always start off with a bang..then whoop

Perhaps you are trying to do too much all at once, it's not easy to go cold turkey. When making a lifestyle change, you need to make it gradual so it becomes habit. eventually you'll start craving fruits and veggies rather than processed foods. Also make sure you are eating enough healthy food and not exercising too much. the reason you're probably bingeing is because you're trying too hard. Just take things one step at a time. Hope this helps

I agree with this.

Don't start exercising so much at the start. Reduce your calories and go for a walk.

Once you maintain that healthy pattern for a week, up it to a run, or add an additional workout.

I too suffer from an "all or nothing" type personality - I find it hard to do something unless I'm devoting 100% of my energy and care into it. This time I'm trying.

Impressive. Most impressive. Obi-Wan has taught you well. You have controlled your fear. Now, release your anger. Only your hatred can destroy me.

Take baby steps! If you're finding it all just too overwhelming, start by exercising and just documenting what you eat, not being so worried about the cals... then start adding more in as time goes on.

an aside, working out 3 times a day isn't something I could sustain for the long term, and that's what you're trying to do, right? You want this to be a full lifestyle change so you need to live your life now as you could live your life in 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, etc

Also, eating something bad doesn't mean the rest of your day needs to go down the sh!tter as well. We all eat some crap foods, but its when you let it derail your whole day/week/diet that you're in trouble.

what is with all the irrelevant replies on MFP lately?

I'm bored at work today, whattya want from me. sorry if it's annoying u

Heck, I don't exercise ONCE every day, let alone 3 TIMES in a day. That would get old for me real quick.

Once a day is enough...and you dont have to kill yourself in that one session. Eat well, but treat yourself a little and dont totally deprive yourself. I still eat chocolate and other snacks in moderation. It WORKS.....just make it work for YOU. This may sound cliche-ic but if I can do it, anyone can.

this^^

When I started exercising, I went 5 days a week for 2 weeks so I could get into the habit--but it was only for 30-45 minutes at a time. Within the first month, I cut it down to 3 days a week, then eventually settled on 4 days.

It sounds like you are driven to binge because you have worked out so hard that your body needs fuel. Cut down to ONE workout a day and eat at least 1200 calories a day.

A pattern I have when wanting to change my lifestyle is..I start out with a bang day one then day 2 it's hard. Especially with binge eating disorder..

like yesterday I eat healthy all day, don't go over calories and exercise 3 times morning afternoon and night.

then today starts out good then womp. breads, icecrem, boredom eating calling me

I need some friends to help support me

Frankly, exercising three times a day sounds like a continuation of binge behavior. I would cut back to one solid workout once a day or even five times a week.

To adopt a slow, steady, and reasonably consistent approach is much more challenging than many people imagine. For one thing, it's kind of boring.

Good luck.
