    I am a clean eater. Even if I binge, I binge on clean whole foods.

    i am fine until night time. Nights where I stay at my boyfriends are the worst as we loved to watch tv and eat crisps and ice cream :(

    I am a binge eatter for sure, and I need to get some control. Today has been a BAD day. It usually seems to happen every 3 or 4 days for me :sad:

    An emotional/boredom eater. Just really finally admitting this to myself...

    I am a squirrel. Or a rabbit. Definitely not a dog. I end up eating a lot of small meals throughout the day, mostly snack food (which is something I'm trying to change), so I end up eating a lot of calories spread out over time.

    Eating habits are something that I feel really take some dedication to change!

    This. Seriously, I do great during the day for the most part, but tend to snack a lot in the evening. Boredom is a problem for me, but I am not usually an emotional eater. In fact, I tend to not eat when really stressed.

    I binge eat (eat too much food to the point of feeling uncomfortable) and overeat (graze all day long). Fortunately the episodes aren't as frequent now. I also eat mindlessly and fast - I really have to pay attention to what I'm eating and eat it slowly.

    Boredom/emotional eater. I usually am totally fine during the day when I am busy but it's later in the evenings if I am just sitting around that I tend to want to eat. This is why I leave myself with the most calories for the end of the day. That way I don't sit there thinking 'I REALLY want to eat but it will put me way over in calories! WAH!!' Instead I can think 'oh I can eat this AND this AND this yet today, awesome'

    I'm with you on this, it is really quite a struggle since I've been in a dark place for a bit. :embarassed:

    I am a bored/emotional eater but mainly at night. I can control it during the day. But, at night I feel like I have a bottomless pit of a stomach.

    Not much of a snacker, prefer full meals with the biggest being midday

    I'm a good and bad eater at the same time. My main problem is portion control and a tendency to overindulge in snack foods. I eat nutritious and healthy meals, but have always had a hard time not overdoing that as well. MFP has really helped me keep both these in check - although I really wish I could cut the junk food out even more. I'm certain that I will have no trouble maintaining a healthy weight now that I've become glued to the MFP app and log every bite.

    I have a small stomach. Difficult to eat more than 500 calories in one sitting, but it is guaranteed I'll be hungry an hour later. My co-workers tease me that I'm always eating but seem to keep losing weight!

    I only eat when I am hungry--do not know what that makes me but when I eat --- I try to make healthy choices.

    I have struggled with binge eating in the past as well. Now I consider myself a snacker... I have to snack all throughout the day and spread out my calories to be able to not binge! I also have to make sure I'm eating enough calories—none of this 1200 stuff!

    Binge eater. I'm good...good...good...then I eat everything. Like today. I've seriously eaten everything I can reach.

    Partly a boredom eater, and partly because I like the feeling of eating and being full - or what I THINK is fullness but is probably just bloat. :)

    I'm an 'all the day', 'emotional', 'boredom' kind of eater. So I am on food patrol all day trying to keep myself in check. :ohwell:
