November Challenge - Me vs. The Binge
Replies

Happy Sunday peeps!!!
...Well the best time to check in is when you are having binges.
Keep up the good work and have a good week!!:flowerforyou:...
It's true that when I wasn't doing so well a few weeks ago, I avoided checking in every day. (I did keep up with my binges and _eventually_ posted the tally, but not every day.) Last month I could feel my avoidance (non)coping behavior really kicking in, in numerous ways. Not checking in was just one way.
I'll do my best to avoid avoidance this month.
Thanks for the encouragement, Mollie.0 -

I'm going over my calories a bit, mostly due to high-cal restaurant food or prepared grocery deli food. Some is due to overeating, too. However, so far, no binge mindset--I have been spacing my eating experiences, focusing on eating when I'm hungry, and weighing and measuring my portions, especially for snack-y foods.
I have also been able to establish a better sleep/wake cycle, and I think this is helping me, too. I'm praying that I will be able to continue this routine!
Happy Monday, all. Here's to a healthy week. :flowerforyou:0 -
I didn't check in yesterday but it was a good day. Good weekend.

We had a funeral this weekend and have been eating junk as we're coping with our nerves and grief. This week I am trying to get back into our daily routine.0 -

I've been doing so good with not bingeing or purging. I haven't done it since Sept and I only think about it every few weeks, not every day like I was.
I contribute it to going back on a new anti-depression med, eating good healthy things a few times a day, and keeping myself occupied at night when my normal binge time was (crocheting, reading, art journaling), and actually losing weight and fitting into clothes I couldn't before.
I'm just afraid that things are too good and that I will binge again and it'll be worse.0 -

most of my binges are small, but they are done almost without me even paying attention.
realized most of my binges happen while i am preparing my meals....eating extra while I wait for the microwave or toaster oven. today, eating ham for my half ham and cheese sandwich while i waited for my bread to toast.
BUT, I did kick *kitten* at dinner with heating up the chili! Normally I would eat cold chili while my other chili heats up in the microwave. Tonight....didn't even lick the spoon
first day.....this may work...0 -

No binge for me! This is the first time I'm really admitting my behaviors. I am working on how I feel emotionally because I want to be a success on this thread. Slow..but steady. Very low calories today..tomorrow I'm going to up my calories and make sure I get what I need. Right now, I just want to focus on not bingeing and not getting hungry.
My mantra that's been helping me "Food is never an emergency"...I never need to stuff myself with as much food as possible, ever.0 -

Hum. Not sure to count as a binge. I am not going to so for today me: 1 binge: 0
However, in confession I did eat a larger meal than I really needed at dinner. I'm sick. I'm about ready to say I have the flu. At any rate, I dont' feel well at all and so of course, thought of food. I was ordering a hamburger and was not not not going to get the cookie, but coudn't seem to walk out the door with out. ALl I could was think of that cookie. Oh food how you control me some days. There was a time I controlled food. I believe food is getting its revenge.
I'm not counting it because I don't feel disgusting, which is often how I feel after a binge. I eat when not not hungry and just keep shoving it down. TOday I was really hungry! Just didn't need as much as I ate. So that is my story for today and I'm sticking to it. 0 -

Yes overeating is not a bingeHum. Not sure to count as a binge. I am not going to so for today me: 1 binge: 0

If not there are some really good books out on this matter. We all define binges differently. For me a binge is mindless uncontrolled eating cycle which usually last for 30 min to 2+ hours in duration. 0 -

Yesterday I went WAY over calories and ate a bunch of cookies...But, it wasn't out of control and mindless. At the time, I totally knew what I was doing (as opposed to being in what I call "zombie mode", where I don't even think, I just NEED food). I thought about it beforehand and knew what I was getting myself into. I wanted them and ate them and enjoyed them...till later on in the evening and this morning. Now of course I feel huge and tend to beat myself up over it. I'm counting it as a binge. I am forgiving myself so I can move forward. I think forgiving ourselves is important in order to stop. I am working on getting better at it.

I really want today to be better. I have a plan and will stick to it. I just hate it that being at work is such a difficult time for me. Not wanting to be there, boredom, procrastination are triggers for me and when junk food is around some days I feel like can't resist.0 -

I've been horribly lazy lately. The overeating is out-of-hand, but at least I'm not binging.0 -

Work can be hard for me too. I have my own snacks here and most days this works for me. Some days at the end of the day I cave in and since at the end of day this wards of going back and back and back since I am leaving soon. Most days this works too. Yes some days I count really bad overeating days as binge even though it was really not a binge because in a way I was out of control even if not a true blue bingeYes overeating is not a binge I think we all know when we are out of control and in a binge cycle.
