    Ok, I admit it, I had a binge.

    Date of binge : 6/26/13

    Time of binge : Approx. 1pm-5:40pm (on and off)

    Location of binge : Kitchen, computer room.

    Body language during binge (e.g. Sitting, standing, slumped, tense) : standing in kitchen, sitting in computer room. Body language could be described as 'blah' at the time.

    Company kept (alone, friends, family, partner etc) : alone

    Approximate calories consumed during binge : Approx 2910.

    The amount of time between realising I wanted to binge and starting the binge was ........... Maybe 20 minutes before it actually happened. I had 'binge' on the brain a bit prior by tried to remedy those 'need to eat' feeling with carrots at first. FAIL!

    Before I started to binge I was doing ......... drinking some water, at the computer.

    Before I started to binge I was feeling .......... tired, sore, conflicted (should I work out? Hurt knee during a fall yesterday. Went back and forth, just work out, no don't you'll make the knee worse, blah blah)

    During the binge I felt ......Blah. Nothing special, but also feeling like 'here I go AGAIN'.

    After the binge I felt ......angry, physically miserable (full, heavy fat stomach, if I ate more I am sure I would puke) I feel like I have ONCE AGAIN let myself down.

    From this binge, I have learned ........that once again I effed up and no matter how many times it happens and how awful it ALWAYS feels, that for some reason it's still not enough to make me STOP doing it.

    I deleted the last part because I won't happily move on and I WILL beat myself up over it.

    Ok, I admit it, I had a binge.

    Date of binge : 6/28

    Time of binge : 4:30--10 p.m.

    Location of binge : Mom's house, then my living room after 6:30

    Body language during binge (e.g. Sitting, standing, slumped, tense) : sitting, probably slumped

    Company kept (alone, friends, family, partner etc) : at Mom's house= Mom, son, brother, sister-in-law; at home=by myself

    Approximate calories consumed during binge : I added up the calories and got about 1,000 calories.

    The amount of time between realising I wanted to binge and starting the binge was ........... I didn't even stop to think about it. I just started stuffing myself.

    Before I started to binge I was doing ......... at Mom's house=talking to Mom and watching my son; at my house=reading/playing around on computer

    Before I started to binge I was feeling .......... I don't know how I felt. I guess disconnected from myself.

    During the binge I felt ...... a little guilty but mostly numb.

    After the binge I felt ...... even more guilty.

    From this binge, I have learned ........ I binge a lot when I'm at my mom's house, for whatever reason. I probably fall back in to old habits when I'm there. I can't say no. I have also learned that I cannot buy a loaf of bread from the bakery because I will eat the whole thing. Tonight I threw away the last 1/4 of the loaf. I felt guilty for "wasting" food, but I also felt a lot better after I threw it in to the compost bin.

    I am pleased with myself for having confessed to my binge, I can now move on from it without beating myself up.
  • I really needed to write this out today.

    Ok, I admit it, I had a binge.

    Date of binge : June 29 2013

    Time of binge : 9:45 pm

    Location of binge : Couch

    Body language during binge (e.g. Sitting, standing, slumped, tense) : Laying down

    Company kept (alone, friends, family, partner etc) : Alone

    Approximate calories consumed during binge : 1300 (20 minutes)

    The amount of time between realising I wanted to binge and starting the binge was ........... About an hour. I called a friend and tried to distract myself and then ordered it while I was on the phone with her.

    Before I started to binge I was doing ......... Trying to zone out by watching TV and distracting myself from thinking about my problems.

    Before I started to binge I was feeling .......... Feeling sad, alone, unattractive.

    During the binge I felt ...... Distracted, comforted, disgusted

    After the binge I felt ...... Hate (toward myself), unattractive, fat, disgusted, alone and deserving of being alone

    From this binge, I have learned ........ Binge eating makes me feel worse than before I started. I haven't binged in a long time, and all the sad unworthy feelings I was feeling just overwhelmed my resolve not to overeat. I didn't realize that I still felt exactly the same things I felt before the binge compared to after. Binge eating doesn't solve my problems. It doesn't make me feel better. It makes me feel worse, and alone, and disgusted and disappointed in myself. But it's over. And all I can do is eat normally (not starve myself or lie to myself about how I'll eat better) but I can eat normal. I am worthy.

    I am pleased with myself for having confessed to my binge, I can now move on from it without beating myself up.

    Body language during binge (e.g. Sitting, standing, slumped, tense) : sitting, watching tv

    Company kept (alone, friends, family, partner etc) : alone

    Approximate calories consumed during binge : ~2000

    The amount of time between realising I wanted to binge and starting the binge was very short, no more than twenty minutes.

    Before I started to binge I was doing great the whole weak, today I've been trying to finish a really frustrating paper though and had called my mom, which resulted in me being super homesick.

    Before I started to binge I was feeling incredibly lonely, everyone I know is out of town or has no time for me.

    During the binge I felt lonely, empty, sad, trying to justify it with PMS.

    After the binge I felt sick, but still empty and lonely and homesick. I cried a little.

    From this binge, I have learned that I should have just cried right away. At least I could have been sad and hot. Now I'm just sad and a step behind.

    I am pleased with myself for having confessed to my binge, I can now move on from it without beating myself up.
    Thanks for reading.

