Worst binge ever?

The other night, I got back to my dorm and wasn't even hungry.
I proceeded to eat a yogurt, pretzels, two granola bars, almost an entire bag of pop-chips, almost an entire bag of these baked fry chips, some pistachios... I think there was more, but I didn't log it all. It sucked, but you know what? It happens and you have to move on. Don't punish yourself by fasting, don't dwell on the guilt, just plan for next time and move on.
Next time I have that urge, I'm going to go for a walk, call my mom, wash the dishes, take a shower, etc. I know for myself that distractions work best.
So,
What was your worst binge ever? How did you react? What is your plan for next time?

It was during my first semester of college...I was completely alone in my dorm and was at a really bad time during my life. One night I had an entire medium Dominos pizza and cinnamon sticks, plus a snack bag of Doritos, and a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream. I felt SO sick after. All of this was consumed within a couple hours. I don't know how I did it...I went to bed hating myself, and woke up not wanting to eat anything, and ready to hit the gym. Now, if I feel I want to, I try to preoccupy myself, take a bath, brush my teeth, get out, and other stuff like that.0

It's so great that you got past it though... it's easy to dwell on it which is what I usually do. I just hate the lack of control that comes with it more than anything else. The entire time I'm telling myself to stop, but I get in sort of a panic and the more I tell myself to stop the faster I eat.
I agree that distracting yourself is the best option!0 -
Definitely wasn't my worst ever- but I had a bad last night
It all started in that I had enough calories left to have a beer. That one beer became 1 beer then some whiskey and ice. With the booze comes time to eat and I made about 3 cups of macaroni and cheese. I had done so well for over two weeks. Alcohol is definitely a trigger for me. I logged the calories, and was over by over 1,000 calories. Trying not to beat myself up over it.
Today is a new day!0 -
Pasta was probably my worst binge....I had ice cream binges, junk food, chocolate binges, etc.. oh and peanut butter binges...
and the peanut butter binge wasnt long ago... :noway:0 -
I ate an entire large deep pan pizza and a big bowl of nacho's. I checked the cals later and it was 3000 calories for just that meal!!
I survived, my weight went over by 5lbs for a few days but then went back down. I don't feel guilty, life is for enjoying, an occasional pig out is ok.0 -
I once ordered a pizza from Dominoes and ate the whole thing in about 10 minutes. That's when I 'discovered' bulimia. Not a pretty sight for about the next year. Thank goodness I kicked that awful habit.0

I love the attitude. Alcohol is definitely an appetite stimulant, so with the way it reduces your judgment it's a recipe for disaster. Great for you for moving on!0 -

Oh man, peanut butter... I have to keep it hidden these days.0 -
I can't recall my worst binge ever, but I know I've had some horrible ones. One time involved a hunk of cornbread, butter and 8 slices of Black Forest Bacon. YEESH. On V-day, I ate a cupcake, 2 ginger snaps, a large chocolate chip cookie, a cup of homemade hot chocolate and crackers with goat cheese. I wanted to RUN to the gym but it being V-day, I had to go home and make a romantic lobster/shrimp dinner for my beau. I felt sick, but I accepted the damage and moved it. The next day I went back to eating clean, and working hard and still lost weight that week.0

I'm so impressed that you didn't let the binge get in the way of your life. I'm noticing that most people's binges are carbs and sugars rather than proteins... they're too addicting =/0 -
My worst was at McDonalds and included a 20pc McNuggets, 4 cheeseburgers, a super-size fries, Root Beer and a McFlurry........that was a long time ago but it still makes me sick even thinking about it. My brother still gives me a hard time about that one, lol0

I ate a 54 oz steak with all the fries and the fried onions on top. That was actually the meal that was the turning point for me!!0

Recently due to bipolar med changes and having to take mania meds my weight shot up 40 pounds in less than two months. I was craving sweets so much I was eating decorative sugar. The colored stuff you put on cookies and cakes. I have to take the meds though I hate the side effects. Need help to regulate my eating habits so I don't gain so much weight when I have to take mania meds.0

My worst night was last month. I had gone to a birthday party and done so well, and even drank the correct amount of wine I put into my diary... but about 20 minutes before I left I, for some reason, lost control and ate 3 cupcakes. 950 calories worth. Yikes. Well, I felt bad but the next day I worked out and now I feel like that is out of my system for good, LOL. Went to a party last Saturday and manged to eat only 10 M&Ms even though there was pie, cake, chips, etc, EVERYWHERE.0

That's so impressive that you only ate 10 m&ms. I'm a strong believe that moderation rather than deprivation is key. Great for you!0 -
16oz of Salty peanuts..and a whole can of sour cream and onion pringles..thats my usual. I'm still not over this addiction..0

