    Food- 4

    Realized I don't care for the word binge. It is like submitting to my weaknesses, has a poor connotation. Instead, I am just using food....I just ate too much food. Helps me feel a little more empowered to know I can be in control over food versus such a strong action of binging.

    The day after eating items that aren't as Heath for you tend to be hard.... Your body is unbalanced and trying to resolve itself and purify itself. It's easy to mistake those unsettling feelings for the urge to eat more, I know I do. Stay strong.... You got this!
    Heavy overeating tonight. Sweets in the house from Valentines Day.
    Able to stop as soon as I got on here and logged. I don't feel very good physically, but my attitude is postitive. It's an isolated event.
    Me: 14
    Binge: 1

    It would have been very different without my support system on here.,


    Quoting myself - it is not an "isolated event". Wishful thinking...fake it til you make it.......... 2nd day of overeating including sweets.

    Overate, but within weekly limit: 1 (2/16)
    Days finished logging 14

    January 22/9

    Yesterday I enjoyed a delicious meal that I may have been scared of eating in the past, since it used to trigger a binge. I enjoyed it and was able to stop. So proud of myself! Maybe I can actually go out and enjoy weekends now!

    I agree the day after a binge is hard. It is like my body is in withdrawl.


    Yesterday was great!!!

    No binges since my NYE resolution!

    I'm happy because I'm visiting my sister in Boston this weekend and her idea of a healthy meal is an egg, cheese and bacon sandwhich..loads of processed food here..normally I binge my whole visit! It's amazing that she's skinny..

    Binge 4

    Binged the past 2 days bad. I feel in such a bad place right now. I am disgusted with myself but trying to forgive and love me all at the same time. I am so sick of this cycle. It is hard to love yourself when you self destruct it with food and wonder what the hell you are doing to yourself. I look at my children and know they deserve better than this. I have got to beat this. I don't know what the answer is..logging food or not, I was becoming so obsessive with counting calories and now I am the point I just don't want to do it. There has to be a happy medium and just haven't found it. Hopefully tonight when I check in I will be in a better place, mentally, and beaten the binge for today.

    I have been there. I had a binge a few days in a row. The first couple days after are the hardest. Hang in there!!!

    Had a run of days of binge eating. Yes, it feels horrible. You end up feeling totally swollen and somehow unclean and it is a huge battle to stop as the cravings can be so intense. But remember, the self destructive behaviour happens because you don't love yourself. For if you did love yourself, eating too much food would not take that away as the love is for the person within.

    Let myself get too hungry before dinner and snacked on stupid stuff, but I didn't have very much, I logged it, and I went over calories today only by about 50, so I'm taking that.

    Good to see so many people posting here!
