Binges happen. Fact. They happen for a reason. Often we're not aware of what triggers them and we end up unconsciously falling into an accidental binge. If you're anything like me, you'll beat yourself up after a binge. Want another fact? Beating yourself up doesn't help. Do you know what does help? Learning from our binges. I'm hoping that in this thread we can confess to our binges when they happen, explore why they happened and how that made us feel. I'm not saying that this will stop anyone from the big B, but, perhaps we can learn from others about why we fall into these situations ourselves.
So here's the idea - after a binge, copy the lasts section of this initial post into a reply and fill in the gaps!

I'll start.
Ok, I admit it, I had a binge.
Date of binge : 25th April
Time of binge : 9pm
Location of binge : At home
Body language during binge (e.g. Sitting, standing, slumped, tense) : sitting down, slumped and exhausted
Company kept (alone, friends, family, partner etc) : Started with partner, then when I felt I couldn't eat any more in from of him, sat alone.
Approximate calories consumed during binge : 2500 during around 90 minutes.
The amount of time between realising I wanted to binge and starting the binge was all day! I'd been fighting the urge since getting up very early with our baby,
Before I started to binge I was looking after the children, cooking, cleaning, then waiting to have dinner with my other half, we ended up eating really late and I was starving.
Before I started to binge I was feeling so tired I could cry!
During the binge I felt comforted.
After the binge I felt full, guilty and still so tired that I could cry.
From this binge, I have learned that I confuse being tired with being hungry. With a small baby it is not always possible to get the sleep you need & I reach for food to keep myself awake.

From this binge, I have learned that food can be comforting but I MUST find another way.

Sometimes the overwhelmed feeling (of not having time to yourself all day) can be solved by putting aside a couple minutes to meditate. Try slow breathing exercises. Put the cell away, take a 5 min walk.
Technology (computers, ipods, phones) leave me feeling stressed if I'm on it too long. Sometimes I find I have more time than I realize. Glad you admitted the binge. Way to go in acknowledging it!
Also - I paraphrased some of this (only the list) but I posted a topic specifically for listing feelings/thoughts after a binge/overeating session. Hope it's okay if I stole the idea.0 -
Ok, I admit it, I had a binge, for the third day in a row. This is just getting silly now.

I am pleased with myself for having confessed to my binge, I can now move on from it without beating myself up. Honestly...I don't feel this yet, but I know that it would be an important step toward normal eating. Frankly, I'm not even close to pleased with myself.0 -

Approximate calories consumed during binge : 4000 (6500 for the day)
The amount of time between realising I wanted to binge and starting the binge was ........... Not long at all! I was feeling happy and satisfied with my "cheat day" dinner and came home to eat my "pre-planned" treats. Even though I was already full, I felt obligated to eat them because they were already logged...
Before I started to binge I was doing ......... watching my favorite TV show before bed.
Before I started to binge I was feeling .......... Great! Thought I would have my little treats and enjoy them and be done!
During the binge I felt ...... shame, euphoria
After the binge I felt ...... disgusted, pissed off, regret, and full to being painful.
From this binge, I have learned ........ No more pre-logging "cheat day" treats. NO more eating alone in my room in front of the TV, even if I have calories left. I felt so great and on top of the world all during my "cheat day", full and happy after every meal. Then the night came and I was alone and that's when it started. I have learned something useful from this experience!
I am pleased with myself for having confessed to my binge, I can now move on from it without beating myself up.....I agree with this. I am learning what my triggers are and what to do to avoid days like these.0 -

