What was your WORST binge ever?

Francl27

Wow I think most of you got me beat. I guess I've never really binged on a crazy amount of food (except the time I was starving and ate a whole box of pasta with half a jar of sauce), but I just had a lot of mini binges, every day (eating a whole box of cookies, eating 3 ice cream cones or finishing a whole piece of cheese - not the cheddar blocks though, even I couldn't do that lol).

I will start out with something innocent, like lunch. A sandwich or some steamed veggies with chicken or fish, then suddenly after I eat I turn into a wild animal. Nothing is safe.

^^^ this made me laugh out loud!

I remember once picking up a med pack of timbits for a friend as a thank you for babysitting my kids. I only MENT to eat one or two on the way.... and then I had eaten half of the box.

^^^ ive done this. Picked up lunch for my husband at McDs intending to eat just one or two fries but when I got home id eaten both our fries. Large fries mind you. Was so embarrassed I hid the evidence and pretended to be pissed that they forgot our fries:ohwell:

A box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Even scooped out the sugary powder at the bottom. Talk about a major sugar high then a huge sugar crash. Ugh.

Hmmmm about 3 years ago my "binges" could be considered a whole bag of goldfish by myself, and plateful of pasta afterward.*every sunday eating at my italian grandmothers house*

I got into baking as well, so once I tried to make my own icing using crisco(the recipe called for it) Looking back on it I remember tasting the crisco over and over again(I probably had at least 1/4 cup crisco)

Umm lets see, eating cookie dough, cookies, and frosting at cookie parties with my friends.
OH! I often went out to dinner with family:

At friendlies: I'd get a cup of chicken noodle, grilled cheese with fries, and at the end of the meal I'd get a friend Z, of either oreo or reeses flavor. (I also had those big colorful soda's in those pint sized glasses: Blue-raspberry because the cherry tasted like cough medicine)

At Pizza hut: I'd get a large rootbeer(SUGAR+REFILLS) and then eat 3-4 cheesy breadsticks with marinara sauce, I'd get a kids mini pizza, be to full to eat it, BUT by the time we left I'd have room so I ate it in the car on the way home.(OH THE SODIUM)

At Chinese Buffets: I'd often get the fried chicken wings, chicken nuggets, a SHEET ton of pork fried rice(of which I made sure to pick out the pork pieces in the pan so i had alot of them), then I'd have 2 of those fried sugar covered donuts + ice cream.

Now for 1 1/2 years I've developed anorexia(in recovery though) SO my binges now consist of:
A piece of devils food cake (may 2x2 inches with frosting on top and choc. chips inside it) I then went to zumba for an hour(I would have puked it up but vomiting scares the **** out of me)

3-5 Large carrots: I 've had a passion for them as of late. I could eat a whole bag of minis no probs

1/2 box of special k chips/ 1 whole container of gerber baby puffs(lol only 150 cals so not a binge really)


TOOO BEE HONEST!
i wish i didnt care anymore.. I'd kill for a vegan friend-z alternative(dairy messes with my digestion)

Is anybody else just cruising this thread looking for meal ideas for re-feed days? I feel like a freak.

AllAboutThatTreble

Seeing this thread has made me realize how long I've gone without a full out binge, and makes me quite proud of myself. I've had days of overeating, but not binges like I used to.

It would typically be:

Afternoon: A ton of chinese takeout. And not the "healthy" stuff. Orange chicken, ribs, lo mein, fried rice. Then I'd hit the japanese restaurant and buy a ton of sushi.

Evening/night
1 -2 boxes of large pan pizza with 2-3 toppings
1 box of breadsticks
Buffalo wings
2L of some type of soda
Ice cream, 1-2 pints

And I would reach a point where eating hurts, but I'd just keep going.

The worst part about it? These binges happened whenever I was "dieting". I'd go a week of low calories (1200-1400 calories, which with a BMR ~1700 is very low for me) and then Friday night/Saturday night when my roommates left for the weekend, I would just inhale all that food. And no, I didn't throw it up/use laxatives. It was digested and used by my body.

Just thinking about it makes me want to puke.

The one I regret the most was when I was single and living by myself. I made an entire pot of chili with 6 cans beans, 3 pounds ground beef, onion, canned tomatoes, spices, etc. Then I ate the whole pot. With cheese, crackers, and sour cream.

I worked from home for two days after that.

Bwahahaha. Ok, this one made me laugh. :laugh:

Me too! Holy moly that must have been rough! I mean.. I love chili too.. especially with white rice (am I the only one?)... 3 lbs of beef!!! 6 cans of beans!!!! I would have been out too

A box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Even scooped out the sugary powder at the bottom. Talk about a major sugar high then a huge sugar crash. Ugh.

OMG! I DO NOT purchase cereal because for some reason I always end up overeating with it ... especially Cinnamon Toast Crunch lol. Then afterward I feel all bloated from the milk and just too much cereal in general.

This is why I stick with a protein shake and or fruit/yogurt for breakfast and the same for snacks. NO CEREALS.

You can eat whatever you want any given day so long as you make up for it on others. This is why I track my calories/macros on a weekly basis. Stop worrying about binge days! Instead focus on eating well and exercising most days so you can occasionally indulge yourself without guilt!

I consumed 7041 calories on Saturday, but I would not call it a "binge". It felt like a normal day to me and I really enjoyed it! I remain very lean with a body fat percentage of about 10%.

7041 calories? Thats just a couple thousand under what I eat in a whole week! Then again I'm trying to LOSE weight and if you're at 10% then you're obviously at maintenance etc.