I've had lots of binges. They usually revolve around chocolate. I usually can't stop at just one piece of cake, brownies, m&ms, etc. But I eat pretty well during the week and I exercise often so when it happens(and I do feel guilty and horrible) I just resolve to do better the next day and I do.0

I don't even keep pringles around anymore. I haven't bought them in years... I don't trust myself around them.0 -

Sweets are hard to resist... it's even harder to stop once you've started =/
I love chocolate, but don't eat it often for that reason.0 -

So,
What was your worst binge ever? How did you react? What is your plan for next time?
your worst binge was nothing hun...mine...let's see..each of these were their own binge
1. an entire box of fiber one cereal, milk, cocoa, and several servings of these dried pea things.
2. 1.5 quarts of actual ice cream---so something like 12 servings I think.
3. 8 bagel thins with cream cheese, 6 oz dry roasted edamame, and several bowls of cereal
4. 10 string cheeses, 1/2 box cereal, brownies, rice cakes, and 5 fiber one bars
Hmmm...sometimes I move on.
Sometimes I try to offset the calories a bit/compensate by working out harder--NEVER STARVING though. That's not for me.
Usually I move on and have a normal day but I'm rarely hungry after so my calories are NATURALLY a bit lower than they would be had I not binged.
I know that I will ALWAYS work it off somehow--usually over several days though--cutting 200-300 calories until I'm back at a net maintain. I don't do anything crazy drastic.0 -

That's a binge? That sounds like my post-workout meal.0 -
lol how do you choose just 1..... lol I had a standing take out order on friday nights at our local pizza place.. I would order a 21 inch with pep, a 14 inch with pep, green olives, and banana peppers, would grab a box of little debbies swiss cakes and a gallon of chocolate milk... My wife would have 3-4 pieces of the 14 inch pizza and over the course of the next 3-4 hours i would finish the rest of 14 inch, all the 21 inch, the gallon of chocolate milk and 4-5 of the 8 packages of swiss cakes leaving a couple for breakfast and 1 for my wife... That was a typical friday night........ Now we go in to that same pizza place on a friday night to sit down and eat and I skip the milk and swiss cakes and get a respectable 12 in. pizza and a pop and am pretty much stuffed at the end of that meal.... I once ate 4 Big Mac, 2 large fries, a extra large shake and a apple pie at 1 setting...... Good Lord it was no wonder I weighed 560 lbs.......0

It has been a long time since I had one. Up until last Saturday that is.
Fried Catfish, hush puppies, and onion rings.
It had to have been 2500+ calories in about 20 minutes.
The sad part is that it used to be my normal order at that place.
I have had binges much worse than that, but they were a couple of years ago.0 -
boy i hate to say this...i am a big binger, it was nothing for me to go to McDonalds and get 10 double cheese burgers, 5 fries and i always got two drinks so they would think it was for 2 people....oh in the mornings I would go to McDonalds and get 3 sausage biscuits, then go across the street and get 2 sausage egg and cheese biscuits at Krystal, then drive to Burger King and get whatever i could still put down, it was like i never got full....
I can or i say could eat 2 or 3 tripple whoppers...with fries and or onion rings....and dont even talk about BBQ buffets,,,they always lost money on me....Chinese buffet, I would put myself up against anyone then....
i loved going to the breakfast buffet and eat plates sausage and bacon and eggs covered in saw mill gravy....
I won a cheese burger contest at my work ( Police Department) and won $100 ...i ate 17 regular cheese burgers from McDonalds...people were amazed..
I am not proud of all that... I have type 2 diabetes now and weigh so much I dont even post my weight... recently I went on a great low carb plan and in 2 weeks I have lost 17 pounds and blood sugar has gone from 309 down to 143....very respectable...
If any of you guys are friends with Ed Davenport , you have a great friend...his story has inspired me and got me on the right path....my friend oberon0124 is also a great inspiration..
never again and I am just glad I am on the right track for life now.....0 -
Just this past Sunday, i went to an-all-you-can eat-buffet with my mother and my son. Their choice. I silently vowed to eat chicken and steamed veggies. Before i knew what happened, i had eaten two overflowing plates containing: pizza, garlic rolls, teriyaki chicken, mini egg rolls, fried rice, mac-n-cheese, broccoli, brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes, a chocolate chip cookie, bourbon chicken, popcorn shrimp, seafood salad, chocolate mousse pie, coconut shrimp, and a piece of meatloaf.
i probably forgot a few things. i felt like i couldnt walk afterwards.............and felt like a big JERK. i attempted to log it in my diary.............. exercised twice later that day/night....0 -
My first ever binge I baked cupcakes and ate about 6 of them.
After that every time I baked cookies I would eat the either batch!
I realized I was feeling deprived so I am trying to have small treats everyday so I dont make it a habit. It would be nice to be able to bake again.0 -

It's crazy how our eating habits change and things that used to be commonplace, well, we realize how much harm we were doing to ourselves.0 -
