I've fallen into the restricting part of this disorder, I still struggle. Today I am consciously making the effort to get my calories up so I don't fall into the binge cycle.0 -
Me: 5
Binge: 2 (4/4; 4/6)
Feeling stronger. I logged my gain for the week. I will do better.0 -
...I'm curious - How does everyone classify a binge to themselves? I guess it's fairly subjective
My feelings before a binge are awful. It's like I can't sit still. I want the people around me to leave so I can eat, eat, eat. I have never binged in front of anyone. Usually if my famiy is home, I sneak into the kitchen and eat. Sometimes I will stuff something into my pocket and then go up to my room and eat it. If my binging gets hampered, I will figure out a way to get the food I am wanted. It almost feels like the food is going to go away or something.
Usually I will eat around 2k - 3k calories. Sometimes my stomach hurts so badly and I want to throw up, but I don't. It's usually those times where I promise myself I will stop and that this will be the last binge.
My triggers are emotions, feeling like "Everyone can eat this but me," tiredness and if I have restricted myself too much.
Ugh. I hate it.0 -

Binge - 2 (4/3 & 4/6)
No more holidays, no more birthdays. . . no more EXCUSES!!!! :sad:0 -
Got on the scale today and lost control.
Why do I do this? I hate my binges. I am sore from exercise and feel some pain. So I also think my pain this week has gotten me upset too.
My therapist is working on mostly anxiety. I need help with binging more.

Feeling really good after this weekend and today. I upped my calories to 1400 and I feel content, but there's a little demented diet voice inside that's tormenting me ever so slightly saying I'll never lose anything eating that much. I don't care. I wanna try this b/c I'm sick of eating nothing and losing lots only to regain it right back in a second. As the saying goes, insanity is doing something over and over again the same way and expecting a different result.
As always I'm thankful to the group for being here and having me.0 -
Unfortunately when I woke up in the middle of night I couldn't get my hand off the almonds. Caved in. Still winning and hopefully that was the last time the Binge wins this month!

I am pre-logging Tuesday as a win against THE BINGE because I'm determined to break this today. The earlier I break it the better I will be at beating it!! It's pressing noon here and I'm gonna get ready for my workout!!0 -
I avoided a major urge for a binge today. I agreed to make some cookies for a friend. When I went to the grocery store I had anxiety the entire time and I wanted to buy all of the junk food I saw, go home, shut my bedroom door and have a binge. But I stopped myself and only got the package of cookie dough to make for my friend. So since my anxiety was so high at the store I came up with a game plan for while baking the cookies. I made myself a cup of hot tea and the entire baking time I kept myself busy doing laundry etc. I did not have a single cookie and my friend was very thankful for the cookies I made.
Long story short....
