Hi,
You say you are a Christian. Give this whole weight loss process to Jesus. Give him the praises for your successes and allow him to help you when it gets difficult. He will help you along the way.0 -
I usually do that at lunch.So I just binged, and I usually don't log binges... but I logged this one, and I ate over 1,000 calories.
1,000 calories.
In one sitting.
I'm just so shocked by this.
1.000.
Holy crap guys, I'm freaking disgusting.

Well, I do think we need to be careful about using such emotional, trigger loaded, ED based language. Binge, the word means a complete lack of control. As someone who used to drug binge and who still occasionally booze binges (I know, I know...I'm growing out of it slowly) I wouldn't say 1000 calories, which is a typical meal for someone not dieting, counts as a binge.0
-
This is why binges should be logged. Just because you don't log them doesn't mean it didn't happen....0
-
Yes, i just did the same thing tonight. It was only a burger and fries. Too much food, but unbelievably calorie-dense. I will have an extra work out tomorrow and drink at least 12 glasses of water! Not much else to be done, except to stay on the wagon.0
-
do not feel that way!! 1000 calories is totally a workable number - as far as burning it back off and overcoming this. Go for a walk (or whatever you like to do to exercise) and start drinking some water.
I have a problem with binging too. My binges are WAY over 1000 calories, and I feel like a horrible person afterwards. I know how crippling it feels though to think that you gave in and let yourself do this after working hard. Its the fact that you felt you lost control of your eating, but it will be okay.
Stay here with us at MFP and dont give up. I'm glad you logged it so you know the damage you've done. Your MFP friends are all here to help you with this!!0 -
Yeah, 1000 cals is not so bad. Like everyone says, you owned it, you logged it, you recognized...Now just correct it. Do well today, or the rest of your day, whatever the case. I'm a binger, and I had one last week, but more importantly, I logged it to see what I did, and because all I could think about was my MFP friends while I had my mini binge, it was just that, a mini binge. I didnt go all out like I might have before. And the next day, I drank water, exercised and adjusted my calories to correct the situation. (And yet, got the binge out of my system.) You can do this, we cant beat up on ourselves to much, we need to recognize, correct as best we can, and move on. WE GOT THIS! Friends, feel free to add me, I love supportive friends and being there for them as well. You guys all rock.0

It wasnt so much the calories but the hit on my sodium level I couldnt risk!! I'm still having a burger for dinner but baking the patty in the oven so I can control what goes in my mouth. Thanks for sharing everyone and keep up the good work, forget the bad!!
And that's what we're all here to learn to do! Fulfill our desires in a healthy and conscientious way!0 -
It happens and its ok every once-in-a-while. When I do that or have a bad weigh-in, I remind myself that I am interested in my overall weight and health in 3 months - not this week. Slow and steady - have faith in the MFP math and you can acheive your goals.0
-
I dont consider that a binge honestly. Thats a typical restaraunt meal.
^^THIS. It's lower than some restaurant meals. A meal at chili's can be over 2000.0 -
1000?.... it's all good... you can pull that at a starbucks these days or a "healthy smoothy place"
don't sweat it.. all you did was peel back the curtain and look at what the "food gremlins" look like..it's good to shake it up once in a while, that's all you did, keep the body guessing a bit..
enjoy it.. log it ... and get back to working out and living life..
and NO.. you're not disgusting...
you're Human... flaws, perfection, good, bad, indifferent... just Human... and no self-hazing allowed

It's no problem at all but DO NOT DO IT AGAIN IN THE NEAR FUTURE -- MAKE YOUR GOAL TO BE "PERFECT" FOR ONE WEEK.
That's it !0 -
Can we define "binge"? This is frankly insulting. Eating a hamburger is completely unrelated to binging.I did that last weekend when my sister came to visit - burger, fries, onion rings! I felt bad and I STILL logged it in as a reminder how fast it all adds up....shake it off and you will be fine
On behalf of proud bingers, you are insulted by the idea of a single hamburger constituting binging?
I'm sort of insulted by this too, I know a thing or two about binging and I call a burger and fries friday night dinner with my boys. binging usually entails getting out the quackes, peanut butter, chocolate chips, wine, rice works, other quakes, salsa, and then realizing that I still haven't satisfied my craving.
My burger and fry comment was that one of my reward meals would be a triple whopper and frys that would swallow up her so called binge. My binge would be lay around the house and snack from sun up to midnight which would be who knows 5 to 8k calories or more. Lighten up people about being insulted, why would anyone be insulted about a post? "Oh because I had an eating disorder and weighed a 1000 lbs." Quit being so sensitive about crap.0 -

