April 18:
Me:17
Binge:1
After over 2 months of not binging, i finally gave in yesterday, needless to say, woke up feeling sick and stuffed today. I ended up fasting today which was pretty hard but somehow, i managed, and i feel a lot better. One thing that really surprised me was that NONE of the junk i binged on tasted good at all! Maybe my taste buds have changed or something
Actually looking forward to eating healthy tomorrow lol. 0 -

I did overeat last night, because I was up until late into the early hours reading things online, but it was not rapid, uncontrolled eating. I knew what I was doing, so not counting it as a binge. On another note, I am 5 Ibs, down in about 3 weeks. Not sure if it is as a result of the Intermittent Fasting or just that I increased exercise a bit, but I will take it.0 -

So, tonight I detoured into the mall, and started the first steps of what normally leads me down the road to a 3000+ calorie binge. I told myself that I was just going to possibly buy one item, but then at the last minute I grabbed a second, more caloric, item. I knew it had begun. It was the beginning of a familiar routine for me.
I ate my food, preparing for the next awful step to happen.
But then I intervened. I used the strategy that Poppy told me she had decided to use next time. I acknowledged that I wanted ALL the foods, and MORE of the food I had eaten, but then told myself to wait. I promised myself that I could have some later if I still wanted it in 15 minutes. I even took the additional step of plugging the foods I was craving the most into my upcoming weekend days and Friday, and promising that I could have them for those specific meals.
I got up, and I left the building.
I went to the gym. I couldn't make myself run, because I was very full, but I did walk some.
For me, even though I lost control during the first part, I think I will count this as a victory. I only ate 1/10 of what I would NORMALLY have eaten during a binge, and I did manage to intervene.
It really helped to promise myself that I would be flexible and negotiate. It was also helpful to schedule my binge foods into non-binge times.
I still feel a little gross/full, but at least I'm not a crying mess, like usual!
Yay! One small victory at a time!
Nice job stopping it. I now just tell myself that I can have a few items I tend to want to binge on, on Saturday and that is when I have any of the less healthy bits and bobs I start craving in the week. It is sometimes hard to leave the items I want on the shelf when I want them available right now, but it is a good test in discipline.0 -

I'm so happy! Just a few weeks ago, I found myself binging quite a bit. I started logging everything I ate and events that happened just prior to binge eating, and I finally pinpointed what makes me binge eat. I was even able to eat healthy when my friend came to visit last weekend. I already feel a lot better! 0 -

I ate quite a lot of trigger food last night, but had planned to allow myself some treats. I wanted to binge, I very nearly did, then I realised that I was full & stopped. I probably over indulged (I was over my calorie goal by just under 200, so I don't earn my "reward" of the next song in my iTunes album) but I'm still counting it was a win.0 -

was doing well. went out for date night with hubby, still did well. ate a little over on cals and got into "I'm gonna treat myself mode" then ate too much of something. could have been worse. it was a small binge, but it was a binge none the less.
however, it has been a very good month for me, and for that I am proud of myself!
p.s. I STILL LOGGED, which was soooo hard, but i did it.0 -
Me: 18
The Binge: 1 :frown:
I have been doing so well...
So, it's the morning after a binge. So far I've had coffee and a fruit. I am a bit scared that this will continue.
I did log, but didn't complete the logging so no one can see it unless they notice that I didn't and actually go looking for it. I really don't want to hear all the encouraging words that will come from my friends who NEVER eat like that!
I am really worried about today because I have this feeling that I had for the past two days that I am so bored with my life. Definitely had the 'treat myself' mode like lots_of_love said, but instead of feeling satisfied, I felt like it wasn't enough of a treat and just went crazy after I got home. I was very good in front of my friends at dinner, of course.
:flowerforyou: Today is a new day. I don't have to continue to binge today. :flowerforyou:
The last time I came really close to a binge was the previous Friday night. I go out with friends every Friday and have for years now. Most are overeaters who aren't interested in getting better yet. All have started an account on here and just stopped posting after a week or two. I hate to be like this, but I feel like I need to be eating with like minded people right now. I'm not yet strong enough to be surrounded by the "I can't" energy. At my age and my weight this is really a life or death issue for me.
:flowerforyou: It's okay for me to avoid people who don't have a positive attitude about fitness and weight loss. :flowerforyou:
Okay, I'm ready to let go of that guilt trip.
A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do ...!
There, now I am ready to get on with my healthy life.0
