypocondriak, and now that I look back at that it does sound silly. Also, as far as eating goes, I'm a massive hypocrite, so following my own advice doesn't really work. Thank you tho for responding so quickly because it has reassured me some.

Have you been starving yourself again?  That would explain your sudden need to eat everything in sight.  You most likely got too hungry and needed to eat.  We've told you this over and over. 

I said in my first post that i've been eating 2000 calories a day for over a week.

I binged too just a couple hours ago I had 1080 cals in like half an hour. Im at 2000 cals but its only 3:00. eek.
dont worry about it...start new tomorrow.

When I was in my 20's and early 30's I used to binge also.  I ate and ate and never felt stuffed.  Very strange.  It wasn't until I dealt with what was eating at me that I began to heal from self abuse.  My hope for you is that at some point you have the courage to deal with your emotional issues, otherwise focusing on the eating problems will just take away from focusing on what the real problems may be. . .just a thought from my personal experience.  Ignore it if it doesn't fit!!!

Many experts say that the occasional higher calorie day can be a good thing for your metabolism, keep it on its toes and the fires burning.

I wouldn't worry about it-everyone has an off day, or an extra 'hungry' day.

I just read that Marlon Brando would get a five gallon tub of ice cream, mallomars, and some other junk food, put them in his boat, row out to the middle of his lagoon, and eat all of it. On a habitual basis. He did that type of thing for over 55 years.

It's always good to put things in perspective. If you think about it, your binge would probably be like dinner and a teeny dessert to him. Actually, probably he'd try eating one of us for dessert.

Tomorrow is another day.

 

 I was typing a reply and then stopped to read yours (seekifonics) and decided just to say instead of my original post...........................WELL PUT!

Perspective is everything!

Never deprive yourself too much or it makes it harder!

welcome to my life!
I just had two really bad days 4000 calories one day 3700 the next.
I am simply just not stepping on the scale for a few days, so then next time I do the pounds that I gained ill hopefully be off and then if Im the same weight I was before the binges I just totally erase the past few days from my mind and forget about them.

I just don't know its like I go into a mindless state, I dont binge cause im hungry cause yesterday I had about 1300 calories had 2 snacks and 3 meals, and I was ending the day and all of a sudden I went to the kitchen and ....yeah.

the first day I was at work (tim hortons) and on my break I had 2 small ice capps, a cheese crossant, soup with a small bun and butter, 3/4 of a bagel, and 3 timbits! like what the hell people were like holy hungry?

I guess its a way of maintaining unfortunately I still wanna lose ten, but I diet for a few days ( I lose fast on 1300-1400 calories probably 2-3 pounds in 4 days, but I also gain quickly) and then I just go ape wild and gain it back in like a day.

seekifonics that is so funny. thank you so much for posting.

from now on anytime someone posts another "OMG I BINGED TODAY" thread this should automatically pop up as a reply. 

Thanks belladonna and sweetblea -- that made my work day end on a good note!!

FYI, more Brando behavior: his second wife reportedly found their previously padlocked fridge broken into and teeth marks in a wheel of cheese. The maid ratted on him (no pun intended) and said he'd raid it nightly.

Mmmm, cheese.

 

who is Brando? Anyway, thx for the replies.
