Ate 7383 calories today. Biggest binge in a while. I seriously feel so sick and hopeless. I don't know how I can recover all of the hard work I put in this week. I can barley even move with out feeling like I'm going to be sick. I don't think I could feel any worse than what I am feeling right now :'(

Also, knowing what my doctor will say to me when I go back in a few weeks. I've been fighting this eating disorder for so long and I haven't made it over 5 days without binging. I feel so miserable and upset. I have no idea what to do with this anymore...

Sorry for the rant, I just don't know who else to turn too. Can anyone please give me some advice. I've had binge eating disorder for almost a year now. I recovered from anorexia and with that mind set still I feel horrible because what I do to my body.

    Hi, If you have a close friend that you can confide in and also call when you think your about to binge that would help a great deal. It also helps if you give yourself a break, don't hate yourself for making a choice just try to correct it and move on. A friend or a family member that you trust is a good asset to have when your in trouble. Don't try and starve yourself after this, just eat sensibly and move on. GOOD LUCK

    P.S. I have been there many times

    Yea, so you had one bad day. Start fresh tomorrow, and dont stress about it. Your not gonna stop your binge habit over night. Your going to struggle with it. But don't let it take over. You will learn to control your eating habits over time. It's ok....:flowerforyou:

    Stay strong, and I offer my encouragement, but I hope you have some support system close to home. Online support can only do so much. Are you in a support group, if not find one.

    The worst thing you can do is wallow in. Strike this as a bad day and move on.

    FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE and BE POSITIVE.

    stay healthy.

    When I get down on myself or if I feel like I not doing as much as I would like. I pray and ask God to help me get through what I am going through. Don't be hard on yourself, tell yourself, I know I can and will do what is right for my body. Don't invite the enemy in your mind. You are loved by the most high, and that is the Lord above. Tell your self that you are beauiful and wonderfully made. You can do all things through Christ who gives you the strenght. Trust him

    I'm sorry that you're going through this. I am recovering from a binge eating disorder that I've had for over 4 years. The best advice I can give you is to figure out what it is that causes you to binge, and take that energy and turn it into control. I know it sounds weird but it's what worked for me. I finally accepted responsibility for my body and every time I wanted to binge, I reminded myself that only I can control myself. I have full responsibility. I also allow myself to eat what I want as long as it fits into my calorie goal. I have "spike"/cheat days once a week where I eat what I want and it actually aids in my weight loss.
    Forgive yourself and know that you can start over tomorrow x

    Don't beat yourself up. Today is over and was a mistake. Start tomorrow fresh and don't look back on your bad days and feel badly, just try to do better. You can't change the past, so look ahead to a better future.

    The first thing is to forgive yourself and start new tomorrow. Do you have a counselor that you have seen for eating disorder issues or could they refer you to one? Or maybe a support group of some sort (either online or in person)? If not, maybe seekng help and accountability from a truster friend or relative is a good step. Perhaps having someone to talk about your feeling with can help you to figure out what is triggering your binges and how to prevent them.

    I agree that you should forgive yourself. Feeling that much shame will never help, and we're not meant to be sad. However, after reading and rereading your post a few times, I really hope that you see your doctor sooner - or at the very least are completely upfront with him or her on every bit of this. To not be able to go more than 5 days between binges may mean that you and your doctor might consider restructuring your treatment to something stronger or more immediate. Please consider. Best of luck to you.

    I am not sure how bad my binge eating got but when I was stressed or upset with my ex I would eat. Tons of stuff whatever I could find. I got rid of my stress (my ex) and it took some time but my binges ended up getting much better. I think also I would starve myself instead of losing weight the healthy way and that would also lead to binging. I have learned to listen to myself. For me learning myself was extremely hard because I was in denial. You can probably read online over and over about how to stop binge eating and it will tell you the same thing. Find out why you are binging. What brings it on. That will mean nothing to you until you learn for yourself what it mean (if that makes sense at all). When I decided to eat healthy I also decided not to tell myself no. If I wanted to binge and eat 5 cups of rice, I would do it and the rest of the day eat normal and healthy. After a while I slowly started to not want to binge as much. Now I rarely ever binge unless my ambien has hit me a certain way and I get up and make a bunch of food but other than that I never binge anymore. If I want to go out and eat wings or pasta I wont tell myself no because if I do I know I will want it more. However, if I let myself just eat it than I will want it less. Now if you put a salmon topped salad in front of me or a bowl of pasta I am going to make the better decision. The best advice I can give you is to spend time learning yourself.

    I realized I ate to make myself feel better from being sad or upset. Now I do it in other ways. Homework, working out, cleaning or calling a friend. Some times I will have a really hard day and I will eat bad food, smoke and drink. I wont beat myself up over it but I will tell myself its just a one time thing for today and later I will make a better decision and not let myself fall back into that pit.

    Forget today even happened. Wipe it, tomorrow is a new day. Just remember that you have a goal, you are the only one who can get that goal .... this is something only you can work on.... but with the right support.... like those in here..... it is easier to achieve.

    Next time you feel the binge come on..... come in here.... talk to ANYONE that is here.... add heaps of people to your friends list & ask them to possibly keep your mind busy till you forget what you went on there for.

    I'm proud of you for keeping track of it. I wouldn't.
    Start over tomorrow. That's why God made tomorrows.

    You have to take whatever life throws at you one day at a time. Tomorrow is a new chance - don't give up.

    There are resources for eating disorders, please see if you can find some in your area.

    Good luck!

    Do you have somebody close to you to kick your *kitten* every time you screw up? I found this to be, other than self control the only solution that may work (medication and doctors/"specialists" excepted here).
