I was on the fence about logging today as a binge day. On one hand it definitely wasn't a terrible day. I just ate more than I should. In the past I would've gone buck wild eating and eating and eating when I knew that I screwed up and ate too much, but this feels different. Even though I ate way more than I should have today I'm so proud of myself for not spiralling into a food coma oblivion.
Even though I failed today I feel like a success--like a small step in the right direction. I think the most helpful thing I've learned lately is perfection (or the struggle for it) is the most detrimental thing to my goals in weight loss and my desire to have a healthy normal relationship with food.
I had a doctor/professor in optometry school tell me that it's ok to stumble along the way as long as you fall forward and not backwards. I wonder if she even knows how often I've thought about that simple idea?
As always, thanks to everyone here for your inspiration and support. Sorry I wrote so much.0 -
Today I had about 1650 calories and my target is to eat 1300 a day, it wasn't crazy and I had the control not to spiral into maddness. Should I count this as a binge or not?0

Definitely not! It's all about how you feel! You felt in control, so it's not a binge, besides 350 is nothing!! A good workout will take care of that0 -

Well. I have had 2 days this week (Tuesday and yesterday), where I have eaten more/different foods than I intended to. Both times I was aware of what I was doing and managed to stop myself before I got out of control. I'm going to count them to me. I'm pretty sure a lack of control is considered as part of defining a binge! I just logged those extra's in my diary to stay accountable to myself and a few friends who probably think I'm perfect.
I'm curious - How does everyone classify a binge to themselves? I guess it's fairly subjective

Had a big dessert today and have been snacking on chocolate after dessert - was feeling emotional and stressed, but I didn't binge, and remained in control the whole time! I realize I probably shouldn't have eaten this much junk, but I guess we all have those days! I realize I definitely shouldn't keep this type of chocolate/any candy in the house, but I'm not going to move on to any other types of snacks tonight! Went over my calories for the day though...
For me a binge is feeling out of control, willing to eat anything and everything in front of me, especially things I don't especially like. It's eating so much I feel uncomfortably full, more than a day's worth of calories in a really short period of time!0 -

I'm gutted, I was doing so well! Then yesterday I was feeling so run down, I just couldn't fight the urge to comfort eat :sad:
I was really hoping for a clear run of at least a week and I couldn't even manage that :sad:0 -

Get some rest, forgive yourself and start again. Tomorrow is a new day.

Hi Sarah! I decided to define a binge as a certain large number of calories just because I tend to really trash myself when I binge and I really wasn't binge eating some of the time. I was overeating, but you know it is a totally different thing....so, just for me, it has helped me to be clear that sometimes I am not totally out of control - just a normal occasional overeater like other people:huh: Well, yeah, and then when I really binge, I can give it the respect it deserves because it is way worse than a few thousand calories...0 -

Went out with friends and ate chinese, I gave this one to binge because I ate the whole thing, noodles with shrimp, chicken and pork in a thai sauce. It was a binge, i was getting full but kept eating anyway. Back on track tomorrow. MFP still logged me under calorie goal I think because i only ate some carrots before this chinese but to me it is still a binge because i was getting full and kept eating.0 -

I really have felt self control this week and I know a lot of it comes from being accountable to this group so thank you all.0 -

Went out for lunch with hubby for sushi yesterday . It was all you can eat, but i planned ahead what I would get and logged it ahead and I managed to stick with it.
My son's birthday party is today and I have already calculated and logged the cake and hotdog I am going to have. I am so grateful for the large food database that. MFP has.0
