    I don't binge.
    Me neither. As I commented on that other post, I have foods I love everyday and no longer feel deprived or have any urges to binge.
    I think for some people, binges aren't the result of over restriction, but rather difficult emotions. My approach is moderation, but I still have the occasional, unplanned binge. When this happens, it's not about the food; it's about my state of mind and emotions.

    I binge on cereal. I usually allow for 2 servings, but sometimes i eat a serving dry before i even eat my 2 servings with milk. I know that dry serving is not going to fill the void in my stomach, so i do not know why i keep doing it. Its ok though because i usually do not eat back all my exercise calories and i end up in a deficit even now that i am in maintenance mode.

    Cheese, candy, bread, pastries, chocolate. It's what I used to binge on. Not anymore really.

    Potato chips! I cant have chips in the house because they call out to me and I can easily devour a big bag in no time.. one of my fav past times was eating a big bag of corn chips and reading a girly novel.. luckily after a few years I have managed to break the habit and now have a cup of tea :)

    I luckily havent had a huge binge in a really long while..

    Any sweets. But in particular ice cream. I'm trying a new approach since I joined mfp. Moderation in everything. Hopefully by binging days are over.

    I think there's a difference between binging and over-eating stuff you like. I think binging can be on anything and usually has an emotional trigger, you just open the fridge or the cupboard and start eating. (My friend once ate the sage and onion stuffing that she'd just made for the turkey when her boyfriend dumped her on Christmas Eve - that was definitely a binge!)
    Most of us that have posted seem to have portion control issues with certain tasty foods, we have to be careful because we know we could over indulge, I'm not sure that necessarily constitutes a binge?

    Cakes, cookies, Twix bars.

    If those in particular are within my grasp, I eat until there's none left and feel ashamed about it for up to a week later.

    I don't know if I've ever really had a binge persey. I definitely have foods I find it hard to exercise portion control on; chips, chocolate, baked goods, butter etc. Fatty foods seem to do me in!

    Good point. Everyone has different struggles.
