I went by the name SionnaVeritas. I just deleted that account because I was ashamed at how awful my binges have been. Lately I have been buying bulk bags of candy after work and eating all of it before I go to bed. I gained five more pounds in just a couple of days and I just want to hide. I know the gain is beyond noticeable and I wish I didn't have to leave my house..
This needs to stop..
I mainly posted this to regain my friends/support.. so feel free to add me.

I am really struggling. I can't seem to get past the first day. I wake up feeling awful from the previous binge and then I just continue to eat everything in sight. It's been another straight week of 5000+ calorie days. I don't know how to break the cycle.
For all of you that have, what did you do to 'restart'?0 -
I haven't beaten it yet but want you to know you can add me if you like. Mine have been particuarly bad recently as well but keep going. every day is a fresh start!!! xxxx0

I binged almost every day this week. The biggest binge beater for me is exercising 1-2 hours after a 200-300 calorie breakfast, and spending some time on here every day. It's something I've struggled with since I was about 10, so I expect relapses. However, I'm challenging myself to go 10, 20, 30, 40, 50+ days without a binge. Join me if you like Add me if you need to talk to anyone, I definitely know how you feel.0

I am beating myself up even more because I have been thin before. I was 180 back in high school and went all the way down to 107. Now I am in the 150's. I am so discouraged.
Thank you both, lovelies. I just saw your replies now, thank you for the support.. I will send requests.0 -
I hope it's ok to reply as a man. I've thought a lot about this question in my own life over the years. When I did stop as I have since June 3rd (only one binge in about 70 days), why? I just think it is finding your rock bottom. For me I couldn't stop until I felt so uncomfortable so awful so ashamed so physically sick, etc. I know that is bad but every time it was what motivated me. I can't say that one thing motivated me to stop other than just hitting rock bottom. I'm glad you are back this is such a great place to be, it's helped me so much to feel good again.0

I know the feeling. I am in the same place that you are. I was doing so great in my weight loss, and then my husband left me. I also just found out that he was cheating as well. I feel like all I do is eat. I am up 12lbs in less then 3 weeks. I also don't know how to get out of this! My whole life just feels so out of control right now....0

Eating bags of candy...I can relate. Did it for years on almost a daily basis. :blushing: Haven't done that in months and I think what helped me was changing my mindset. I used to tell myself such awful things after I binged and it only made me feel hopeless and then I'd binge some more. I had seen on a blog some positive mantras to repeat (like, "Food fuels my body" and "I am committed to my health") and started saying them every day, especially after a binge just to get me out of bad thought habits.
I also found that stopping the restriction phase after a binge has helped. It was like the restricting (the "punishment") was just setting me up for another binge. I'm getting a little nervous as I get further into my weight loss and have to cut calories. So hoping the increased hunger doesn't trigger a binge.

It's more than okay!
I am so embarrassed, but I am logging all the binges. I am so upset with myself but I just can't seem to stop.0 -

I am so sorry, love..
I think I am doing this out of all the loss I have suffered as well. It's like I am mentally trying to gain all that I lost back.. but in the form of weight and not the love I miss. =/0 -
I hope I can get back into that mindset again.0

You will, we all will, and have people have shown here, it can be beaten! xxxx0

This is where I come to find hope each and every day - just logging in every day and logging my food and feeling everyone's love. Hope is really the source of all of my successes. We can all do it together.0
