Day 33: Detailed account of a binge you remember having. Try analyzing your feelings before and after it happened.
We had been traveling, just in the car for a weekend at the coast, with the kids, and we had eaten breakfast and lunch out, and snacks in the car, we got home around dinner time, fixed the kids whatever quick and easy, then I knew I had already gone over in calories for the day, so figured I might as well eat everything I love on the same day, since the day was ruined already. I ate fudge, cheese, chocolate, chips, pretzels, ice cream. It was delicious and I had a horrible stomach ache the rest of the night. I had been doing mfp at 1200 calories very strictly for about 4 months. I think that is what triggered my binging in the first place, the strict calorie restriction. I felt very guilty after, and very uncomfortable. I am in the process of learning moderation with sweets, I can't go without, or I end up binging, I'm learning my happy medium.

I ate a bunch of chips, dinner with dessert, then, binged on bread and butter and cookies. I really wasn't thinking before the binge, except that I wanted the food because I was anxious, but then developed self hate when the binge was over. I knew I would gain weight from the binge and would have to work it off. I also felt depressed and hopeless. I too, am learning moderation.0 -
I remember one where I was at a neighborhood festival and there were food trucks and things everywhere. I hadn't worked out that morning which made me anxious as I would be already missing that plus I was going to be surrounded by food and junk. I started out eating a whole bag of xxl kettle corn, and then ate a footlong hotdog with chips, cookies and went home and ate two pbj rollups, went back out and got a grilled cheese with macaroni in it, went back home and then out again and got more food and made a scrambled egg burrito to finish it all off. I hurt so bad after that. It made me so upset knowing I could t stop eating but I was going to have to work so soooo hard to undo all the damage. It's a devastating feeling when it happens and only if you have experienced it once or frequently do you know how defeating it is0
