in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I'm a married woman 5' and 214 pounds. I just deep fried a can of biscuits, smothered them in frosting and inhaled them. I am a binge eater, I feel guilty and so depressed about what I just did. Stupid fact, i ate because i was already feeling depressed, vicious cycle. Then I thought, maby I'm not the only one? Just maby there is one soul out there who knows how I feel right now. So here I am admitting (and feeling vulnerable) my serious problem, and asking for help. I have been logging for 10 days, I joined a gym, I am serious about getting healthy all I need is a kindred spirit. Someone to keep me accountable and honest, and I promise I will do fhe same :)

    Ouch I have been there before I am a very emotional eater! Though I have yet to try deep fried biscuits I have found many other crazy combos! The best advice you made a mistake figure out your trigger (scared of success, change, mourning the loss of your past life style) make a healthy plan of attack for next time you feel that way and then forgive yourself for the mistake!! Way to share your story Self help comes from helping others!

    We have all been there! Every one, regardless of weight, height or body (OR ANYTHING) has binge ate at least once and regretted it (I mean, Christmas, Halloween, THANKSGIVING!). Do NOT be so hard on yourself. You have take the beginning and necessary steps to get your health and body back. Start with baby steps and work your way up! That is why you have MFP! Use the people you find on here to be inspirations and help you on your weight loss journey!

    This is where start admitting you have a problem, it might be a good idea to have a cheat day one day out of the week or every other week, that way you have something to reward your self with. My biggest inspiration has been Chris Powell he does the extreme weight loss he keeps me going.... YouTube him..... You can do this even if you start small your starting some where.

    Search "worst binge" on the forums... there are some pretty amazing threads out there. You are not alone! Changing your mindset about emotional eating is hard, but it can be done. And tons of people have been there. Welcome!

    its okay, tomorrow's a new day!!!
    I sent you a FR and we'll motivate each other to not do this anymore :-)

    I've been there and done that... and still do from time to time. I eat when im sad, mad, bored, happy, etc.... and i dont ever know when to stop. It's a problem but I believe its easily overcome if we just have will-power and we understand ourselves more.

    Here's to a healthy future! Keep me accountable too :-)

    I really like your avatar. That is probably my favorite all-time threadless shirt.

    I am no expert in this subject, but although I have never really had a weakness for sweets, I used to crave pasta, cheese and red meat voraciously. I noticed that after about a week of severely cutting them down in my diet, I stopped craving them so much. Now I crave eggplant hummus and pita chips when I am sad or stressed. If you can get through the first week or two, you may find that your body adjusts and stops craving the fattening stuff so much. However, this has just been my experience.

    I've finished off most of a tub of ice cream in one sitting - and then went out to buy more to replace it (and then had to eat some of that so it was at the same level as the original one) so my ex-husband wouldn't find out. :noway:

    Fortunately, I got rid of the stressors that triggered that type of behaviour. That's probably the best thing to do, IF you can.

    We've all been there. Don't let it set you back and don't beat yourself up about it. Get re-focused on your goal and start fresh.

    :flowerforyou:

    Don't give up -- I read somewhere -- "If you drop your cellphone, would you stomp on it and totally destroy the phone?" -- I applied it to eating habits -- mess up, carry on, don't destroy my efforts to date.