Wow this is a great thread. Thanks to those who shared!
Ok, I admit it, I had a binge.
Date of binge : April 30
Time of binge : at work from probably 11 am to 630pm (I tend to snack/eat/binge off and on all day long)
Location of binge : work, home
Body language during binge (e.g. Sitting, standing, slumped, tense) : Sitting, walking (ugh, not a good sign for me, I always at least sit!)
Company kept (alone, friends, family, partner etc) : co-workers
Approximate calories consumed during binge : 3450 for the day. I logged it out of curiosity. At least it wasn't 4000+ like it has been lately.
The amount of time between realising I wanted to binge and starting the binge was ........... hmm.....I was thinking about "healthy junk" in the morning. I was telling myself I could have something sweet but healthy like a protein bar or something (BIG binge food of mine) if I ate my planned food for the day. Looking back I see it started way early even though I didn't really realize it!
Before I started to binge I was doing ......... working
Before I started to binge I was feeling .......... Anxious, like I was physically withdrawing from sugar
During the binge I felt ...... satisfied from getting a "hit" or "fix", embarrassed, ashamed but not caring at the same time
After the binge I felt ...... Guilty, angry, afraid
From this binge, I have learned ........ I'm not sure. Bring extra snacks when I go to work at the other office? I know I woke up exhausted and I don't get enough sleep so it was interesting to see that mom2 said she has major sugar cravings when sleep deprived. I *know* I don't get enough sleep during the week....and I struggle the most during the week...hmmmmm.
I am pleased with myself for having confessed to my binge, I can now move on from it without beating myself up.
Wow this was really good to write out! Thanks everyone!0 -
First off, just joined this group! I'm serious about losing 20-30 pounds, because I've always been a really healthy person (most of the time). I eat well and relatively clean and exercise daily. I'm in my early twenties so I know my body has the capability to look as strong and fit as I feel, but what's stopping me? These occasional binges. I'm sure of it. So here's to my first 'confession.'
Ok, I admit it, I had a binge.
Date of binge : 4/30/13
Time of binge : 10pm-12am
Location of binge : My apartment
Body language during binge (e.g. Sitting, standing, slumped, tense) : Sitting/ dancing
Company kept (alone, friends, family, partner etc) : My roommate and another friend
Approximate calories consumed during binge : Probably about 2000 (we had wine and cake)
The amount of time between realising I wanted to binge and starting the binge was: An hour or so. I was really fighting it, but was peer-pressured. As always.
Before I started to binge I was doing : Comforting my roommate who was dumped by her boyfriend yesterday.
Before I started to binge I was feeling: Guilty already; unsure of how to address the situation where I knew my friends would binge.
During the binge I felt: Sick, guilty, out of control.
After the binge I felt : Disgusted, angry, sick.
From this binge, I have learned: I really need to find better ways to deal with peer pressure to binge drink and eat. I'm in college and I always find myself faced with situations like what happened last night. I know that I'm acting no differently from all of my friends, but I want so much more for myself and I feel like all of my hard work at the gym goes down the drain when I do this. I had a great week before last night and I felt on top of the world. I need to hold on to that feeling and resist the urge to binge!
I am pleased with myself for having confessed to my binge, I can now move on from it without beating myself up. Today's a new day! 0 -
Ok, I admit it, I had a binge.
Date of binge : 30th April
Time of binge : 6.30am - 8.30am
Location of binge : Café and living room
Body language during binge (e.g. Sitting, standing, slumped, tense) : Sitting
Company kept (alone, friends, family, partner etc) : Alone
Approximate calories consumed during binge : I cannot even count, but over 5000
The amount of time between realising I wanted to binge and starting the binge was ........... I had been up all night, stupidly, and instead of going to bed, I developed strong urges to go out, at 5am and find an open shop.
Before I started to binge I was doing ......... Reading Mfp
Before I started to binge I was feeling .......... I have no idea.
During the binge I felt ...... Nothing, because I always read Mfp or watch something when I binge so that my feelings take second place
After the binge I felt ...... Full, hopeless, upset, tired
From this binge, I have learned ........ That I need to stop staying up reading this forum, or any internet site for that matter, especially when it comes close to my TOM. I have also learnt that when I feel too tired to exercise, the guilt and self pressure from that tends to drive me to binge so I then have more of an excuse to not feel up to exercising. It has been a repeating pattern for me. I will usually have eaten a lot anyway before bed, get up feeling like crap, full of sugar cravings, know I am too tired to exercise even though it is a beautiful sunny day, feel hopeless about that, and go and eat more.0 -
Ok, I admit it, I had a binge.
Date of binge : 4th May
Time of binge : 7.30 - 10.30
Location of binge : Home - the sofa
Body language during binge : sitting slumped on the sofa watching TV

