What was your WORST binge ever?

I will start out with something innocent, like lunch. A sandwich or some steamed veggies with chicken or fish, then suddenly after I eat I turn into a wild animal. Nothing is safe.

^^^ this made me laugh out loud!

I remember once picking up a med pack of timbits for a friend as a thank you for babysitting my kids. I only MENT to eat one or two on the way.... and then I had eaten half of the box.

^^^ ive done this. Picked up lunch for my husband at McDs intending to eat just one or two fries but when I got home id eaten both our fries. Large fries mind you. Was so embarrassed I hid the evidence and pretended to be pissed that they forgot our fries:ohwell:

Hmmmm about 3 years ago my "binges" could be considered a whole bag of goldfish by myself, and plateful of pasta afterward.*every sunday eating at my italian grandmothers house*

I got into baking as well, so once I tried to make my own icing using crisco(the recipe called for it) Looking back on it I remember tasting the crisco over and over again(I probably had at least 1/4 cup crisco)

Umm lets see, eating cookie dough, cookies, and frosting at cookie parties with my friends.
OH! I often went out to dinner with family:

At friendlies: I'd get a cup of chicken noodle, grilled cheese with fries, and at the end of the meal I'd get a friend Z, of either oreo or reeses flavor. (I also had those big colorful soda's in those pint sized glasses: Blue-raspberry because the cherry tasted like cough medicine)

At Pizza hut: I'd get a large rootbeer(SUGAR+REFILLS) and then eat 3-4 cheesy breadsticks with marinara sauce, I'd get a kids mini pizza, be to full to eat it, BUT by the time we left I'd have room so I ate it in the car on the way home.(OH THE SODIUM)

At Chinese Buffets: I'd often get the fried chicken wings, chicken nuggets, a SHEET ton of pork fried rice(of which I made sure to pick out the pork pieces in the pan so i had alot of them), then I'd have 2 of those fried sugar covered donuts + ice cream.

Now for 1 1/2 years I've developed anorexia(in recovery though) SO my binges now consist of:
A piece of devils food cake (may 2x2 inches with frosting on top and choc. chips inside it) I then went to zumba for an hour(I would have puked it up but vomiting scares the **** out of me)

3-5 Large carrots: I 've had a passion for them as of late. I could eat a whole bag of minis no probs

1/2 box of special k chips/ 1 whole container of gerber baby puffs(lol only 150 cals so not a binge really)


TOOO BEE HONEST!
i wish i didnt care anymore.. I'd kill for a vegan friend-z alternative(dairy messes with my digestion)

Seeing this thread has made me realize how long I've gone without a full out binge, and makes me quite proud of myself. I've had days of overeating, but not binges like I used to.

It would typically be:

Afternoon: A ton of chinese takeout. And not the "healthy" stuff. Orange chicken, ribs, lo mein, fried rice. Then I'd hit the japanese restaurant and buy a ton of sushi.

Evening/night
1 -2 boxes of large pan pizza with 2-3 toppings
1 box of breadsticks
Buffalo wings
2L of some type of soda
Ice cream, 1-2 pints

And I would reach a point where eating hurts, but I'd just keep going.

The worst part about it? These binges happened whenever I was "dieting". I'd go a week of low calories (1200-1400 calories, which with a BMR ~1700 is very low for me) and then Friday night/Saturday night when my roommates left for the weekend, I would just inhale all that food. And no, I didn't throw it up/use laxatives. It was digested and used by my body.

Just thinking about it makes me want to puke.

A box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Even scooped out the sugary powder at the bottom. Talk about a major sugar high then a huge sugar crash. Ugh.

OMG! I DO NOT purchase cereal because for some reason I always end up overeating with it ... especially Cinnamon Toast Crunch lol. Then afterward I feel all bloated from the milk and just too much cereal in general.

This is why I stick with a protein shake and or fruit/yogurt for breakfast and the same for snacks. NO CEREALS.

I ate two Whoppers, large fries, Jr whopper, large sweet tea and a apple pie sat in the Burger King parking lot and ate the whole thing....ahhjj

Back when I used to smoke, I celebrated a 3 day weekend and got baked out of my gourd. I then proceeded to order a Large Round Table Pizza and turn on a horror flick.

After 15-20 minutes, the damn thing was gone. All of it. I blamed the cat.

Oh.Some of your binges sound so small,compared to my worst Bulimia days.I am ashamed.

Breakfast: 10-15 bread slices 12 hard crispbreads(Both with TONS of butter and full fat cheese).4 Cups of nesquik like chocolate milk.(Soooooo much powder).1 liter milk with branflakes/cornflakes and tons of sugar!

Lunch:school lunch.

Afternoon:20 crispbreads,10 slices of bread(Butter and cheese),I bag of cinnomon roles.Gingerbread mix.200 gr Choclate bar.

Dinner:pasta (toons of butter and salt) with meatballs.

Night:Bag of popcorn,bag of chips,pepsi max,1 liter milk with branflakes(again with a lot of sugar) and Then about 1,5 lifers icecream

Late night:after purging/waiting feeling empty and having sore throth I would cry infront of the tv with 1 liter icecream.


These where bad days when my parents where somewhere else,about once a week.Rest of the days i would binge smaller(but still huge) amounts in my room alone.Im 77 days bingefree now!Ofcourse I gained weight at this time but I was never overweight.(Started binging after anorexia period In my life.)

A dozen of Raw vegan chocolate chip cookie dough with a 1/2 gallon of almond milk. Can you say sick!!!!!

Just 2 weekends ago I was camping for Canada Day long weekend and the first night drank 12 beer and a 26er of rum and almost a 2 litre bottle of diet ginger ale(need mix)

Started Friday July 12 at 6pm. Bowl of Tuna pasta, 25 TimBits, 1 Medium all dressed pizza, 1 regular poutine, Small Oreo Ice cream, Starbucks Iced coffee. All within a 5 hour span. I fasted yesterday and am now back on my regular eating plan. I just read this http://www.jcdfitness.com/2009/03/how-i-eliminated-binge-eating-completely/ and currently looking into intermittent fasting.

3 sandwiches with nutella, a bag of chips and a box of chocolate chip cookies. Think I was around 3000 calories by the end of the day....ughhh

The only I binge on is alcohol. Beer, wine, hard liqour. All of it.

I don't think this is a very healthy topic at all. We shouldn't encourage bragging about self destructive behavior.

Agreed! I do find it fascinating, but it's pretty bad.