Definition
By Mayo Clinic staff
Binge-eating disorder is a serious eating disorder in which you frequently consume unusually large amounts of food. Almost everyone overeats on occasion, such as having seconds or thirds of a holiday meal. But for some people, overeating crosses the line to binge-eating disorder and it becomes a regular occurrence, shrouded in secrecy.
When you have binge-eating disorder, you may be deeply embarrassed about gorging and vow to stop. But you feel such a compulsion that you can't resist the urges and continue binge eating.
Although binge-eating disorder is the most common of all eating disorders, it's still not considered a distinct psychiatric condition. But if you have binge-eating disorder symptoms, treatment can help you.0 -
happens...........just dont do it all the time, and 1000 isn't that much of a binge...........a red robin burger and fries is like 1500........
i was thinking this.
then again, her caloric intake is far reduced from that of my own0 -

I don't see reference to your burger and fry comment in any of the previously quoted text, but thanks for your .02, so totally appreciated.0 -
Hello...:-D Hope everyone's having a good day today.
i personally think that the number of calories (up to say, double of what they would normally eat in a day) doesn't constitute a binge. It's the feelings that compell you to look for something, anything and eat it without tasting really, how it makes you feel afterwards and whether it can tip you over the edge from control to despondency and giving up.
1,000 calories, whatever you have to lose, is recoverable. The feelings you have for yourself are going to take a little more work unless the comment about you 'being disgusted' was just posted for emphasis and you don't really feel that way about yourself.
You're hopefully going to in your body for a good long time; there's no benefit to hating it but everything to gain from repairing it (if it needs it), and cherishing it. If it wants a bit more to eat one day then don't be so hasty to condemn it. Listen to what your body is telling you and it won't steer you wrong.
Many of us have a long journey, others not so long, but we're here for the same reason, NOBODY is alone here.0 -
I'm a terrible "binge eater" too. Just remember that one binge doesn't wreck your whole nutrition/exercise plan. My problem is, I'll binge once and then feel like I've abandoned my whole program, which for me, leads to Haagen Dazs, cookies and pie.0

I know it doesn't, but my comment is no different and you are welcome with a smile.0 -
Don't beat yourself up. It's soooooo EASY to do this! I do it myself from time to time. Tomorrow is a new day, you'll be fine.
But seriously, I think this is soooo easy to do these days. I was living off of 1000s a day before i started here and had NO CLUE! Now, even though I'm more aware...I still struggle sometimes.0 -
I think that is what people are missing. Binging is more than just eating food, it is the feelings that are associated with the binge. Most people on a true binge are just inhaling food and not really aware of what they are eating and how it tastes.0

it's the same as someone having a night out of heavy drinking vs. an alcoholic who drinks an entire bottle of vodka and cries the whole time
very different experiences and consequences, psychologically at least0 -
your not disgusting. we all have our weak moments. just go burn off 1000 at the gym and you will feel good about yourself.0

So has all the psychologist on here given her the test to determine if she is a true binge eater or is she just one of us people that confuse binge with slipping every now and then. Lets see I turned on a light switch today and that makes me an electrical engineer, hmmm make sense. I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. C'mon laugh, quit being so serious.0

1) You are not disgusting
2) It happens to the best of us even the ones that are so strict with their dieting.
3) Your next meal or snack you can make the change, or you can wait until tomorrow. The best advice I have been given is don't wait until tomorrow or next week, if its not the end of the day you have the rest of the day to make the difference. That doesn't mean burning off the 1000 calories or not eating, but making the change right away.
4) You are awesome, you logged it, and admitted it to all of us.
This journey is the most challenging, it challenges your will power, your ambition, your drive...It challenges your whole self. You are doing great no matter if you think so or not. 0 -

I don't know if there are any psychologists on here, I'm not one, definitely - but I do know about binge eating and other disordered eating. For some people, it's difficult to find amusement in that because firstly it hurts and secondly, it can cause someone to throw in the towel when they needn't. I know that i've felt like that myself but only the poster herself knows how she feels, whether it was a slip or a binge. Whatever it was, if she needs support then I'm going to give it and not make light of her post.0 -

Very true, we don't know. Most of us on here have no clue what this type of eating disorder is. Therefore its not fair to label her with that. She may be like the rest of us and consider a slip up a binge. I'm not making light of it and I'm not a doc., just because if I had cancer doesn't make me a doc. who can diagnose someone else either. Until you have all the facts we don't know, she hasn't said she is seeing a doctor and I wouldn't scare her into it. Its like I had it and this must be what she has too, now we're sisters. Just my honest opinion and again not make light of it but not labeling her with a disorder either. No sarcasm or humor in my comment this time.0 -

I know exactly what you mean. It is dangerous to diagnose others because we can't know what they know.
I'm envious of people who can see the lighter side of losing weight... for me it's been such a battle and this 30 days that I've been logged in for is the longest I've ever been on a properly controlled calorie count. I fret all the time that I'm going to fall and I think that colours my view somewhat. Also, I'm British and there's more than a hint of stiff upper lip there. ; )
Awesome that you got past your cancer.. that's a heck of a battle, well fought. 0 -

Congrats for fighting as hard as you do, I wish you all the luck in your battle. I didn't mean I had cancer, I meant as an example, sorry about that. With so many diseases,syndromes and disorders in the world laughter sometimes is better than crying, in most cases its the same type of outlet. Instead of dooming somebody I would rather make them laugh or uplift them.0
