Last night was bad in epic proportions - at least 7000 calories
Today I dusted off the urge to binge even more and did a 90minute workout of walking up and down stairs. It eased some of my guilt and also gave me some time to think about some stuff. Well I am still pissed off and disappointed with my massively ridiculous binge yesterday, and also currently fighting off the urge to binge, I am staying positive and keeping faith that things can only get better. Only by never giving up can I slowly overcome the binge monster. I don't care if people without BED understand my struggles or not, I'm just gonna focus on my own goals and own battles!!!0 -

The binge was better though than usual...I didn't have so much guilt associated with it. And I guess I would define it as a mini-binge. Calorie-wise it was smaller than usual. And I actually stopped eating without going to bed. Also, I started it on purpose sorta...it was a cross between a splurge and a binge. I'm not sure which one to call it, but I guess if I'm not sure I'll mark it a binge.0 -

SO EASY to binge the day after a binge!!!! Get out of the house! You can do it! You'll feel so great tomorrow morning if you don't binge today...and that great feeling will carry over into more good days. You've got this.0 -
So grateful to have discovered this group. I lost 15 pounds in the first 6 weeks of 2013. Then I hit a plateau and my nutritionist recommended a 10-day break to increase my carbs (I've been doing a ketosis diet). That break turned into almost a month. Carbs turned into my usual weaknesses, and that lead to daily binges. Now I've gained back 5 pounds. So discouraging.
In the past, this is moment I would give up. I'd say, "Well, I've already binged this much -- I've already gained back the weight, so I might as well just give in to it" and "I've already binged this month, so this month is a wash; I might as well wait until next month to restart the diet." But instead, I'm admitting to what's happened (which is big for me) and I restarted my diet yesterday.
I pretty much binged March 1-8. My goal will be NO MORE binges for the rest of March.
You can do it, jasmine!! I agree, it's so easy to say "well...I'll try again tomorrow...or I'll try again next week...or next month". A huge leap forward is saying i'll start over RIGHT NOW, right this very minute!0 -

You know that self loathing/down feeling you get after a binge?
Like your whole week could have went super and you were happy and positive all week.... then BAM, you binge. You feel terrible. The negative self talk floods back. You look in the mirror and you're not happy, you don't feel like working out, you feel like you've ruined everything... You feel less motivated in the weight loss goals... and that might carry on for a few days or so.. (Kind of dependent on how quick you bounce back to normal, and if you get rid of the bloated/nasty binge after effects..let go of the guilt... etc)
Is that considered being depressed? I'm not a depressed person but I can get pretty gloomy after binges . I really don't like it, because I don't even feel like myself. It feels like I'm carrying a load of mistakes.
Today wasn't a binge but i haven't fully counted everything, I don't feel motivation to try... But I know that's what I need to do to get to my goals and I'm sure tomorrow and the days to come I'll start getting more into the workouts/watching my diet again.
Hope everyone else is having a good start to their week. 0 -
Yesterday was not too bad in the aspect that I still did not go over my calories for the day but I was still in binge mode last night because I had so many calories left and ate them all and felt sick as a dog afterwards. I hate that. I play little tricks with myself so I don't do that. I have been doing really well just not eating extra calories because they are left. So today not going to do that and stick with being mindful of only eating when time or hungry.

AWESOME!! Congratulations!
I noticed a few others are doing really well too. Great stuff
I almost had a binge yesterday. I was starving all day, eating every two hours and ended up having an unplanned snack that was bigger than it probably should have been. But, I was in control and I did stop myself from eating before it became uncontrolled and decided not to have dinner as I was still full. So I am counting yesterday as a victory to me!

StrongerThanY,
Yes, I can totally relate to how you're feeling. Just know that it won't last forever. I know it's hard to snap out of it. After my binges, it could take days for me to get back to normal. It blows. Treat tomorrow as a fresh start. You can do it!!!

Franrosew, WELCOME!!
wllwsmmr, sorry you had a tough day. I binged for 3 days recently. It was awful. People without BED just do not get it. We can do this!!
StrongerThanY , I think being a bit depressed after a binge happens to me also.
Mollie, I have had extra calories and then binged. For some reason too many calories puts my mind in binge mode then I eat way to much.

Haven't binged in three days and that is something that I cherish...Have to force myself to leave only a few calories otherwise I start to think I can eat more and do and it turns into a binge. Not happening anymore!0 -
