    I am sad to say, I am an emotional binge eater from way back...I have also been a Registered Dietitian and fitness/health/diabetes educator for over 17 years. I practise what I preach. I understand what my patients/clients are going through from more than one perspective. This makes me both good at what I do and very passionate about helping people.

    I won't get into details about my childhood (therapy alert!) but food became my escape...As I got older and had more control over my life, food became a bandaid for my broken hearts.

    I associate food with everything good and bad in my life. I want to eat if I'm happy and if I'm sad. I can't recall one "worst" binge of all time, but I can say I have easily topped 10-15,000 cals in a 24-hr period on many occassions. I have "binged" equally on junk food and healthy food.

    I think realizing this is always going to be an issue for me (sort of like a drug or alcohol addict) has helped me overcome it. I know I will probably have relapses and binge from time to time for the rest of my life. But...I also know that I alone am in control of my own actions and I alone am the master of my destiny.

    I care about my health and I know how it feels to be fit and energetic and I know how it feels to be overweight and sluggish. I choose fitness and health and happiness!

    I was about to binge minutes before I logged into MFP. My calories for the day are already over the permissible limit! And, I wanted more MORE!

    Then I saw this post- and I dont want to do it. Not at all!
    Thanks to all of you!

    My worst binges are always right before my monthly visitor; I always crave sweet and salty. So it would be noting to eat a candy bar, a grab bag of chips, and a soda in probably 30 minutes or so! I could then go home and have Butterfinger Blizzard for dessert. I have been working on ways to handle my monthly craving...some months are good and some months are terrible!

    one day I ate a giant burrito from taco bell, a burger-and-fries meal from mcdonalds, most of a pizza, and most of a box of brownies. i think there may have been ice cream involved. that was my worst binge ever.

    My worst binge was at the buffet at the casino. I literally ate myself sick and ending up vomiting and the feeling like crap for two days. It was awful.

    Eating almost an entire small pie of pizza. They didn't have any baby pies (4 slices) so I bought the small one (6 I think) and ate 4 or 5 slices before calling it quits.

    Good God, today.
    I've been doing so good, but I spent the day with my parents.
    Went out for lunch to a bar with them, had some sweet potato fries and 2 slices of chicken and cheese quesadilla with Mountain Dew.
    2 kit-kats.
    And just had a can of Mountain dew.

    And I didn't work out at all today.

    I feel like I need a lashing lol

    I fell off the rocker and I fell off HARD

    My normal binges used to be a 2 item thing from Panda express - Orange Chicken and the fried beef thing with fried rice and chow mein, 2-4 king size candy bars, a large bag of Smartfood popcorn, 2 liters of diet coke and a jar of nutella. Usually eaten in less than an hour.

    I have eaten many times a whole large pepperoni and pineapple pizza with a pint of ben and jerrys, a large salad and breadsticks with everything but the ice cream dipped in ranch or blue cheese dressing of course, diet coke.

    I can eat a lot, I never feel full until I feel like I might explode. My brain just doesn't register. Now, I eat a normal portion and when it's gone, it's gone.

    I also eat my biggest meal at lunch and if I eat dinner its only one serving of cheerios. This has, I feel, saved my life.

    My weakness is a great bottle of wine. But I have also been known to scarf peanut butter cups (such a weakness for them).

    Binges are related to either weekend stuff (alcohol) or cycle (chips & dip, popcorn, fish & chips, poutine, chocolate - it all goes to hell; one BAD lady time, consumed almost 4000 cals).

    I am in my first year of university and am extremely overwhelmed! This binge happened in the university cafeteria last week...

    Started off with a nice, healthy salad, followed by a bowl of ice cream (1 scoop strawberry, two scoops vanilla), then I had three slices of greasy cheese pizza drenched in ranch sauce, then I had five chicken wings, then I had three pieces of strawberry shortcake, then I had another full bowl of ice cream (same flavours), then I had a bowl of fries with ketchup and mayo, and on my way out of the cafeteria I got an ice cream cone...

    What is scarier is thinking about what i ate before i dieted, would certainly be considered binging to me now but then...just a day in the life.

    This was my exact thought!

    12 large cream filled donuts in one sitting. I then worked all night and still ate a bunch of other food. A total reminder to myself that I have come a long way.

    I was on steroids once because I had tendon problems with my wrist, and while I was on them I had an entire medium pizza from dominos (but it's a huuuge medium) and was still hungry. I had to tell my fiance he should handcuff me to the bed in case I sleep-ate lol

    probably an entire medium pizza and a pint of ice cream...
    Oh yes! The pint of ice cream is what gets me.

    OMG. I can't believe I'm telling you all this, but I ate 6 large cupcakes in one sitting. It was enough fat and calories for three days.

    A Dozen Donuts-no lie
    everyone of them was a fancy- either stuffed or iced.

    I was overwhelmed & working retail in my 20's & never knew when I was going to get a break. I kept the box in the back room & ate 'em in a 2 hour period.
    Dragged the whole day & night & never ate anything else that day
    NEVER did that again
