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

ugh this thread jinxed me I think, I ended up bingeing this weekend after not having done it in a while.   :(  

Lots of cashews involved... and wine, of course.

Well for me, if you eat loads, even if you get totally stuffed, but you enjoy it, and you eat it because it is nice and not just because you want to stuff it in ur body aaand you dont feel guilty about it doesnt count as bingeing... just maybe as cheating one day :P, because normaly bingeing doesnt even make u feel good while you are eating it xP... i do love eating like that, even if its like loads of biscuits =D!

waaaa and why mcdonnalds :L, would u not prefer like pizza hut or... well idk =D

So easy to drive into and get a load of food for cheap. Being self-conscious = not wanting to get out of the car to get food inside. lol And tipping for delivery gets expensive! oof.

People who regularly binge can eat enormous amounts of food because of the whole stomach stretching thing.

I won't bother sharing my worst binge because it was not all that much compared to my good friend who could put any binger to shame....(though she had an eating disorder back when she used to bring regularly so she had more practise..)

I will say this however:  I can never again look at a Krispy Kreme donut... <shudders at thought>

picture this in your mind...i am 5'4 and 107 lbs...and this was my binge last week (i am copying this from where i posted it in another topic):

I binged 4 days (actually it may have been 5) out of 7. on top of my regular calories, last week i ate 3 full sleeves of ritz crackers, 1 full sleeve of wheat crackers, a dozen hershey's kisses, a dozen oreos, 8 homemade buttermilk biscuits, 2 big slices of apple pie, 4 tablespoons of almond butter, 2 slices of buttered toast, 1 packet of ramen, 2 slices of baguette, 1/2 container of strawberry cream cheese and another 1/2 container of jalapeno cream cheese, 2 big bowls of banana pudding, 4 oatmeal raisin cookies, 2 bowls of bread pudding, 1 chocolate chip muffin, 4 nutrigrain bars, cashews, dark chocolate covered blueberries, 1 packet of reeses peanut butter cups, 1 1/2 frozen pizzas (1 = 800 calories), oh and i literally drank a cup of bechamel sauce out of the pot. And that isn't even everything. I keep adding stuff to this list as I remember it lol.

I never really thought I had binge, but after reading i think i had one today? I has 2 cookies for breakfast with 2% milk. I had a healthy choice cafe steamer for lunch, a grapefruit, and 2 gouda cheeses. I had another cookie for a snack and then some cheddar sunchips.... later, and a healthy choice for dinner. I know that probably doesnt sound like alot, but if there was anything better in the house I would have eaten it. I had that starving feeling ha.

ohh yes i used to sometimes hit up a drive thru and smash in the car before i got to wherever i was goin, home, work, anywhere.

and im gna have to take it back, it has been more recently then a year or so ago that i was bingin, here at work, actually i would have days where i would eat 3 sausage egg & cheese biscuits [we sell frozen ones] for breakfast, lunch & dinner [i wk 12 hr shifts] not to mention like 4+ bags of chips, like the small dorito or cheeto bags for kids lunches, sodas, rice krispie treats, a snickers, everything.

i work in a flight kitchen and my job is to make box meals goin out on flights and also provide them for ground maintenance guys throughout their shift.

so i am surrounded by all this snack food constantly.

i would make cheese sandwiches with 2 slices of white american cheese on white hamburger buns....

i would eat it all.

and not be hungry.

i would be stuffed and groggy and bloated and out of it.

gross.

wayyyy before any of that tho, like about 2 years ago i would get mc donalds breakfast nearly every day for a while.

not that long, maybe like less then a month then stop then do it again for a week or so...

it was right on the corner on my way to work and even though i had to be at work at 430, cant beat that 24 hr drive thru!

omg!
that is the devil.

ive been doin really well at work lately, for a long time now actually, not eatin anythin here besides drinkin the bottled water or havin fruit.

i bring everything im goin to eat from home and if i run out of food, i will do whatever i can to not eat work food.

its all so bad and once i start.......

and i have sworn off those dreaded frozen breakfast sandwiches.

one of them is over 500cal, i dont remember the fat or sodium but i would be afraid to even look and know that i used to put them into my body so much.

i also try to stay busy so i'm not just sittin around listenin to the pizza delivery commercials or how "taco king delivers"

mexican delivery!!!!

so unfair!

dont wna hear it!!

You know, it wasn't denial or anything like that, but I was just insanely uninformed. I used to binge eat... Almost constantly. And I didn't even know what it "was"... I know how silly that must sound to you all. When I was still in high-school I managed a deli... All sorts of unhealthy goodies. Early in the morning, I'd buy a slice of cheesecake, sometimes two... I'd just sit there and cram it in my mouth... Barely chewing. It's not even like i was savoring or enjoying the food when I did that. Why did I DO THAT? I mean, it's so weird!!

I still get periods where I feel like I just can't "get enough to eat." That's a weird sensation, too. Thankfully, now, those really only seem to hit me certain times of the month. I didn't even realize until I joined CC that I had tendencies to binge. Not daily, mind, but often enough. (I mean, come on. I was pushing 275 lbs when I joined in January.)

Now that I'm cognizant of the problem, it really only seems to hit when my hormones are all over the place. I feel very lucky for that. But it still stinks.

And, yeah. Back in the day when we were so poor... I was like a food junkie. We were sustaining on Ramen. So if we came into a bit of money my bf and I would literally go on a food binge... It's JUST like being an addict for anything. "Oh, we have money... Let's get a pizza... Let's eat the pizza and go out for Mexican." I mean, it's just wow.

I'm glad people share these stories. We all know it's not normal or healthy to do that to ourselves, but it's comforting to know you aren't the only one and that others struggle with the same problem(s).

jesselou, I feel your pain regarding the McDonald's breakfasts.

