Your Worst Binge!

We've all had those days. You know the ones when you eat a little too much and have a massive food baby after? Yeah, binges are horrible.. but no matter how discouraged you may feel afterwards, it's important to remember everyone slips up and you just need to start fresh tomorrow! So, this thread is for all of us who have overeaten before to share your experience with others, laugh about it and move on (:

 

I'll start it off!

I've had mannnnyyyy binges before and they have not been very pretty.. but I'm still alive lol. Here are a couple (each in one sitting):

* chicken sandwich, fries, pecan pie, strawberry cake, milk, snickers, honeybun, twix bar, hot fries chips, egg omelet, cinnamon bun, oatmeal cookies, cupcakes

* large dairy queen snicker's blizzard, chicken kitchen mexican chop chop, cheetos, tuna w/ crackers, sprite

* deli turkey sandwich, pizza, ravioli, chicken sandwich, fries, chocolate cake, milk, sugar cookies

* hot dogs, oreos, milk, rice w/ vienna sausages, coke, cupcakes

* entire pack of mint oreos, gallon of milk

Im hoping by writing this it will stop me binging again! Im 7 days without and feeling better. Managed to gain 6 kg in the last 2 months from binge eating and im back on the wagon and trying to lose steadily....

 large bag of hersheys kisses, packet of chewey mints, whole bag of chocolate chip cookies 300g, bag of dried cranberrys, 2 cereal bars (not the healthy kind!), bag of sugar coated cookies, blueberry muffin, date scone with butter, 2 bowls of cereal with milk, 6 slices of toast with peanut butter, 10 toffees, 2 crakers wioth cheese. I basically ate all afternoon then had to go out for dinner with my work and pretend i hadnt eaten..... I had the sorest stomarch! What should have been a lovely and healthy meal out i runied by binging before it

YUK!

This thread is actually making me feel much better. I just had a small, not-really-a-binge tonight (about 700 or 800 oopsie cals after dinner), but reading all this makes me remember what I used to do in college. I had a room to myself, and I wasn't being the healthiest eater. After I had a sensible dinner in front of my friends (which a lot of times was the first meal I'd have that day), I'd stay up doing homework, starving, until the take out places were about to close (something about it being "now or never" always pushed me to finally eat). Then I'd order food, but for whatever weird college reason I thought it was only ok to get delivery if it was like "girls night in," like only a loser would realize they were hungry and order a sensible amount of food just for herself. So I'd order enough for them to bring a big bag full of food so that if anyone saw me go sign for it, it would obviously be for like three or four people. I'd get a small pizza or a chicken parm grinder, a huge order of spaghetti and meatballs and two salads, or order chinese and get soup, two appetizers, and two entrees. While I was going downstairs to get it I'd still be telling myself that I was only going to pick a few bites out of each container -- yeah right! I vacuumed all that food down on my bed with my eyes glazed over like a zombie before I even realized what I was doing. Oy. Not healthy.

 

I'm on day 6 of a second try at calorie counting.  I have also started volleyball training, so my body feels good and tight...

BUT last night after practice, I was SOOO hungry... I vowed to eat a healthy, light snack.  SO, I made a whole wheat pita with lettuce, tomato and a slice of cheese w/ a little dressing... don't know how 'light' the snack was to begin with.  Okay so after fighting with my urge to eat... I lost... I went downstairs and had some nachos and dip, a lean cuisine, a brownie, and some pizza... I literally wanted to throw up after...

silentsdeadlyrose- you sound just like me....i used to bindge like a maniac.... i gained 40lbs in 3 months. i think it might have even been less then 3 months. well dumbest thing ive ever done in my life. wasnt worth it one bitt!!!!...have you lost any of it?

My worst ones:

- One 200g chocolate bar, 5 mini donuts, 2 HUUUGE crepes with whipped cream and jam, a HUGE bag of licorice (musta been lke 400-500 g?)

- (Note: this was NOT in one sitting! Throughout a day!) 24 pita breads, 1 tub of 30% margarine, ½ a kilo strawberry jam, some pieces of homemade pan bread (this happened yesterday)

Well be4 this diet i had a few binges week.


Mostly pizza.I would eat 1 and half pizza during the day plus 4 or 5 cokes.


Past 5 months though ive been realy strict and not one binge.


I had throat problems from acid reflux so i had to turn everything around.

So glad I found this post :)  Pizza is a BIG problem for me too...just last night I snarfed down 5 slices of pizza, two bread sticks, one cinna stick and 240z of pepsi...I could have eaten more but there had to be some kind of stopping point.  I didn't even think my stomach could hold that much food

oh man... just had a bad one:

about 2 cups of caramelized pecans

a handful of dried cherries

took a bite of about 5 different cereals in the closet

a graham cracker

a slice of pizza

4 mouthfuls of heavy whipped cream

8 spoonfuls of jam (gross right?)

a fruit and nut bar

I don't even want to think about how many calories.  Reading this thread makes me feel better though.  I'm hoping that writing this down will help me to end this nasty habit once and for all!

I'm loving this thread.. makes me feel better that others have the same 'guilty' feelings after they binge

this weekend I didn't even log calories cause I knew I would cry when I saw the numbers I put up eating the way I did.