The amount of time between realising I wanted to binge and starting the binge was not very long.
Before I started to binge I was rushing around putting the children to bed etc. My OH had gone out for a drink in the sunshine for the bank holiday with our friends. They'd invited me too but I couldn't go because it was a "no children" event.
Before I started to binge I was feeling sad, annoyed, like I deserved a treat, some me time.
During the binge I felt happier, enjoying the food.
After the binge I felt still pissed off, but also bloated and like I'd ruined all my good work this week. (I've been following Paul McKenna's 4 golden rules and doing SO well)
From this binge, I have learned that I cannot ignore the 3rd rule (as much as I want to) which is "Eat mindfully and consciously" I thought I could still do this while watching TV. It turns out I can't. New rule : eat whatever I want, just not with the TV on!
I am pleased with myself for having confessed to my binge, I can now move on from it without beating myself up.0 -
I just made the no TV rule for myself too! Hope it helps. I did find I enjoyed my food much more today though!0

I need to find an outlet when I am upset!!0 -

Ok, I admit it, I had a binge.
Date of binge : 5/7
Time of binge : 9:30 pm
Location of binge : kitchen and dining room
Body language during binge (e.g. Sitting, standing, slumped, tense) : first eating sitting down, then standing up, in the kitchen, but hiding afraid my husband would one own stairs or smell it on my breath.
Company kept (alone, friends, family, partner etc) : a lone, husband was upstairs
Approximate calories consumed during binge : 1200-1600
The amount of time between realising I wanted to binge and starting the binge was ........... About 24 hrs.
Before I started to binge I was doing ......... Yesterday when I was shopping with my husband I saw one thing that I have been wanting so badly, but I closed my eyes tightly and marched pst it. tonight, I was o tired and was Laying in bed after having eaten a horrible diet dinner of baked cod. The fish was so tasteless that I threw it away and became very hungry. I went own and just binged.
Before I started to binge I was feeling .......... I had not weighed in today, but had taken my measurements and they were up. And I'm coming up on my period. AND i was reading the forums and there are so many food triggers in there. i feel Like I am in prison to food while everyone else eats whatever the hell they want. Feeling like a failure. Some People on the forums are so nasty and mean.
During the binge I felt ...... Starving, very guilty. I felt like they were all watching me. But glad that I was finally eating. The food wasn't very tasty, and I put it away at two points, but got it back out again..
After the binge I felt ...... Guilty, like I had worked put so hard, jut to blow it. Like I wanted to do another workout, which I started, but could not finish
From this binge, I have learned ........ I'm up at two am with reflux. I should have just allowed myself to eat what i really wanted without forcing crazy restrictions. I always cut back too far, until I'm starving. I don't need to lose weight so fast. I need to stay steady. If I would have eaten what I'd been craving earlier, instead of calling it off limits, I would not have binged on stuff that didn't even Tate good and wasn't fulfilling anyway.
I am pleased with myself for having confessed to my binge, I can now move on from it without beating myself up.

From this binge, I have learned ........ I need help.

Approximate calories consumed during binge : 1200
The amount of time between realising I wanted to binge and starting the binge was ...........hours
Before I started to binge I was doing ......... computer
Before I started to binge I was feeling ..........lonely, angry, tired, unsure
During the binge I felt ......guilty, stressed, tired
After the binge I felt ......stuffed, ashamed, sad
From this binge, I have learned ........Good news - because of having tracked for two weeks - I recorded everything I ate AND i did not go over my day's calorie allotment - with the 2.5 hours of hiking I did.
Go to bed when tired, do not stay on the computer when tired, don't attempt to accomplish anything when I'm clearly getting nonfunctional
Brush my teeth - can't recall when I've continued eating after that - maybe an automatic after dinner brush?
Interesting possibility - I eat my anger
Hadn't realized that during it - this reflection helped surface it THANKS
I am pleased with myself for having confessed to my binge, I can now move on from it without beating myself up.0
