    Binged today :( am feeling so rotten. The day started off so well even though I was tired, but this whole evening has been eating since dinner. I feel sick and nauseous from all the sugar and food I've consumed, and am so disappointed in myself!

    I am just curious as to what people consider a binge? Is it a few calories over in a day or is it when you let youself cpmpletely go and eat an excessive amounts of calores?
  • woodsy0912

    Well my last binge was about 5000 calories in about a 3 hour sitting. Totaling about 8000 for the day. But a binge for me is just getting into that mentality of having to have food to stuff myself with, whatever it is. I might not have even been craving it. It's all mental for me.

    At least today I feel better and I'm not still in that sugar hangover of yesterday. Today is going to be a great day! Stay strong everyone!

    Well, today I DID eat about 2000 calories OVER my goal... BUT, none of it was solo shame evoking binge eating style. It was all social overeating, including birthday cake.

    I should have stopped when I was full, but I got peer pressured (by a tall and voracious friend whose metabolism is MUCH higher due to thyroid a medication she's on) to keep going when we got to my house with leftovers from the birthday party.

    I need to make a contingency plan for if this happens in the future.

    If my best friend (or any friend) offers me food, and I'm already full, I will decline even one bite, because one bite is all it takes for me to start the process of eating myself sick.

    That is great! Social overeating is just a part of life. My issue is stopping here and not letting it go any farther. I would call that day a victory! Good on you!

    So far so good! I've had kind of a stressful last few days but I've been pushing through them with exercise and new hobbies (like knitting to keep my hands busy). Hopefully I can keep this up through finals and all the late nights cramming.

    I did great all day until I got to work at the restaurant. The worst part is that I was in a horrible mood and made the conscious decision to overeat. I just felt like I was in such a horrible mood, why not break my diet and eat all of the food available to me within a two hour window? It was pure laziness. But today will be better!

    Was upset and had a binge this evening :-(

    I'm gutted because I've been following Paul McKenna's 4 golden rules from his book "I can make you thin" this past few days .......

    1. Eat only when you're hungry.
    2. Eat what you want to, not what you think you should.
    3. Eat consciously and enjoy every mouthful.
    4. Stop when you are full.

    There's loads of great stuff in the book, it's well worth a read. It tackles emotional eating and loads of there techniques to address it.

    I was doing so well! I've been eating exactly what I wanted, leaving food on my plate and had to urge whatsoever to binge (all of which have been rare for me of late). This evening though I felt upset and threw the rules out of the window.

    He does say though "When you were a baby, did you walk first time? No. It takes practice. It's normal to fall off the wagon a few times when learning to live by these rules. Just move on and go back to following the rules, don't beat yourself up".

    I'll give it a go.

    I social overate last night too, but didn't feel out of control or that I needed to continue to eat and eat b/c I "screwed up". I just feel happy b/c I remember the days of binging daily, all day every day never feeling hungry and sometimes never not feeling uncomfortably full. Those were dark times filled with loneliness and depression. Happy feels so good.
