    Once every two months I allow for ONE EVENING where I don't count any calories and eat/drink whatever I want. About a month ago I drank far too much alcohol and was worthless for two days afterward. So no more drinking at all. There's just no room in my life for it anymore.

    How many of you restrict yourself from specific foods on a regular basis, i.e. you adhere to clean eating, believe in bad foods, etc.?

    Not me but I think about doing that since IIFYM isn't working for me. Eating processed food trigger massive cravings which are otherwise tameable, when I don't give into them at all.

    I get over it and move on. As long as it happens once in awhile so be it.

    I feel trapped by my own mind, and my greed, and I want to curl up in my duvet and sleep it away and never go out again. I literally feel HUGE

    the worst is I usually binge right before going on a 8 hour shift which starts at 3pm and y head literaly feels foggy

    I dont smoke, rarely drink, dont get high , don't do drugs or smoke dope........

    My drug of choice is food and even for me, some one whos lost plenty, I can go ona 2 week binge and feel like crap for days after..........

    I guess were all human, you need to eat food to survive.....its not like going cold turkey on cigarettes, or going into rehab to get off of crack or cocaine, .........food is a fuel for our body and we need it.......

    I wished I could stop my bingeing, if anyone knows the answer, let us know

    I feel horrible ,esp that I can gain 10 lbs in 2 weeks.............I retain water because I avoid processed, salt ladened foods, but after my bingeing of pizza, ice cream and chocolate, Ive gained tons of weight and my blood pressure goes up to......

    its a Catch 22 situation........wished I could figure out why I binge eat too..............

    THIS. I also go to a binge eating support group because I have diagnosed it as an eating disorder of mine that has spiraled from a history of other disordered forms of eating. It helps to know you're not alone. But food is my drug of choice for sure.

    Well.. perhaps you should be more specific about what you define as a binge.

    I just binged for the first time since I started my workout and diet plan. I didnt really BINGE as much as I used to in the past...I mean, I ate a lot less than I could. But I ate at 3 am, and my binge cravings were killing me earlier. I should have just gone to sleep. I hate myself right now, like honestly, I'm mad at myself.

    Allow yourself to have treats every now and then, think of it as a reward for all your hard work! and if you think of it as a reward, it may encourage you to be more positive and then you'll only have one or two and not a binge! :)

    I just ate waaaaay too many M&M's.. and a bag of lollies ahh. I feel so full and bloated, but also suprisingly good because it has just reaffirmed about why I don't need chocolate etc. I don't like feeling this way! So hopefully next time when I crave sweet foods I have a bit more control :D
