    Binge: 1
    "Vacation Eating": 1

    I wouldn't really call over-eating on vacation a binge, especially since I didn't really have any healthy eating options because today we were traveling all day and we had to cross borders, meaning no fruits or veg. But I definitely ate way over... So it's not a win for me at all

    Dennis,

    Have you tried to determine why you are waking up in the middle of the night?

    Chuck

    Sorry I missed this post. I'm waking up to use restroom. I also had myself checked for infection and enlarged prostrate, but neither are causing frequent trips to restroom. It happens during the day also.

    And while at one time, I was very hungry due to restrictive diet, most of the time now its just a mindless binge for refined carbs.

    Dennis,

    Have you been checked for diabetes? Excessive urination (and excessive thirst) is one of the symptoms of diabetes. I was diagnoses with Type 2 Diabetes after seeing my doctor about excessive urination.

    Lately, I have been eating a protein bar a few hours before going to bed and that seems to curb my need to binge some what.

    I've have quite a bit of bloodwork and tests done since I've began recovering from eating disorder. No issues with diabetes. It probably has quite a bit to do with being on prozac for the bulimia, and prozac is well known for causing insomnia.

    I still have a chance to come out on top. Working through the emotions I've been surpressing and I think it may just help. It's going to be difficult, but I'm truly hoping this is the help that I need to boost me through this recovery.

    (Quick note: thanks for this thread. I'm finding it really motivating, and such a ... comfort? I'm not alone. I'm not the only one fighting this awful pattern. Binge eating is so dang lonely, you know?)
