Binging on strange foods?
Replies

Not particularly strange but dried fruit, prawn crackers, mini poppadoms and salted nuts.
I just don't buy them anymore. Once I start, I won't stop til theirs none left.0 -
Ditto on the grapes! I just go grab a few more..then a few more...then screw it, I'm tired to walking to the fridge and the bag ends up at the couch. Could be worse I guess, but still, they are my "binge" item lately it seems without other things in my house.0

How many calories are you eating? I find the moment i start heavily restricting i screw myself and binge on anything i can.
Yup0 -
I used to eat alot of salty junk food like pork rinds and kettle potato chips, landjaegers, and unique pretzels. Ever since i stopped buying them, I have been binging on bowls and bowls of cereal. Mostly healthy cereals like raisin bran and multigrain cheerios, but if i run out, i go ape *kitten* on cinnamon toast crunch, and apple jacks. My son told me a few times to stop eating his cereals..lol0

Every once in a while I'll binge on "healthy" things in the house. I don't really know what my trigger is but sometimes it seems out of nowhere I'm stuffing my face. Hasn't happened in about a month. Here's an example of my last one:
3 turkey hot dogs on whole wheat bread as a bun
1 peanut butter sandwich
2 bowls of Honey Nut Cheerios with whole milk
4 kashi waffles
2 bags of popcorn
4 cheese sticks
I literally can't have Italian dressing in my house because I will eat the whole bottle in one day. I'll dip cheese in it, eat it plain... I have an abnormal love for foods with vinegar. Don't judge me...0 -
OP it sounds like you might benefit from counseling, to figure out the source of your binging.0

Cereal. Really comparatively healthy cereal at that. I can easily blow through a box in a day. I even made my own granola. Its a sickness.0

I just ate 5 bananas and a whole jar of peanut butter
Been there. The next day is less than pleasurable :sick:
I do this all the time. I can eat half a kilo of trail mix--"healthy food". Or a big bag of half-thawed frozen fruits (with PB of course). For awhile, I would eat dry cornflakes with mustard (wut?) because it was low-calorie. It's easy to restrict the "bad" junk, but the reality is that restricting the menu isn't actually going to solve the problem.0 -
A whole jar of peanut butter PLUS extras? That's pretty epic considering one jar of peanut butter alone has close to 5,000 calories. That's about the caloric value of one gallon of ice cream.
Speaking of, ice cream is my favorite food and my biggest weakness. I keep it out of the house because if it's here, I'm more than likely going to devour until it's all gone. But when I do have it allow myself free reign, to my utter enjoyment.0 -
Maybe you have been restricting yourself too much, Hence why you are now binging.
You should start tomorrow, and just have 'smaller' pieces of things you really crave, instead of eating it all
How many calories are you eating a day?
Maybe bump them up to 1500/1600, Eat lots of veggies, fruit, protein, good carbs etc - Should keep you full
You drinking enough water?0 -
omg, grapes. Now, I have to pre-portion them in single servings of 3 ounces.0