I ate two Whoppers, large fries, Jr whopper, large sweet tea and a apple pie sat in the Burger King parking lot and ate the whole thing....ahhjj

crlyxx

My latest one was at the beginning of the month. Not too sure if it was a binge, but I definitely ate my fair share of food :I

1) half a slab of ribs
2) cup of ice cream
3) Pastel easter rabbit (not hollow)

That in one day...uuugh. I guess it doesn't sound too bad, but it really bugged me haha. Oh well, I've lost like 4 pounds since then, so I'm good.

Back when I used to smoke, I celebrated a 3 day weekend and got baked out of my gourd. I then proceeded to order a Large Round Table Pizza and turn on a horror flick.

After 15-20 minutes, the damn thing was gone. All of it. I blamed the cat.

jamiek917

at the greek bridal shower of one of my best friends, i consumed a ton of fantastic food, and then continued to eat long after i was full. then i went to a friends house...by the time i got there, the food was digested and it physically hurt me to sit up. i then laid down and literally fell asleep in a food coma.

pathetic.

elsaekstedt

Oh.Some of your binges sound so small,compared to my worst Bulimia days.I am ashamed.

Breakfast: 10-15 bread slices 12 hard crispbreads(Both with TONS of butter and full fat cheese).4 Cups of nesquik like chocolate milk.(Soooooo much powder).1 liter milk with branflakes/cornflakes and tons of sugar!

Lunch:school lunch.

Afternoon:20 crispbreads,10 slices of bread(Butter and cheese),I bag of cinnomon roles.Gingerbread mix.200 gr Choclate bar.

Dinner:pasta (toons of butter and salt) with meatballs.

Night:Bag of popcorn,bag of chips,pepsi max,1 liter milk with branflakes(again with a lot of sugar) and Then about 1,5 lifers icecream

Late night:after purging/waiting feeling empty and having sore throth I would cry infront of the tv with 1 liter icecream.


These where bad days when my parents where somewhere else,about once a week.Rest of the days i would binge smaller(but still huge) amounts in my room alone.Im 77 days bingefree now!Ofcourse I gained weight at this time but I was never overweight.(Started binging after anorexia period In my life.)

A dozen of Raw vegan chocolate chip cookie dough with a 1/2 gallon of almond milk. Can you say sick!!!!!

chelseascounter

I can't remember all of them, but my LAST one was tuna with loads of mayo and salt then I was still hungry and ate 2 hot dogs with mayo and ketchup. YUM. Then I ate an entire bag of individually packed cookies.

I remember one back when I was 15 I drank an entire pack of sunny d, it wouldn't stay down and threw it up. Some came out of my nose :sick:

Just 2 weekends ago I was camping for Canada Day long weekend and the first night drank 12 beer and a 26er of rum and almost a 2 litre bottle of diet ginger ale(need mix)

I can't remember it exactly as it has been quite sometime since a true binge but my best friend and myself we're going to grab a snack at her place before heading to the gym, which turned into about 11 courses of very fatty, high sugar, high sodium food binge, and then we needed to nap, we couldn't move, it was awful, lol. Somethings that were on the menu that lovely day were two HUGE slices of very rich cakes (one lemon, one chocolate), Frozen fried chicken strips (this was before I stopped eating meat), a few handfuls of crisps (you know those nasty lays that are loaded with so much salt your lips burn and chap? Lol), I believe we both alsohad a drumstick ice cream, eggs, cereal, bagels, croissants, and I believe I am still missing a few things that I just can't remember. My second equally bad was also with my best friend and we each ate a pizza from dominos, each a cheesey bread, soda pop, and I believe there may have been some hot wings with blue cheese in there somewhere. Just thinking about it makes me feel a second chin coming on, ha.

Started Friday July 12 at 6pm. Bowl of Tuna pasta, 25 TimBits, 1 Medium all dressed pizza, 1 regular poutine, Small Oreo Ice cream, Starbucks Iced coffee. All within a 5 hour span. I fasted yesterday and am now back on my regular eating plan. I just read this http://www.jcdfitness.com/2009/03/how-i-eliminated-binge-eating-completely/ and currently looking into intermittent fasting.

Yesterday.. over 3500 calories worth of food for a 5"3 female. So disgusted..

xoxobollywood2

3 sandwiches with nutella, a bag of chips and a box of chocolate chip cookies. Think I was around 3000 calories by the end of the day....ughhh

nwatrous

I used to buy tortilla chips with a range of dips (cheese, guac, salsa, sour cream, etc.) and eat until I made myself sick. While drinking a 6-pack of beer. It was a regular Friday night thing when I was single. Ugh.

OMGSugarOHNOS

The only I binge on is alcohol. Beer, wine, hard liqour. All of it.

juicy_cat

A whole tin of biscuits...there was around 48 in it...and i'd already had Breakfast Lunch and Dinner...for those who are in the UK - they were Marks and Spencer Chocolate covered ones...

I don't think this is a very healthy topic at all. We shouldn't encourage bragging about self destructive behavior.

I have never really been a binge eater. This thread is so interesting to me because I just haven't ever done this really. My worst ever was probably a day in high school when I had an Arby's roast beef sub with lots of mayo, curly fries, and a large Dr. Pepper, and then at least 4 Bar None chocolate bars over the course of the evening.

Worst in the past decade would be eating 1/2 box of Chips Ahoy cookies and 2 big glasses of milk, I did that 2 days in a row and although I ate very little else on both days I still consider that a binge, ugh

Agreed! I do find it fascinating, but it's pretty bad.