I had about 8 beers friday night (ugh).. saturday my hubby came home with a Sicilian pizza and I think I ate about 5 pieces in like 45 minutes (I could have eaten more, but I put it away).. then sunday I had more pizza for lunch (2 HUGE slices) and made Taco's for dinner and had about 5 helpings..  ugh!

I have to make myself accountable for the food that I eat so that I can change my ways.. or I'll just keep overeating and all of the hard work I put in during the week won't even matter!

Glad to know that I'm not alone!

thanks OP for starting this thread!

I'm a recovering bulimic so some days I might binge off and on, some days I swear I'd eat 8000 calories or something, but of course I didn't keep it down >_<

*1/2 a cake, 1/2 medium pizza, 3-4 candy bars, box of cookies, milkshake, 4 donuts

That was most of my binges, one or two things might've switched w/ something else. I couldn't fit all that in my stomach, I was 5'5 115 pounds at the time, so I might stop 2-3 times to throw up during eating all that. Luckily it's been a couple months since I've purged.

My non-purge binges usually included just one or 2 foods. Like 1/2 a box of cookies and 1/2 a pizza or something. So they weren't quite as bad thank god. Can't believe I used to binge like that. Usually if I get the urge to binge now I try to "binge" on healthy foods that I've labeled as "bad." For example nuts, pasta, bananas, etc. So even if I rack up the calories it at least has some nutritional value.

Well yesterday I binged pretty good so lets see what I ate:

Breakfast: 1 tiger tail donut, 1 cherry filled donut, 1 cinnamon donut, and 3 donut holes, all full size from a local donut shop.

Lunch: 1/2lb burger on bun, 1/4lb burger on bun, large beef hot dog on bun, corn on the cob, brocolli.

dinner: 1/2lb double hamburger on bun, 1/4lb hamburger on bun

snacks: 3 packs peanut butter crackers, 2 boxes of raisins, 1 cup granola, 4 ice cream sandwiches, Popsicle, about 3/4 cup of trail mix.

That's just the stuff I remember, had stomach pain and broke out in sweats last night from eating all of that. I had my gallbladder removed and eating high fat foods causes me pain I think because its harder for my body to digest it now with nowhere to store extra bile to aid in fat digestion.

 

I was doing really well yesterday until last night, when I had:

several handfuls of vegetable thins

a couple large spoonfuls of peanut butter

6 slices of a veggie pizza

4 large spinach rolls that were stuffed with mozarella cheese

I could tell horror stories of all the massive amounts of crap I'd eat back when I was bulimic.

Like: a half gallon of frozen yogurt, half a bag of doritos, a bowl of pasta with cheese and sauce, about 4 of those "100 Calorie" packs, hummus and pita chips, maybe half a bag of dried fruit, and whatever the hell else was in reach (would've grabbed the cat probably if he wasn't so fast)... and the disgusting thing is that all this food would be consumed in under an hour. Then of course I'd throw it all up then go to the gym for 2 hours.

I still have no concept of how to eat normaly. It's either starvation or stuffing myself sensless. It's comforting reading these stories though, just to know I'm not alone in this struggle. I wish I could just be one of those people that eat sensibly all the time and never crave anything. Do they exist, lol????

Typical Day for me before changing my lifestyle:

McDonalds 2 Egg McMuffins & hashbrown for breakfast. Burger King chicken sandwich, a cheeseburger, & fries for lunch. Wendy's Homestyle Chicken sandwich, baked potato with cheese sauce for dinner. Oh and about 10 cans of regular pepsi. Yum.

Addicted to fast food? Yeah, pretty much.

My eating day consist of...

 

3 eggs, hash browns, toast, and 3 pieces of sasauge

1 grilled crunch wrap supreme

1 chicken buritto

1 chicken soft taco

1 French bread pizza (four cheese)

1 box of macaroni and cheese deluxe

1 box of mozzerella filled pretzel bites

Gross, huh?

 

Worst binge ever was after a long day a long time ago, and was right before I decided to make a dramatic change. 

- 7 x cake brownies, 3 large bowls of cereal, 4 large pieces of deep dish pizza and 2 cosco cookies. 

 

And I ate this at night, at around 8, after eating regularly the whole day. 

I used to eat alot. A McGriddle breakfast sandwich from McDonalds with 2 hashbrowns for breakfast.  3 piece combo meal from KFC upsized on the fries and drinks for lunch. 2 16oz burgers with 2 lbs of fries for dinner home cocked. I used to eat this every single day. SO I would say everyday was a binge eating day for me. I always felt happy after eating so I ate.

That's how I got to 235 in one year from 190 lbs.

Now I I'm having a hard time eating 1500 calories a day. I even tried to stuff a few servings of doritos in me and the calories still only got up to 1400.

But yeah I USED to binge eat but I never ever do it any more.

 

EDIT EDIT EDIT

 I just did a calorie count average on what I used to eat and I came up with:

Breakfast: 1020

Lunch: 1828

Dinner 2408

That's like 5256 calories I used to eat like 5 times a day!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!

no wonder I was fat.
