have just joined this group as binging is a major obstacle in my weight loss- its either no biscuits or the whole packet!! i can never stop at just one!
Again it happened this weekend, had a very successful week- weighed myself on Friday and had lost 2lb! only to go and eat about 25- 25!- flapjacks over the course of the weekend! (BBC Feelgood flapjacks)
logged it all on MFP, - 1960 calories over- i cried my eyes out yet again.....
i tired to argue that there was no sugar added, all good stuff, banana, apple, nuts and seeds. You should really check out the recipe- they are just sooo good!!!
Other then that my diet is always healthy- its just this stupid binging. Please help me!

Just joined the group, it's been a bad month for me. Need to resist the urge, and do something constructive vs destructive. I'm checking out books that others have recommended on here.0 -
Well, I had a good run... I'm still pretty proud of making it as long as I did. Now I just have to strive for a little longer next time. Things kind of fell apart this weekend in slow motion, but I'm already working on getting back on my feet. I won't say for tonight yet, but for the past few days that I haven't:

Um... I don't know why I overate today.
I had a headache and kept feeling the need to eat. I kind of felt low energy - but I don't know if I was really hungry... I can't really explain how I felt I don't know I thought I needed food..
I'm thinking it was sugar withdrawal symptoms
After a very sugary binge day... I always go cold turkey back to healthy foods and I think the low carb/low sugar day made me feel crappy... too drastic.
So.. I ended up having an afternoon overeating or binge (not sure).. I am up to 2,700 calories total today. I will refrain from mentioning the specific foods because I know it can trigger.
I ate atleast 1,700 in 30 mins or less.
Either this crappy feeling is from the sugar up and downs or it's from too much coffee drinking. I feel like I need to slow down on my coffee and sugar intake... maybe sweeteners too.. .:/ To me it makes it difficult to refrain from binges if I have too much of these things. My body doesn't thank me.
So today wasn't emotional but it was like I was shoving sugar and food down my throat to rid me of the crappy headache and blah physical feeling... It did help. I don't know why the bunch of calories helped. I regret going over calories; though. :c

Binged Sunday night. I sort of planed it all afternoon. It's my last opportunity to eat in secret as my husband returns on Monday. I don't feel good about what I did but I logged everything and I'm back on track today.
This sounds like something I would do. At least it wasn't all weekend long which makes me very proud of you. It's a new week and you can look forward to hubby coming home. Yay!

i haven't binged, but i'm not proud of overeating a trigger food last night for a snack. it was precipitated by not eating very healthy choices all day. i was within my caloric goal, just not nourishing myself well enough which prob led to the feelings that i need to keep eating my snack. so i'm disappointed. but i'm not giving up!0 -

Hi people, looking for some realistic advice..
As I've been at home revising for my exam for the past 3 days, its been a binge eating 3 days. I know for sure that I've put on weight and honestly the thought mortifies me.
I'm desperate to lose it as soon as my exam is over tomorrow. I just wanted to ask you, in your opinion could I lose the amount I binged on in 4 days if I go to the gym everyday and aim to burn 1,500 calories a day? In my binging sessions I probably consumed 1000 calories. I know I'm sounding crazy, but I feel like I've lost my battle which I was fighting so hard for.
Any advise is always much appreciated

It's April 18th, and so far:
Me- 18
Binge- 0
I'm so happy! Just a few weeks ago, I found myself binging quite a bit. I started logging everything I ate and events that happened just prior to binge eating, and I finally pinpointed what makes me binge eat. I was even able to eat healthy when my friend came to visit last weekend. I already feel a lot better!
Welp... It's April 22nd, and the score is now:
Me- 20
Binge- 2
I dunno what happened. I had no trigger emotions. I was eating enough (and I hadn't been feeling hungry or having cravings). I was drinking enough water. I just got insanely hungry and had uncontrollable cravings over the weekend. I wonder if it's because I didn't exercise as much towards the end of the week? That sounds weird, but exercise does seem to calm down my appetite. I started craving something, and I tried to get my mind off of it for an hour. I'd still be craving it after an hour or more. I wasn't just having cravings, I was really hungry.. as in stomach growling and feeling hollow. I actually dreamnt about food over the weekend! Wth? Today wasn't so bad, but for some reason this past weekend was awful. I also wonder if it has to do with that time of the month being nearby? Oh well. Maybe the rest of the week will be better.0 -

Hi again, Bexta!
For me, trying to get rid of the weight so fast would not work. Too severe restrictions have just triggered me to binge again. I would eat a bit less and exercise a bit more and know that the weight will come off eventually. I have to keep reminding my self that this is a lifestyle change, not a diet, so one three day binge will not change my long term goal, which is to get a healthy relationship with food.0 -

Keep up the good work. I know it sucks to give in to binges, but you are human and you are amazing! Just don't quit. Keep coming back and trying.
I need people here! It helps me so much! So I am being selfish and forcing you not to give up!!! LOL0 -
