- yup - know what you mean. its almost like one only have a finite supply of willpower... and you use it to fight the binge, and then you just run out....and the binge wins the round... But keep strong! 12 days is such a fantastic run - its almost 2 weeks!

Started this day with really good intentions to not let this roll continue, but they went to crap. I even had a partner in crime for this binge - my husband - why did that make it seem okay at the time?0 -

Fell apart yesterday afternoon, and gave in to the Beast. I am determined to pull myself together, and get back on track today.

I definitely overate yesterday but didn't binge. Do you guys find that it's hard sometimes to tell the difference? I went over my calories for today (but only by 500, so I basically maintained today) but I went to a social lunch thing and then had a pizza night with my fiance. I basically ate one slice of pizza and two little party sliders more than I'd planned to, but they were really good! And I didn't just wolf them down without tasting them. However it was really hard to stop myself from eating a pound of trail mix after eating that extra pizza slice...but I did it!0 -

I think what's considered a binge really depends on the individual person and their own situation.
For me at least, I don't think of binges in terms of a number of calories but rather a binge for me is when I find myself eating without a feeling of control, eating extremely quickly, and feeling strong guilt after eating an excessive amount. Often times, I'll go into hiding for the rest of the day after a binge and will just want to be left alone. Sometimes I find myself eating 4,000+ calories, but maybe I was celebrating and I felt fully in control of the situation and thus I don't consider it a binge. I'm not sure if that made any sense at all, but I hope it helps!0 -
Makes perfect sense ryanhorn.

I totally agree. For me it is much more about the feelings and emotions before, during, and after eating, than about how much or what I ate.

Went out with some friends and got a little drunk. Had that feeling of "Oh I've already screwed up my diet with beer. What difference will some more food make?" I'm feeling terrible right now.

I see what you mean. There is usually some kind of moment if I've just overeaten at a party where I'm just kind of like EFF IT and then it becomes a binge, but sometimes it's not so clear! anyways I didn't even feel an urge to binge yesterday which is awesome!

Okay, so got myself back into a good mindset yesterday after I felt so awful the day before, and hoping to continue that today! I want that Days Binge Free number to really rack up the points!!!

Days binge free: So I made it to a week before I binged heavily...I'm so ashamed of myself
. I had an unexpected stressful event occur and I literally tried to binge my pain away. I felt so disgusted with myself during and especially afterwards...I hate it. Huh. However, I have been binge free for 4 days since.
Stay strong everyone!0 -

Been a bad few days with bingeing. Hubby is on board to eat better, so, hopefully that will motivate me. Plus my tummy feels icky.0 -

After having the worst binge I've ever had two nights ago, I've decided to do something more active to finally stop this. I often have found myself after binges immediately going into a restriction cycle to "undo" binges creating a constant binge/restrict/binge/restrict wheel that never seems to end. I've decided instead of battling the binge to battle my want to restrict this time around, so I've stopped tracking calories (yesterday was my first day not tracking in two years) and "dieting," and instead, I'm going to experiment with intuitive eating where whenever I crave something, I'm going to eat it. Hopefully I'll see some progress! Wish me luck!0 -

Good luck Ryan! I do the same thing after bingeing - I wake up the next morning and think something like - well I ate x amount of calories so if I create a HUGE deficit for the next three days it'll be like it never happened! Which inevitably leads to me bingeing again two days later... Often the hardest part is starting fresh the next day and not punishing myself. Such a vicious cycle!
