    Ahhh day two is a success!

    I have to think its just because I don't actually have food to binge on (I mean, who binges on salad, apples or eggs?) but it feels like a victory nonetheless!!

    Putting a second tick mark (for day two) on the infamous empty box of lemon cookies from the last binge! :laugh:

    So day two was fine, but I'm already 50 calories over today and seriously considering going a little crazy. :(

    Any advice?

    So day two was a success! Day 3 is a little tougher because I'm going drinking for a friends birthday, but I'm about to go to the gym to even it all out.

    Good luck to everyone else! :)

    Hi all,

    Can I join in too please???

    I have a real struggle with binge eating but since coming clean about it almost 2 weeks ago and realising I had a problem, I have been able to control the urge to binge. Funny, I couldn't do this before...

    Everyday is a real struggle for me and I suffer with depression too, so as you can imagine, I nearly always want to binge!

    I'd love to tag along unless I'm too late?

    Hello, I also suffer from binge eating disorder but was lucky enough to have some really great group therapy last year which has made it more manageable. I managed to roughly maintain my weight for a whole six months so the next step is weight loss.

    Looking forward to supporting each other!

    It's so nice to hear that other people have the same problem, I always felt so alone being a binger and so ashamed! I haven't talked to anyone about it and I probably should, but I'm not quite ready to. I never talk to my husband about dieting or eating anymore because he just looks at me and thinks, oh yeah, she's on another diet, let's see how long this one lasts. Ugh! I feel so pathetic, why can't I stick to a diet.

    Someone else mentioned this, but it is almost like you feel powerless when you start bingeing, it's like you are telling yourself I shouldn't be eating this, I should eat something healthy, but no matter what you tell yourself you still end up reaching for the cookies or going through the drive thu.

    I almost never have junk food in my house because if it's here, I will eat it until it's gone. And when I go to the grocery store, if I have it in my head that I want to binge, I'll buy a couple of snacks for at the house and also buy myself a snack (my favorite are these creme horns sold at the bakery at the grocery store) and then I'll eat them all on the way home and get rid of the evidence. Then I can eat the other snacks when I get home without anyone knowing I already devoured other stuff earlier. AWFUL!

    So, I'd love to join this challenge, I know I'm late, but I could really use support!!

    So day 1 - no binge

    Well....

    Friday went well, Saturday I almost lost it because I was drinking wine so I did go over my calories but no binge..... and then there's today. Not really sure what happened here. It started with a couple of king size candy bars (still within my calories after that) and then dinner just didn't satisfy. After a banana and an apple, I gave up and just started mindlessly eating whatever. Of course, now I'm full, bloated and feel like crap!! Figures I'd get to day 4 and lose it. Should've just went to the gym after dinner like I had planned!

    Ugh, back to day 1 again :sad:

    Just finishing up my 5th day of not binging, although I will confess I am dying to go pour a HUGE bowl of cereal and drown it with milk....the go back for me. I am going to go get a cup of hot tea (no sugar or cream, just tea) and hopefully that will help calm the craving.

    Back to day one for me :(

    I wouldn't call that a binge. A true binge is eating completly out of control, not just something unplanned. For example when I was peak daily binging I would start w/ a popsicle, then another, then grab 5 at once cuz all the different flavors are lovely. Then I want spaghetti and garlic bread so I fire up the stove. But that takes to long, so I make a sandwich, and a salad sounds yummy. Then some soup, crackers, stir the noodles. More popsicles. Fruit snacks. Cookies. Cheese. Heat my sauce and make the toast. Some cereal. Honey roasted peanuts. Those were salty, I'm thirsty, more popsicles! Noodles are done. Spaghetti eaten, garlic bread devoured, still hungry.

    Just describing that makes me sick and yet I know that that was exactly how I ate pretty much everyday, for years! It is a rough road but it can be done. Stick with it everyone and someday you can all have your last "Day 1"

    Maybe it isn't "real" binging that I'm doing, but what I'm trying to change is my habit of (for example) picking up a large bag of chips and a box of cookies and then eating the whole thing as fast as I can before anyone sees that they were even there. Maybe it would be more appropriate to say, I don't want to be a secret junk devourer any more.

    New day one was good :)