    Before I started to binge I was doing ......... Having a coffee thinking it is a good time to have breakfast

    Date of binge : 7/24/13

    Time of binge : 215

    Location of binge : Home, in front of computer

    Body language during binge (e.g. Sitting, standing, slumped, tense) : sitting Indian style...feet not on ground

    The amount of time between realizing I wanted to binge and starting the binge was ........... 2 hours

    Before I started to binge I was doing ......... on the computer, procrastinating, not doing the homework I was supposed to, trying to come up with a plan to get on track with my eating, thinking I can give myself a week of binging and get back on track

    Before I started to binge I was feeling .......... down on myself, guilt, embarrassment, shame, anxious, overwhelmed, helpless

    During the binge I felt ......guilt, excitement, this is the last time

    After the binge I felt ......uncomfortable, upset with self, mad at self, shaming self

    From this binge, I have learned ........I use food to keep me from doing what I am supposed to, gluten and sugar are my triggers big time, and I use food to cope with anxiety when starting something new-it helps me feel comfort, grounded, safe, yet a bit numbing. I am wondering if I use it to sabotage myself from living the life I want to live since it keeps me stuck in my fear.

    I've been binge eating a lot lately. Off and on . It's causing me to withdrawal from friends on this site, it causes me to not wanna see irl friends. It makes me feel alone. I don't even look forward to much in life anymore. My thoughts are always telling me I'll only have a good life once I lose these 30-40 lbs. I feel depressed but I'm not sure how serious it is, if I would go a week without binge eating I'd feel more high on life... but ultimately would not be satisfied until the rest of this weight goes away.

    I feel like I'm failing all the normal people on this site who go about losing weight and posting progress pics. I've been here a year and I'm the same weight I started minus 5 lbs.. I yo yo.

    F***.

    I don't know what I'm doing anymore. I'm contemplating diet pills to take my hunger away because I already have cravings, the hunger while restricting at all...doesn't help at all. It's like, a small bit of hunger makes me want to eat...then I over eat, or crave high calorie stuff.

    I'm so sorry for this rant I haven't even been involved in the group much this month. But today was a binge day, so I guess this is confessing and trying to analyze my behavior... :/

    After the binge I felt ...... sick to my stomach, tired, guilty, frustrated with myself

    From this binge, I have learned ........I need to find a better way of managing feelings and stress. I use binges to distract me from what I really need to be doing. I am afraid of success whether it be my weight, school work, work work, whatever.

    Ok, I admit it, I had a binge. :(

    Date of binge : July 30th

    Time of binge : All dayyyy

    Location of binge : Home

    Body language during binge : Sitting on my bed & then in the kitchen

    Company kept : Alone for the majority, made pasta at night.

    Approximate calories consumed during binge : Around 4,000

    The amount of time between realising I wanted to binge and starting the binge was ........... 5 minutes probably. I had my day all planned out and full of healthy foods. In the morning I decided I wanted cereal and kept eating cereal. It wouldn't have been so bad, but I just decide 'might as well cheat the rest of the day'. 3 bowls of cereal led to 3 peices of toast, which led to half a jar of peanut butter, and oreos, and a bunch of pasta for dinner :(

    Before I started to binge I was doing ......... Sleeping

    Before I started to binge I was feeling .......... Hungry, maybe deprived? Before a binge I tell myself that I'm skinny and I need to eat a bunch of food, but it's so unhealthy :( I just want to eat like a normal person.

    During the binge I felt ...... Like I knew I was going to feel gross after, but I enjoyed eating.

    After the binge I felt ...... Bloated and gross. My stomach was in so much pain because I ate gluten.

    From this binge, I have learned ........ I need some self control and to stay away from cereal.

    I am pleased with myself for having confessed to my binge, I can now move on from it without beating myself up. I'm also going to start a mission to start eating my maintenance calories by upping my daily intake 50-100 calories each week & I want to finish C25k! (:

    Hopefully my last ALL day binge where I feel so out of control!

    Ok, I admit it, I had a binge.

    Date of binge : 7/29/13

    Time of binge : 4-5:00 PM

    Location of binge : In my kitchen

    Body language during binge (e.g. Sitting, standing, slumped, tense) : Standing

    Company kept (alone, friends, family, partner etc) : Alone (I'm always alone during binges)

    Approximate calories consumed during binge : 1200

    The amount of time between realising I wanted to binge and starting the binge was ........... 5 minutes. I just thought I was getting a quick snack at first.

    Before I started to binge I was doing ......... cooking a nutritious dinner for the next day.

    Before I started to binge I was feeling .......... anxious, upset, overtired. I was getting ready to go to a birthday party that wasn't going to include dinner, just drinks and cake. I was trying to figure out when to fit in dinner, or at least a quick snack, plus how to get everything done (cooking, cleaning) for the work week. My boyfriend was at a family gathering (which I wasn't invited to, so feeling slightly resentful), and I wasn't sure when/if he was going to show up for the party. It was stressing me out.

    During the binge I felt ...... resentful and full of self-loathing, yet justified. I had a biscuit, then a handful of tortilla chips, and suddenly I'm eating a ton of crap, none of which I really wanted to eat. It didn't matter anymore, because I'd already gone over my cal limit for the day.

    After the binge I felt ...... bloated and gross. I wanted to just go to bed, but because I was bringing the cake, had to drag myself to the party instead.

    From this binge, I have learned ........ to try to be less anxious about everything. The party turned out to be a lot of fun, and my boyfriend made it to the party.

    I am pleased with myself for having confessed to my binge, I can now move on from it without beating myself up. I know my triggers, after the fact. I just have to recognize them before a binge happens, and calm down long enough to keep myself from binging.

    I wrote about it in my blog.
