I was finally getting back on track from my last 2 binges but then it happened again today 
i binged on 2 cans of garbanzo beans, 2 cans of tuna, one of corned beef, 8 slices of bread, 2 glucerma shakes, half the package of gouda cheese, then a packet of chocolate donuts ( 430 calories ), a cupcake, a pastry with a creamy filling, another mexican pastry, then a taco and a half
im so sick of binging but it happens every 3 days, especially when im bored and at home, i did about an hour on the treadmill but i feel so sick and bloated what should i do? I went an entire week without binging before but now it seems to happen more

I'm sorry you feel so bad--helpless, hopeless, out of control. I don't have much advice that you haven't already read (see a nutritionist, consider the possibility that your body just doesn't want to maintain this weight unless maybe you increase muscles, determine if you might have an eating disorder), but I wanted to reassure you that you're not alone, that I've felt what you're feeling. Please put the shame and hopelessness behind you, forgive yourself, and start fresh tomorrow.0

thank you
i've been trying, i did some cardio and went for a walk so im just going to try, as best as i can to forget it ever happened and move foward 0 -
So sorry I'm still battling with the binge I didn't want to get out of bed and do anything. Hoping todays the day I finally stay on track. I guess everyday is a challenge you have to be prepared to face, keep focused you got this : )0

Sorry about what you are going through and I can totally relate. Have you looked into the triggers that cause your binge because I will mindlessly eat what I call "crap foods" and then once I think it over the next day it is always a reason behind it that I never thought about while I was endlessly eating. Usually for me it is a feeling of not being able to control the outcome of something or stressing over not being able to fix something. What sucks is that I will be about 2lbs away from goal weight and then sabbotage actually hitting that number.
Anyhow, I hope that it gets better for you and try to not think about the past....because tomorrow is a new day and a new start.0 -
Same thing for me. I had 4 binges this week. All so bad I was in pain, and ready to vomit. What sucks is, I know the calorie content of everything, it's ridiculous. And over and over again I played in my head how many calories I consumed, and was like, "That's only like, 1 lb of fat, I'll be alright" and before you know it I'm pretty sure I've gained five lbs. Which sucks, because I was at my goal weight, and was trying to maintain. I'm stopping logging calories, because I feel like that's what stresses me out, like, "Oh my god I'm 50calories over might as well have 3 pints of ice cream too"0

Thank you both
CKJ118 - I guess it's that i stress out and binge my bad feelings away, I had a terrible breakup with my ex almost a year ago and my ex is engaged and i've still been single, I feel like with dieting and exercising that I sort of lose my social life and being able to find a partner, So with that feeling of lonliness i guess, I start to binge and it helps me feel better for about an hour or so, a high if you may, Then back down to that low0 -
KatelinIsArmy - Yeah that's what im doing too, im just gonna try my best to move on from it and get back to my diet and exercise regimen, Hopefully im my goal weight by my birthday! ( Valentines! )0

Breaking up is terrible and I know what you mean about the high with food. Remember to take it one day at a time and that if you were meant to be with that person then it would have been and that you have to always consider yourself first. An abusive relationship years ago is what started my weight gain and BED got so much worse....it was like a love/hate thing that I really did not want to give up, but then once I did and I looked back on it and saw the toll it took on me I was relieved to have left it. I have a great husband now and 2 great kids and it would never had ended up this way unless things happened the way they did. I still have nightmares about being in a violent relationship and that is what makes me want to binge at times and most of the times I am good, but sometimes I am not and mostly the good days come way more than the bad. Wishing you peace with this.0

I'm sorry you went through a binge. Just know you're not alone, I know exactly how the guilt and disgust feels after.
Glad you went on a walk!
Like all the comments suggest - forgive yourself, and then take notes on triggers and how to avoid future binges.
I skimmed your profile... says you went from 200 to 133? But you're still not at your goal weight? How tall are you? Where exactly is your goal weight?
Becareful not to get too low, looks to me like your body fat percentage is very fit and lean.
Sometimes binges can be triggered when your body is at the right weight and doesn't want to get smaller *as in, losing too much, and being underweight .
Good luck.0 -
I've binged about 5 times in the past 7 days. Oreos, chinese food, potato chips, candy bars, taco bell, everything has been fair game. I've been really stressed about taking a test for college that I'm supposed to take on Wednesday and I've been eating to feel better. It's ok. You've come so far, you won't undo it because of these eating patterns. You can do it!0

I want to maintain it at around 125, in my profile picture I was about 126 and yeah I was 200 lbs in 2011, a whole box of pizza literally used to be my dinner so binge eating isn't something that's new to me lol 0 -
