I'm feeling very discouraged. I've been binging almost daily since mid December, and I can't seem to stop. I'm going to try to see a doctor or mental health specialist about it. Sometimes I manage to have two good days, and then things always come crashing down on the third. My diary is open but not representative of what happens, since I usually stop logging binges at some point in the evenings because it's too much work (I do track it all in a food diary though, so I am aware of what goes in my mouth). I'm feeling completely out of control.0

I also will do good, then if I binge I do not enter that in as well. You almost feel ashamed by what you are doing. To be honest I went and got help from a professional and they gave me a medication called Vyvanse and it has helped me greatly. I was out of control, I was powerless against sugar and snacks and I would eat to the point of being sick, I would hide and lie about my eating. It affected all parts of my life and led to weight gain, and depression. I am not saying medication is the answer, but in my case it has helped me greatly.0

after your first binge, are you bingeing again because you figure you already blew it? give yourself permission to binge on what ever. this is where they say get the "diet" out of your life. don't let a diet rule you. you rule you. if your body needs something you will know. before you binge don't think about "diet". ask yourself what's going on? am i hungry? is it stress? take a few minutes to examine the whys. if you plain just want it. go ahead and have it. it's surprising that when you give yourself permission to binge, or just eat a "bad" food. it isn't a big deal. guilt from the "diet" mind i think is what can fuel a binge. food is for fuel and for pleasure. enjoy it. it can take along time to over come binge eating. one step, one day at a time.0 -
I'd be interested in a daily check in! Afternoons are the hardest for me, I find myself alone in a quiet house and, I dont know, lonely or bored, both probably. Today was obviously not so great, since it drove me to search out this group, but Im optimistic with the weekend coming and more people in the house that this is a good time to start. Ill check in again tomorrow.0

Technically, I blew it today. We had Chinese buffet for lunch. It was not my choice. I logged the calories as best I could. The lo mein got me. I love lo mein. Tomorrow all that MSG will come crashing down in a big old water retention hell storm.
So, I don't really know what my calories were for the day, which usually trigger *dramatic drumroll* A BINGE! But I'm resisting, and instead I indulged in a bottle of very good light beer. And a cup of coffee.
I think that deep down, a week of diligence in the eating and workout department without scale movement bothers me. There was not one thing on that stupid buffet that really tasted great. Or even really good.0 -
Great job on resisting! That's amazing that you went to a buffet and didn't totally lose control. I can't even imagine what would happen if I went to a buffet, the owners would probably change the rules about unlimited food thanks to me. Ha! But seriously, great job. Sometimes I feel like I waste calories on things I don't enjoy, but hopefully you at least got some good company out of it. And although it's frustrating the scale hasn't moved much, there's a good chance you have a "whoosh" coming your way. So keep up the great work!0

Great job! That's something I struggle with too. Once I feel like I "blew it" for the day I just keep eating and eating0

Today I feel good. Had to tweak my medication yesterday and spent the day not being hungry at all. But I forced myself to eat, as I know that I need to eat food to stay alive. Lol. Today I am noticing the same thing where I have no appetite but I will try to eat something here shortly.
Happy Friday to one and all.0 -
So far so good today. I am "on plan". (It's only 9am here, but I am optimistic!) Yesterday's trip to MSGland did not trigger the binge from hell. I woke up feeling puffy, but good. Today is a day off from work for me, so I am staying busy with chores, then a house full of twelve year girls for a sleepover tonight. There is an abundance of junk food. I am not tempted. All that yuck from yesterday's buffet seems to have " jerked a knot" in me. Just don't want that sluggish, drudgy feeling.
I sure hope y'all all have a good day full of peace and good, healthy choices!

I feel like I am always the "negative nancy," but I am not having a good day. I have dim sum plans this afternoon and so have begun the anticipatory eating. Luckily, I don't have much at home so have had to go buy stuff but still it's not a good day. I really hope to stop binging after the meal. I don't feel I am binging yet, but I am definitely overeating and definitely eating stuff I don't allow myself to eat unless I'm binging. Ugh.0

This life is a constant struggle of ups and downs. Right now you just happen to be on a down cycle and I am sure it will turn around. Believe me we have all been there. I just got off a down cycle that lasted 3 years lol. But it does get better. But at least you are aware of what you are eating and you acknowledge what you are taking in is over your limit. Make sure to track the foods, and use it as a reminder for the next time.0

Well, Negative Nancy, you ain't the Lone Ranger today. The stress of a house full of twelve year old girls plus the abundance of junk food got the best of me. I screwed up. The s'mores over the open fire did me in. On the one hand, I was only about 300 calories over goal. Then again, I was 300 calories over goal.
I want to say that tomorrow will be better. But we are taking the church youth to a.concert. A long, loud one. The only foods the arena offers are things that are far less than healthy. But, there will be lots of walking, maybe even running- it's a general admission show lol
So I close the day with pessamistic snarkiness. Binge eating disorder SUCKS >:-(

Today will be better! And 300 calories is not bad, I stopped logging at 6315 calories yesterday because it was too much work haha! Keep us posted on how it goes at the church event. You did a great job eating out the other day, so remember that you have the power this into a good experience and that you've done it before!0

Yesterday was bad for me. I worked at the concession stand and ate ~1000 calories worth of candy. Going back today and I've already run 20 miles so sugar cravings are real and I've eaten near my calorie goal already (at 12PM) Today will be tough.0
