    Misery, mostly. Started off as your standard chew and spit, and then ... well, **** it. I always do well during the day and wake up in the middle of the night to binge, idgi. Well, I've been craving Crunchie bars, idk why, so might plan a binge on those tomorrow, or fast and only eat that? I'll see. You?

    That could be a good idea =) crunchies aren't bad for calories either. I'm kind of sick of seeing the same one person posting on the feed lol so I thought I could do with a few more to look at. <3

    I don't really 'binge' I just give into temptation and eat something I otherwise shouldn't have. Then feel guilty -purge..

    Ahhh!

    I'm in recovery at the moment. Don't know if I will ever be able to say I'm recovered but I'm definitely on a good path now

    So I've been on a binge/purge session for two days. Anyone have any advice how to stop eating and regain control? :/

    You're probably going to hate my answer but eat. Eating a normal amount of calories (1200 at least) will prevent the binges. If 1200 seems too high for you, aim at 1000.

    I think that I am a binge eater. I haven't been diagnosed but I know I have an unhealthy relationship with food. I seem to do so well all day......eating the right things, drinking my water but then at night it all goes to s**t. I wait for my husband to go to bed so that I can sneak my binge in. He caught me last night and it was so embarrasing. I also wake up in the middle of night and eat anything that isn't nailed down.....Afterwards and the next morning I feel really horrible about myself and ashamed of what I did. I just lost 30 lbs but have gained back 8 by my binges. I don't understand why I do this? Why do I eat things I don't want when I'm not even hungry to the point that my stomach hurts so much? I have a lot more weight to lose and need to get this under control in order to that and keep it off.

    The hiding the consumption of "forbidden" food is certainly disordered eating. Do you know how many calories you consume on a binge? A medically defined "objective binge" is 2000+ calories. You should look at the emotional cause of this - are you lonely? Unhappy? Tired? Or do you just want the "bad" food you can't have so badly you sneak it in in secret?

    Hmmm I really don't know why I do this. I'm not lonely or unhappy. It could maybe be stress. My job is so demanding! Sometimes the calories I consume during a binge are over 2000 but most of the time I think they are less than that. And now that I think of it more I think the calories I consume is directly affected by how stressed I am feeling.

    wow this one has been up since the 12th , and my friends exact same subject got pulled in an hour. i am so confused on what is allowed and not.

    now to subject.
    i have to admit to doing this. not very often now, as i am in better control of myself as far as binges.
    though i broke down about two weeks ago, pigged on something and got rid of it.

    I know its bad but i honestly dont see a problem if its only every few months or so.

    I am actually a little worried about my cruise coming up, there will be lots of desserts i am sure, and other yummies i know i am going to want to eat, and am allowing , the problem is going to come with resisting the urge to rid. (especially since being over 40 i tend to tinkle when i do, a little side problem with it)

    I have mostly anorexic tendencies, but have struggled to overcome binging for the past 2 years. Only in the last few months have I gotten it more under control, but there are still days each month when I'll consume 3,000 - 4,000 calories in a single night. And despite my efforts, I have never been able to successfully purge. This is likely a blessing in disguise, because I'm sure I would abuse the ability if I were able to accomplish it.

    Anyone else struggling with an ED or binges, feel free to add me. I'm always willing to offer support. I certainly know how horrible it is to feel so out of control in your own body.
