Food Binges

nope, in the 12 weeks I have been dieting, I have had zero binges, zero days off from dieting, if it did not fit into my calories for the day, I did not have it, and it worked! Now with maybe a couple of pounds to go, I am ready to allow 300 more calories a day into my allowance, before beginning maintenance.

Have definitely binged, but not aware of how many calories I engulfed when I did. Too ashamed to log and started over the next day with lots of water and fresh veggies to get back on track. I hate it when it happens, but fortunately it doesn't happen that often. I can eat so well during the day, but being at home alone in the evenings can really be a beast. Something about that peanut butter jar and nutella sitting side by side in the pantry!

Oh wow, I'm positive I've done thousands of calories at once! Pre-diet, I would go to Cold Stone and get two different medium sized creations, and eat them both in one day...washed down with my favorite chips of course!
For me, it seems to be better if I completely starve out the craving...one book I read suggested brushing your teeth when you're craving something, and it actually works.
BUT today on the other hand...I came home from work and noshed while I was making my kids dinner. Then I felt guilty and went to the gym to work it off! Bottom line: the fabulous awesome satisfaction of eating tons of horribly bad for you foods is not worth the desperate guilt (and upset tummy) after you do. If you did it today, start over tomorrow. You can do it!

i try to avoid it but some times it can be a chain reaction...i allow one sweet thing then i immedialty crave something else...now i carry gum all flavors and everytime i feel like i need something i pop a few pieces of gum...try the Extra Key Lime Pie, IceBreakers Rasberry Sorbet, Trident even has Creamsicle...With the pepperoni pizza...i only keep lean cuisines or weight watcher ones which are excellent

I know everyone on here is trying to watch their eating habits, but has anyone ate so much in one night consuming thousands of calories?

YES!!! I so have! Trust me when I say I understand. It's an almost uncontrollable feeling. You know you shouldn't continue eating but you can't stop. Been there.... Keep your head up and get refocused tomorrow!

I am positive i've done it, if it weren't so I wouldn't have weight issues I have definately had those moments of four and five slices of pizza, extra cheese, an extra scoop, a super size, blah blah blah. But there is something about recording EVERYTHING and not allowing yourself to get off the hook just because you mess up and do more, seeing it for what it is has helped me not binge. I've Just decided it's okay to be HUMAN every now and then and eat something that is on my 'now you know you shouldn't be eating that' list. I surround myself with healthy foods, so when i'm having a snack attack it may be something I know is a comfort food for me but it is modified, it may be whole grain, it might be no sugar added, It may not include fries with the burger and water instead of soda (totally cut sodas out btw), this way if I cut up atleast I made a better choice.

Be good to yourself on all levels........

no, but i do over eat but not too the point of binging but trust me i want to on many occasions.

We have all done it - or I would think. Sometimes it's just what we "need to do" but one thing I try to think about it why? I know when I do it that it's really "emotional" eating. Something is going on that I don't want to think about or deal with. For me it's fast food in the car so no one knows - But I"m working to change it. If you do it -don't kick yourself - acknowledge it and know that tomorrow is a new day.

Haha like every day this past week! Sometimes I can hold back and just have a small treat, but these last few days food would take over my entire mind! I walked to school cursing the lack of caramel here and just repeating "I want some freaking caramel" over and over in my head and imagining buying and eating a lot of caramel flavored things. I didn't mostly because caramel is not readily available and because food and drink is forbidden on the MRT/subway, which I had to take to school ^u^

I think my trigger is boredom and depression/anxiety. I feel like I should be doing something, but I am not, and rather than try to go exercise or do something productive, I turn to trying to make myself feel as horrible as possible :grumble: Getting back on the health wagon now though!! Let's think positive I very nearly quit this site, but the number of positive people here made me decide to try harder, instead

so yesterday I drove 1350 miles from Phoenix to McAllen and along the way I stopped at Wendy's and tons of gas stations for energy drinks. Then I got to the hotel and walked next door to Whataburger. I ordered a large strawberry milkshake, a grillen chicken sandwhich, a large onion rings, and a double whataburger!!!!
This is the most I've ordered since I started running but it's pretty typical of my old lifestyle. Thankfully my body didn't know what to do with it and after the grilled chicken and the onion rings, I was a quarter into the double and felt super ill. I tossed the rest of the burger and more than half the milkshake.
This morning I still feel like barfing. Binging like that was like electroshock therapy, or actually like that scene from Clockwork Orange where his eyes are held open and he has to watch all those brutal scenes.
No more binges for me! Bad food is not my friend!!!!

Beware, you are setting yourself up for bad behaviors. The reason people binge is because they have been restricting too much!

I haven't done it in a long time, but I once put down a dozen donuts in one sitting. I would not eat, not eat, not eat...then GORGE! Not good :noway: I haven't done something like that in a long time, thankfully. These days, I just eat too many snacks & bad for you foods which I'm trying to quit.

Wow, I am in the middle of a week-long binge-ing cycle. My food diary is scary and depressing and I feel like giving up. Haven't had such a bad bought of uncontrollable eating for... oh I don't even know...ever?

What can I do to STOP the cycle? I am gaining back all the weight I finally managed to lose

Its purely mental. Write down what you're feeling when you pick up something to eat. Are you anxious, tired, angry? Only you can take control of your feelings and learn WHY you're binging.
