After the binge I felt ......angry, physically miserable (full, heavy fat stomach, if I ate more I am sure I would puke) I feel like I have ONCE AGAIN let myself down.
From this binge, I have learned ........that once again I effed up and no matter how many times it happens and how awful it ALWAYS feels, that for some reason it's still not enough to make me STOP doing it.
I deleted the last part because I won't happily move on and I WILL beat myself up over it.0 -

I felt guilty for "wasting" food, but I also felt a lot better after I threw it in to the compost bin.

During the binge I felt ...... Distracted, comforted, disgusted
After the binge I felt ...... Hate (toward myself), unattractive, fat, disgusted, alone and deserving of being alone
From this binge, I have learned ........ Binge eating makes me feel worse than before I started. I haven't binged in a long time, and all the sad unworthy feelings I was feeling just overwhelmed my resolve not to overeat. I didn't realize that I still felt exactly the same things I felt before the binge compared to after. Binge eating doesn't solve my problems. It doesn't make me feel better. It makes me feel worse, and alone, and disgusted and disappointed in myself. But it's over. And all I can do is eat normally (not starve myself or lie to myself about how I'll eat better) but I can eat normal. I am worthy.

Good way to think about it! It can be really hard for me to "move on" sometimes - its awesome that you seem ready and willing to let it go and look forward!0 -

I've been binge eating a lot lately. Off and on . It's causing me to withdrawal from friends on this site, it causes me to not wanna see irl friends. It makes me feel alone. I don't even look forward to much in life anymore. My thoughts are always telling me I'll only have a good life once I lose these 30-40 lbs. I feel depressed but I'm not sure how serious it is, if I would go a week without binge eating I'd feel more high on life... but ultimately would not be satisfied until the rest of this weight goes away.
I feel like I'm failing all the normal people on this site who go about losing weight and posting progress pics. I've been here a year and I'm the same weight I started minus 5 lbs.. I yo yo.
F***.
I don't know what I'm doing anymore. I'm contemplating diet pills to take my hunger away because I already have cravings, the hunger while restricting at all...doesn't help at all. It's like, a small bit of hunger makes me want to eat...then I over eat, or crave high calorie stuff.
I'm so sorry for this rant I haven't even been involved in the group much this month. But today was a binge day, so I guess this is confessing and trying to analyze my behavior... 0 -

During the binge I felt ......guilt, knowing the whole time that I said the last time was the last time, now here I am again! Telling myself this would be the last time.
After the binge I felt ...... sick to my stomach, tired, guilty, frustrated with myself
From this binge, I have learned ........I need to find a better way of managing feelings and stress. I use binges to distract me from what I really need to be doing. I am afraid of success whether it be my weight, school work, work work, whatever.
I am pleased with myself for having confessed to my binge, I can now move on from it without beating myself up.0