Back in highschool I would get 3 egg & cheese biscuits and 3 hashbrowns EVERY MORNING. Every single morning for three years straight. And I'd usually get a couple orders of supersize fries for lunch.

McDonald's is such a vice for me, the only way to restrain myself has been to avoid them completely. It's been over a year since I've been to one.

Well, binges aren't really the end of the world for me, considering I'm trying to gain weight, but here's one of mine...

An apple smothered in spoonfuls of caramel and peanut butter, two mini individually wrapped krackel bars, an entire Hershey's milk chocolate egg (600 cals right there alone), 4 malt eggs, 5 milk chocolate mini eggs, two Reese's peanut butter filled chocolate eggs, 1/2 of a dark chocolate bunny, and a box of nerds.

Hahah I had a major sugar craving. And it's not like I depreived myself of any of that during the day. I just wanted it at night for some reason. Hahah

Oh, and another day, I put down an entire box (16 count) box of peeeps. Ahaha =)

I've only ever binged on healthy food, but this is what I've binged on:

One time, I ate an entire tub (1 pound) of raisins!  that's about 2,000 calories I think.  Needless to say, that's all I ate that day 

Another time, I ate an entire bag of baby carrots and 1 whole jar of salsa.  I like dipping baby carrots in salsa, lol.  Again, I was stuffed for the rest of the day!

Well, I thought I had already posted my worst, but I had one a few weeks ago that astonishes me now. I am in a much better place and have not had the "binge urge" since but here it was...

egg white, veggie, burrito

cup of fruit... so far so good, then I snapped

a large piece of carrot cake

2 small cinnamon muffins

6 pastry bites

a bear claw

a HUGE brownie that had cream cheese and frosting

8 Dunkin Donut munchkins

1 container of broccoli, cheese and rice casserole

caprese salad

an assortment of small Easter candies

3 pieces of pizza

a box of Whoppers

a dozen chocolate covered mashmellow eggs

a handful of chips (to conteract the sugar)

I have since learned that months of creating large calorie deficits when I am on the verge of being underweight was stupid and directly resulted in 2 months of weeky binges. My body was just trying to protect itself from starving. So not worth it.  

whenever i drink i can throw it down.. easily order almost 30 dollars worth of del taco to myself ..always start with a whole macho nacho to myself, then a quesidilla, breakfast burrito, bean burrito, soft taco and probably pick off others! and no one will touch my food that i order.. ugh so bad then i feel like crap the next day and theres usually macho nacho all over my clothes haha.. havent done this in about a month its usually if im with the wrong people when im drunk who can eat whatever they want.

ah i just binged tonight. brownies, cookie dough, cinnamon bread (AMAZING), bowl of cereal and some candy. ugh, never makes you feel good but it truly does help to know im not alone. 

When I was bulimic... oh my, those were horrible horrible horrible times.

Just one day I can remember: whole papa jones large "everything" pizza, whole box of chocolate whopers, footlong roast beef sub, box of chocolate chip cookies, gallon of ice cream, big mac meal from mcdonalds along with large chocolate shake, whole sleeve of roce cakes, pound of cherries, gallon of chocolate milk. I srank milk so it would be easier to throw it all up. I am so ashamed about this. I was so sick.

When there was no food and no meney I would boil rice or pasta and eat it untill I was in pain. And throw up...

i personally think that all binges are bad stories. a binge is when you lose control food-wise, and feel extreme self-hatrid and guilt afterwards.. it doesn't sound possible to have a "good" binge story to me :\

My binges always start when the day is going good then it gets to dinner time.  This is the worst I've ever done.

1/2 of a huge plate of texas cheese fries (Deep fried, with onions/bacon,cheddar and ranch for dipping)

3 Chicken Tenders

1 Cup of broccoli cheese casserolle

2 croissants

1 cup of mashed potatoes and gravy

2 glasses of coke

then for dessert......

split a 1/2 gallon of chocolate marshmellow ice cream with one other person and don't forget the whipped cream and cones!!!

GEez yeah, I can throw down some food! But Man I paid for it afterwards.

I cannot even remember what the worst was - I cannot remember specifics for any of them actually (I just feel like I do it all of the time). I have been a vegetarian for a year now - and I still manage to gain weight on a binge (not necessarily junk but not the healthiest either). I eat probably between 2-4,000 calories each time, but it could be more because when I have a day off I just mindlessly eat the whole day (slowly, but surely lol)

Its almost weird seeing other people here managing over 10000 calories when Im pretty much dead after 5000. But that must be because I never binge on fast food, ice cream, candy or such.

I. Binge. On. BREAD! And cereal, straight from the box by handful. And pancakes, oh no. My biggest weakness. Here's what I have gone through (and not just once);

2/3 of an oven-baked pancake (a WHOLE PAN, think about it! 1000 calories), then I baked some griddle bread and ate it all straight away with ½ tub light margarine and half a jar jam (some of it was on the pancake). Then cheerios by handful. And in four hours, I'll binge again (usually)

My usual set is one packet of wheat tortillas or pitas, with margarine, jam, sometimes sugar or chocolate syrup. The bread packet is 1100 calories, the jam and margarine would add 700. But usually I dont stop here.

well what i hope to have been my last binge was last night, i got so sick because i ate what i am not even supposed to have cuz it gives me severe stomach pain...

10 Luna Bars

2 Lara Bars

7 tablespoons of peanut butter

5 tofuti ice cream sandwiches

10 apples

4 greek yogurts

2 cans of beans

2 large bags of frozen vegetables

2 string cheeses

4 rice cakes

2 containers of strawberries
